First look
Aman Miami Beach is reported for 2027, built around a restoration of the historic Versailles building in the Faena District. Alongside the hotel, a new residential tower designed by Kengo Kuma is part of the project. On paper this is the brand pairing an old Miami Beach landmark with new architecture rather than starting from a blank slate.
What we’ll be watching
Whether the restoration holds up. The Versailles has been empty since 2011 — over a decade of vacancy on a coastal building before Aman took it on. Fourteen years of salt air and neglect is a real challenge for a structure that’s meant to feel pristine on arrival. We’ll be watching whether the finished rooms feel genuinely revived or paper over the building’s wear.
Whether 55 keys and 22 residences can coexist cleanly. Aman New York showed that the brand can make a city address work, but a hotel this small sharing a block with private residence buyers creates a gravitational pull toward the owners. We’ll be watching whether paying hotel guests feel like the primary consideration or a secondary revenue stream to a condo play.
Whether the date holds, again. The original target was 2024; the current target is 2027. Three years of slippage on a project that was already in planning is a pattern worth noting. Vertical construction was underway in mid-2025, which is progress, but coastal Miami construction has its own rhythm.
Whether Jean-Michel Gathy delivers here what he did in New York. Denniston’s interiors at Aman New York were the product’s strongest card. The Miami brief — Art Deco bones, Japanese minimalism from the Kuma tower next door, beachfront light — is a harder brief to resolve. The interiors will either make the restoration feel inevitable or make it feel like a collision.

Before it opens
When does Aman Miami Beach open?
The current target is 2027, per the brand’s own site and developer communications. The opening has already slipped significantly — the project was originally announced for 2024 — so treat 2027 as expected rather than fixed. Vertical construction was underway on the residential tower as of mid-2025, which is genuine progress, but the date carries a track record of movement.
Where is Aman Miami Beach located?
It’s at 3425 Collins Avenue in the Faena District of Miami Beach — mid-beach, on the oceanfront. The hotel occupies the restored 1940 Versailles building, a 16-story Art Deco tower designed by Roy France that sat vacant from 2011 until Aman took it on.
Is this Aman’s first hotel in Miami, and who is developing it?
Yes, it will be Aman’s first Miami property and its second US urban hotel after Aman New York (2022). The project is being developed by Vladislav Doronin of OKO Group — who is also Aman’s chairman — alongside Len Blavatnik of Access Industries.
How many rooms will Aman Miami Beach have?
The hotel is reported at 55 to 56 keys, housed in the restored Versailles building. Alongside the hotel, an adjacent 18-story tower designed by Kengo Kuma will contain 22 private residences, which were reportedly fully presold by 2021.
What restaurants and facilities will it have, and who designed the interiors?
Specific restaurant names have not been publicly confirmed as of mid-2026. The property is expected to include an Aman Spa and dining venues. Hotel interiors are by Jean-Michel Gathy of Denniston, the studio behind Aman New York and many of the brand’s most well-regarded properties. The new residential tower’s architecture is by Kengo Kuma, who also designed Four Seasons Okinawa.
Will Fat Voyage score Aman Miami Beach?
We publish a Fat Score only once a hotel is open and real guests have stayed and written about it — drawn from luxury travel communities, editorial publications, and verified guests, never paid placements. This is a first look, not a verdict; we’ll score it once there’s enough independent signal to be fair.
