Marlin Hotel, Miami

For a true sense of 1930s' Art Deco, one should definitely not fail to check out The Marlin! Originally designed by architect Lawrence Murray Dixon, a principal figure in the tropical Art Deco movement, this landmark structure was one of Miami’s first boutique hotels. Constructed in 1939, the building features Dixon's trademark design known as "eyebrows" over the windows. In a way, its style reminds the science fiction serial Flash Gordon.

Back in the 1980s, the hotel accommodated South Beach Studios, a tropical retreat where Aerosmith, Jay-Z, and Pharrell Williams recorded their music.

Nowadays fully renovated to preserve its timeless Art Deco character, the hotel offers its guests every modern luxury. As a member of a Miami-based hospitality group, the MRK Hotel Collection, The Marlin welcomes those who want to combine their love of history, the beach, the ocean, and fantastic South Beach nightlife.

Nestled in the heart of the Art Deco District, The Marlin finds itself at the epicenter of Miami Beach’s iconic shopping, nightlife, and entertainment scene, while a quick walk away from the beach. Also, if you ever get hungry, note that The Marlin is a home to the award-winning Northern Italian restaurant Osteria Del Teatro.
