Five buildings trace Deco-to-MiMo evolution
The buildings being merged into the hotel chart Miami Beach's shift from Streamline Moderne design to postwar Miami Modern, or MiMo, architecture. The anchor structure is the original Collins Park Hotel, designed by architect Henry Hohauser and completed in 1939, known for its curved glass entrance pavilion, chevron detailing, rounded corners and an original "2000" address marker. Hilton noted that during World War II the building was used as military housing for the U.S. Army Air Forces Technical Training Command.
The other four buildings in the collection, per Hilton, are:
| Building | Architect | Year | Notable features |
|---|---|---|---|
| Former Adams Hotel | L. Murray Dixon | 1938 | Stepped tower, ribbon windows, rooftop lantern |
| Tyler Hotel | Albert Anis | 1940 | Bas-relief panels, dual-lobby layout |
| Former Copley Terrace Apartments | L. Murray Dixon | 1938 | Part of the original apartment cluster |
| S&M Apartments (later Sunking II) | Not specified | 1948 | Later renamed Sunking II |
| Lord Charles and Gamshire buildings | Albert Anis | 1953 | Designed as an architectural pair |
Restoration follows years of vacancy and a 2012 fire
Hilton said the buildings sat vacant for years and were damaged by a fire in 2012 before the restoration project took shape. The company frames the hotel as a way to preserve nearly 90 years of Miami Beach architectural history while introducing what it calls a contemporary hospitality experience inside the historic shells.
Hilton has not released room rates, a specific opening date beyond "early 2027," or details on the dining concepts planned for the property. The company's announcement, dated , positions the hotel as a new anchor for the Museum Historic District, pairing landmark Deco and MiMo buildings with the brand's global hotel operations. Further details, including an exact opening date and booking availability, are expected as 2027 approaches.
