Rosewood The Raleigh Miami Beach

Miami Beach, FL, USA

The restoration of the Raleigh Hotel, located in the heart of South Miami Beach on the famous Collins Avenue, presents a unique opportunity to reintroduce to the world a property that is historically iconic and tastefully modernized. BLG acquired the Raleigh Hotel off-market, recognizing the great potential it holds for the hotel's redevelopment. 

Known as the 'Grand Dame' of South Beach Art Deco, the Raleigh is a perfect blend of style, comfort and legendary Art Deco glamour. Built by architect Lawrence Murray Dixon in 1940, the hotel has maintained its status as an architectural and design icon over the years. The proposed redevelopment and repositioning program, led by renowned architects Peter Marino and Kobi Karp, embracing the innovative spirit of the original architect, will restore The Raleigh to its former glory as a symbol of style and luxury not just in Miami Beach but worldwide. 

The current site consists of the Raleigh Hotel, Richmond Hotel and South Seas Hotel, built on a total of 132,529 square meters or 3.04 acres of land. With development rights, it has 265,058 square meters of usable area and approximately 60 meters of linear waterfront on South Beach's most coveted beachfront. The Raleigh pool was built for famous actress and swimmer Esther Williams, whose famous swimming routines brought fame to the hotel, and the pool has repeatedly been named the most glamorous pool in America. 

In addition to its rich history, the Raleigh Hotel also offers modern amenities. The property is 15,344 square meters in size and provides guests with luxurious and comfortable accommodation with 44 residences and 60 hotel suites. Other facilities include restaurants, spa, gym, event spaces and convenient parking. 

In 2021, BLG sold its shares in Rosewood The Raleigh Miami Beach and, while not assuming any management role, retains its share of future profits.
