Designed by architect T. Hunter Henderson
in 1936 as a masterpiece of Art Deco luxury,
the Astor
Hotel Miami Beach continues to reign supreme
- a bastion of luxury, modern design, and simple
sophistication on Washington Avenue at 10th Street.
Extensive renovations in 1997 and 2002 lend an
updated twist to this Art Deco beauty, without compromising
its architectural integrity. The hotel has maintained
not only the original exterior facade of cut coral
stone, but also its characteristic design features.
Henderson was a prolific architect,
responsible for a total of 29 properties throughout
Miami
Beach, nevertheless the Astor Hotel Miami
Beach unarguably continues on as his piece
de resistance. The Miami
Design Preservation League has listed the
Hotel Astor
on the National Register of Historic Places
, and it is likewise prominently featured in the
Art Deco Historic and Architectural
South Beach tour.
The Astor
Hotel Miami Beach's striking lobby defines haute
minimalism at its very best. It is a fine example
of modern design elements perfectly at home in
an Art Deco palace. Unique features
such as: the original 1936 Vitrolite wall panels; and a vertical
water sculpture featured in the garden area all
seamlessly combine, ushering guests into an atmosphere
of true style and contemporary elegance.
At the Astor Hotel Miami
Beach we recognize that when guests select
a luxury property, they expect professional service
to match - and we have the staff to prove it.
Our service-oriented and courteous staff is on
hand to guarantee that every aspect of your stay
with us is an A+ experience. The Astor Hotel
Miami Beach is a favorite destination
of celebrities, artists and fashion photographers,
as well as business executives and discerning
leisure travelers from around the world. Quite
simply put: our guests are a cut above the rest,
and so too is our staff and commitment to quality.
It doesn't get much better than this. Situated
in the very heart of South
Beach, the Astor Hotel Miami
Beach provides great amenities in a chic and
sophisticated atmosphere, with a staff that's
focused on your needs. Whether it's for pleasure
or for business (and we're firm believers that
you can invariably combine the two), make the
right choice, and claim the Hotel Astor
as your own. |
