Bulgari Hotel Miami Beach

The first Bulgari hotel in the US, inside a restored 1950s Modernist building

Miami Beach, United States

First look

Bulgari's first hotel in the United States is headed for Miami Beach, at 100 21st Street, inside a restored 1950s Modernist building. The plan calls for around 100 rooms, most of them suites, alongside an outdoor pool, a spa, and dining by Chef Niko Romito — the chef whose kitchens already anchor much of the Bulgari portfolio. Putting the brand inside a mid-century restoration rather than a new tower is the detail we find most interesting; it ties the property to the city's architectural identity instead of importing a generic luxury shell.

The opening date is genuinely unsettled. Bulgari's own press article is headlined "To open in 2028," while the destinations navigation and more recent press point to 2029, so roughly 2028-2029 is the realistic window. What we'll be watching for is how the restoration handles the jump from a 1950s footprint to a suite-heavy luxury program, and whether Romito's dining lands as a real draw or just a recognizable name. Until then, it's anticipation, not a verdict.

Not yet scored. We publish a Fat Score only once a hotel is open and real guests have stayed and written about it — this is a first look, not a verdict.

Nothing to book yet — rates usually load a few months out. We're Sofie and Nicolas; tell us roughly what you're after and we'll come back the moment Bulgari Hotel Miami Beach is bookable, with rates, what the rooms are actually like, and whether we'd go in the first season.

You'll be dealing with the two of us the whole way through, which is why we only take on a handful of trips at a time — if we're full, we'll say so. We reply by email, usually within one working day. The hotel pays us, not you: your rate is the same as booking direct, and the perks come on top.

Bulgari Hotel Roma — Rome, Italy

Bulgari Hotel Roma

Rome, Italy

A returning guest called this place a home away from home; another said the team treated her like a friend rather than a customer. That's the pattern across the spa, the car service, breakfast and the front desk, and it's the real reason to pick Bulgari Roma over most other five-stars in the city, alongside a location that puts the Spanish Steps and Trevi Fountain in easy walking range and a rooftop that regulars single out as one of the few in Rome that doesn't feel like a tour-bus stop, looking straight onto the Augustus Mausoleum. It isn't flawless, and the flaws cluster in predictable places. A guest in room 434 got hours of rooftop-bar noise into the early morning in June 2026, with no room change offered even though the front desk already knew that room had a history of it. The bathrooms are a real weak point: shower floors that flood from misaligned doors, and no lift up to the roof bar, so you're taking the stairs. The pool has been shut or too cold to swim on more than one visit, once sitting at 67°F for three of four nights. Breakfast draws some of the most enthusiastic writing of any Rome hotel, but it's à la carte only, and one family waited forty minutes for a child's porridge while the rest of the table finished eating. Book it for the people and the address, not for flawless plumbing, and ask for a room away from the rooftop bar if you're a light sleeper. Travelers wanting old-Rome garden grandeur instead tend to mention Hotel de Russie, though people who've done both usually come back here. For the staff, the terrace and that view onto the ruins, it's worth the rate.
