Balfour Miami Beach Joins Registry Collection Hotels, Bringing Art Deco Elegance to Wyndham’s Luxury Portfolio
Miami Beach has welcomed a new chapter in its iconic hospitality story as Balfour Miami Beach officially joins the prestigious Registry Collection Hotels, Wyndham’s global portfolio of independent luxury properties. Located in the sought-after South of Fifth neighborhood, the historic Art Deco hotel brings together timeless glamour, thoughtful design, and contemporary comfort, reinforcing Miami’s reputation as a world-class travel destination.
Originally opened in 1940, Balfour Miami Beach has long been admired for its pastel façades, classic terrazzo floors, and warm, inviting atmosphere that reflects the golden era of Miami’s Art Deco movement. Its inclusion in the Registry Collection marks a significant milestone, positioning the property among a curated group of distinctive hotels celebrated for their individuality, character, and exceptional guest experiences.
The 82-room boutique hotel spans two beautifully restored buildings, connected by a tranquil, palm-lined courtyard that offers guests a peaceful retreat just moments from the energy of South Beach. The interiors strike a careful balance between heritage and modernity, featuring herringbone floors inspired by the 1940s, Frette Italian linens, marble walk-in rain showers, and in-room Lavazza coffee. Premium bath amenities from The Botanist & The Chemist further enhance the refined guest experience.
Beyond its thoughtfully designed rooms and suites, Balfour Miami Beach offers an enviable location just steps from the Atlantic Ocean. Guests enjoy complimentary beach chairs, allowing them to fully embrace Miami’s famed coastline, while complimentary bicycles make it easy to explore the vibrant streets and cultural landmarks of South Beach.
Dining at the hotel reflects the city’s diverse culinary influences. Laurel, the on-site restaurant, serves Mediterranean-inspired cuisine in an elegant yet relaxed setting, while SoFi Coffee provides a casual space for artisanal coffee and light bites throughout the day. Together, these offerings add to the hotel’s appeal as both a stylish retreat and a social hub.
The hotel also caters to modern travelers with a range of amenities designed for comfort and connection. These include a serene pool terrace, weekend wellness sessions, pet-friendly accommodations, and inviting social spaces that encourage guests to relax and engage with the destination.
By joining Registry Collection Hotels, Balfour Miami Beach now benefits from Wyndham’s global reach while maintaining its independent spirit. The Registry Collection is known for showcasing hotels with a strong sense of place, alongside other notable properties across the United States and Europe. Guests can also enjoy access to Wyndham Rewards, adding further value to their stay.
With its rich history, prime beachfront location, and elevated guest experience, Balfour Miami Beach stands as a shining example of how heritage properties can evolve while staying true to their roots. As part of the Registry Collection Hotels portfolio, it is poised to attract discerning travelers seeking authentic luxury, timeless design, and the unmistakable charm of Miami Beach.
