Balfour Miami Beach joins Wyndham’s Registry Collection Hotels | News

With decades of iconic style and unmistakable flair, Balfour Miami Beach makes its grand entrance into Registry Collection Hotels, adding a touch of classic Art Deco cool to the brand’s curated lineup of independent gems. At the 82-room South of Fifth landmark, golden-era glamor meets modern Miami sophistication, heralding a bold new chapter for one of the city’s most celebrated and beloved destinations.

The hotel’s history, complete with its pastel facades and terrazzo details, has been a South Beach fixture since 1940 and now exudes a vibrant, modern vibe that feels unmistakably Miami. With its inviting pool terrace, on-site culinary offerings and airy social areas, the hotel reflects the playful spirit of the city, just steps away from lively streets and sun-drenched beaches.

“In the heart of Miami Beach, Balfour combines tranquil, bold design with a relaxed, accessible style of luxury that feels effortlessly inviting. Just steps from the beach, it is a destination defined by its prime location, the character of the iconic neighborhood and the warm, welcoming rhythm of its hospitality – creating a distinctive and memorable stay that fits perfectly within Registry Collection Hotels’ portfolio of iconic properties.”

– Leo Danese, Vice President of Lifestyle Brands, Wyndham Hotels & Resorts

“For generations, Balfour has been a place our guests return to, not just for its Art Deco charm or the warmth of South of Fifth, but also for the welcoming atmosphere that makes everyone feel at home. Now, with Registry Collection Hotels by our side in this next chapter, we can share that feeling with even more travelers while staying true to the spirit and unique style that make this hotel special.”

-Andrew Stegen, Executive Vice President of Operations, FullG CRE Investments

A legacy of style, a destination in itself
The hotel was designed in 1940 by Art Deco architect Anton Skislewicz and consists of two lovingly restored buildings connected by a palm tree-lined courtyard. The rooms and suites balance mid-century character with luxurious comfort: including herringbone floors, Frette Italian linens, marble walk-in rain showers, in-room Lavazza coffee, and The Botanist & The Chemist toiletries.

For guests who want to fill their days with sun and sand, the hotel offers complimentary beach chairs just steps from the Atlantic Ocean. Culinary moments come courtesy of the on-site Laurel restaurant, where Mediterranean-inspired cuisine meets South Beach flavors, and SoFi Coffee, the hotel’s relaxed artisan café. Guests can ride around the neighborhood on complimentary bicycles, relax with weekend wellness sessions, and take their four-legged friends along with the hotel’s pet-friendly offerings.
