Greystone Miami Beach, in Miami Beach, Florida, is an Art Deco-style hotel built in 1939. It was "designed by renowned architect Henry Hohauser, who was given the title of “Great Floridian” by Florida’s Department of State in 1993 for his major contribution to the distinct Art Deco architectural scene present throughout the region."[1]

It is located in Miami Beach's Art Deco district.[1]

It was under renovation in 2019.[2]

It was a member of the Historic Hotels of America in 2020,[3] but appears not to be HHA-listed in 2022.[4]

In 2022 Architectural Digest termed the hotel an "architectural gem", "one of architect Henry Hohauser's iconic hotels", and one of "eight iconic buildings throughout the city that have been renovated to showcase their historic value through a 21st-century lens."[5] It noted the reopening of the hotel as "Hotel Greystone" in September 2021, and stated that Holly Muhl of Bowenholly, "who led the interior design, said, 'Our goal was to create something stylish and comfortable that evokes the dynamic layers of Miami Beach. The building offers so many opportunities for a sophisticated audience depending on your mood, and we wanted every space to give guests a welcome and authentic sense of place.' Its signature restaurant, Sérêvène, serves up fare using Japanese ingredients and French techniques; its neighboring Greystone Jazz Bar presents a sing-along piano bar by candlelight."[5]

The partnership involved in the renovation, however, broke up and filed lawsuits against each other.[6]

A lawsuit was dismissed in January 2022 however.[7]

Is it included in the Collins Waterfront Architectural District, listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2011?
