The Plymouth South Beach
With an Art Deco facade and a slew of amenities, The Plymouth is a gem in the heart of South Beach. Tucked around the corner from Collins Avenue, it’s a short walk to the beach and is home to the renowned Blue Ribbon Sushi Bar & Grill (the hotel also partners with Orange Blossom for breakfast).
The interiors of The Plymouth were completely renovated in late 2016. Designer Fernando Santangelo took the old-fashioned Art Moderne building’s boxy exterior and made it feel fresh and relevant by blending vintage furnishings and Restoration Hardware into the design.
Throughout the property, guests will find everything from a playful bamboo bar and the excellent Blue Ribbon Sushi Bar & Grill to a lovely outdoor pool. A private beach area is also available for guests.
Guest rooms are sophisticated and offer custom designs by Fernando Santangelo with Restoration Hardware furnishings. These feature button-tufted headboards, bar carts and subway-tiled bathrooms with walk-in rainfall showers.
