Situated south of the Miami River on SW 11th Street in Mary Brickell Village part of the city's financial district which has seen significant investment and development in recent years the hotel tells stories of its neighborhood, where a symphony of Latin, Spanish, Native American and American folk influences are embraced and celebrated daily. The choice location and prominent exterior reveal striking interiors designed by internationally recognized architect and fashion designer Angel Sanchez of Sanchez + Coleman Studio. Sanchez's dramatic, contemporary designs, Venezuelan heritage and renown throughout Latin America and the U.S. made him the perfect choice to spearhead this project.

The Brutalist style of the interior architecture features poured concrete and rigid geometric lines and is contrasted by the vibrant rich blue and bright yellow palette and mosaic theme which runs through all the spaces. 140 guest rooms showcase local artwork and circular rugs inspired by the ancient Miami Circle archaeological site unearthed close to the hotel. The site was key in telling the story of Miami Brickell's earliest inhabitants the indigenous Tequesta people, who lived in the area for over 2,000 years.

Guests will check-in surrounded by stunning custom tilework, evoking the mosaic of influences and cultures that thrive and collaborate in Brickell.
