First look
This is a restoration story as much as a hotel opening. Rosewood is building a 60-room hotel behind the preserved Art Deco facades of three Miami Beach landmarks, the Raleigh, the Richmond and the South Seas, with a Peter Marino-designed residential tower alongside. Keeping the count to 60 keys signals something more intimate than the usual oceanfront machine.
The project is reported to be on track for 2027, which makes it one of the firmer dates on Rosewood’s near-term board. The combination we’ll be watching for is whether the new build genuinely serves the old facades rather than swallowing them, the trap most Deco restorations fall into. If Marino’s hand and the 60-room scale deliver, this could be a properly considered Miami Beach return.
What we’ll be watching
Whether the dining delivers. Langosteria, the Milan seafood group, is opening its first US location here as the beach club — a real swing for a brand-new American outpost, and the kind of partnership that either earns its own following or becomes a curiosity. We’ll be watching whether the Italian seafood formula travels to South Beach or just sounds good on paper.
Whether 60 rooms can hold their own against 40 residences and a members’ beach club. The residential side and the private-member club infrastructure are doing a lot of the heavy lifting on this project — the question is whether the hotel guests get the full experience or a version of it with roped-off sections. The resident pools-only policy is already built into the plan.
Whether Peter Marino’s tower serves the old facades or simply frames them. The three Art Deco buildings — the Raleigh, Richmond and South Seas — are the soul of this project, but the new 17-story tower is also a Peter Marino statement. Deco restorations have a long track record of making the old facades a decorative wrapper for something entirely different. We’ll be watching whether the 1940s bones actually read inside.
Whether 2027 holds. The January 2025 milestone announcement showed excavation and piling still in progress at that point — which makes 2027 a tight target for a $1 billion, three-acre build on one of Miami Beach’s most scrutinised historic sites. The date is officially on track, but worth hedging until keys are actually turning.

Before it opens
When does Rosewood The Raleigh Miami Beach open?
The project is reported to be on track for a 2027 completion, per SHVO and Rosewood’s own statements. That covers both the hotel and the residential tower. As with any build of this scale and historic complexity on Miami Beach, treat 2027 as the expected window rather than a fixed date.
Where is Rosewood The Raleigh Miami Beach located?
It sits at 1775 Collins Avenue on 215 linear feet of beachfront in Miami Beach’s Art Deco Historic District. The three-acre estate spans the former Raleigh, Richmond and South Seas hotel sites on what is informally known as Billionaire’s Beach.
Is this Rosewood’s first hotel in Miami Beach?
Yes. Rosewood has no existing open hotel in Miami Beach; The Raleigh will be the brand’s first. It is operated by Rosewood and developed by SHVO alongside Deutsche Finance America.
How many rooms will Rosewood The Raleigh Miami Beach have?
The hotel is planned with 60 rooms and suites, integrated within the restored Art Deco facades of the three original buildings. Alongside it sits a separate 17-story residential tower with 40 private residences, including five penthouses — that is the condominium component, not the hotel count.
What restaurants and facilities will it have?
The property plans to include Langosteria as an exclusive beach club — the Milan-based seafood group’s first US location — alongside the restored Tiger Room and Martini Bar, which are Raleigh originals. Facilities include four pools (two reserved for residents), an Asaya Spa with hammam, and an ocean-facing fitness centre. The 17-story tower is designed by Peter Marino, with Kobi Karp as the exterior architect.
Will Fat Voyage score Rosewood The Raleigh 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.
