Rosewood The Raleigh

Located on the legendary Collins Avenue in South Miami Beach, the rebirth of The Raleigh Hotel represents a rare opportunity to bring back one of Miami’s most iconic properties, infused with the elegance of its Art Deco roots and elevated by the sophistication of modern design. Originally constructed in 1940 by renowned architect Lawrence Murray Dixon, The Raleigh has long stood as a beacon of architectural innovation and Miami Beach glamour. Today, its revival—anchored by visionaries Peter Marino and Kobi Karp—reintroduces this Grand Dame of South Beach with a new chapter of legacy, luxury, and unmatched beachfront living.

Now renamed Rosewood The Raleigh Miami Beach, the project not only revives the celebrated Raleigh Hotel but also integrates two historic neighbors—the Richmond and South Seas Hotels—into a cohesive beachfront masterpiece that reflects Miami’s cultural heritage while embracing a new standard of high-end hospitality and residential lifestyle.

A Prime Oceanfront Legacy

Spanning a 3.04-acre site with 200 linear feet of South Beach’s most coveted oceanfront, The Raleigh’s combined property boasts 132,529 square feet of land and 265,058 square feet of development rights. It is situated on Miami Beach’s primary beachfront strip, offering direct ocean access, unobstructed views, and a location just moments from South Beach, Downtown, the Design District, Wynwood, and Miami International Airport.

Few addresses in South Florida match this blend of history, geography, and beachfront exclusivity. This is a site that not only tells the story of Miami Beach but continues to shape its evolution.

Historical Restoration with Contemporary Brilliance

Working in collaboration with the Miami Beach Historic Preservation Board, the restoration of The Raleigh focuses on preserving the elegance and spirit of its Art Deco legacy. The building’s distinctive lines, ornamented facades, and iconic spaces such as the Martini Bar and Tiger Room are being meticulously restored. These spaces, once the gathering points of Hollywood stars and global tastemakers, are being brought back to life with a renewed commitment to authenticity and luxury.

A key highlight of the restoration is the revival of The Raleigh’s world-famous swimming pool. Originally built for actress and swimmer Esther Williams, the curvaceous pool and its lush tropical landscaping were once the backdrop for some of the most glamorous poolside scenes in America. This historic pool, often cited as the most beautiful in the country, will once again become a social centerpiece—reimagined for the modern guest but rooted in timeless design.

Residences and Hotel: A Seamless Blend of Privacy and Indulgence

The Raleigh’s redevelopment includes a 17-story contemporary tower, complementing the historic structures with a refined modern aesthetic. This new tower will house the Rosewood Residences Miami Beach—44 ultra-luxurious private homes offering unobstructed views of the Atlantic Ocean and direct beach access. These residences are crafted with spacious layouts, curated finishes, and the highest quality fixtures to ensure a level of comfort and sophistication that defines elevated beachfront living.

In addition, the restored hotel will include 60 rooms and suites across the Raleigh, Richmond, and South Seas buildings. The accommodations merge historic charm with modern elegance and are designed to offer a world-class hospitality experience under the Rosewood Hotels & Resorts brand.

Each amenity is designed to reflect the property’s rich history while also embracing the demands of contemporary luxury living.

Architectural Heritage Meets Global Sophistication

The Raleigh Hotel’s architecture, a cornerstone of Miami’s Art Deco era, is celebrated and elevated through this redevelopment. Guided by the expertise of Peter Marino and Kobi Karp, the property’s design preserves the original character of Dixon’s vision while layering in Marino’s refined modern sensibilities. The result is a rare fusion of historic preservation and architectural progression.

This respectful yet forward-thinking design ethos extends to the interiors as well—where timeless elegance, Miami’s coastal palette, and subtle nods to Art Deco geometry come together to create serene and sophisticated spaces.

The Future of South Beach’s Luxury Landscape

The Raleigh is more than a hotel or a residential development—it’s a cultural landmark. Its revival is a celebration of Miami’s past and a vision for its future. With 44 private residences and 60 hotel suites, each space is crafted to deliver a bespoke experience, whether as a primary home, a luxurious getaway, or a landmark hospitality venue.

Though BLG no longer manages the Rosewood Raleigh Miami Beach following its 2021 divestiture, it retains a share in the project's future profits—underscoring the continued belief in the transformative power and potential of this iconic property.
