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.

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.

What we'll be watching

We haven't stayed yet — here's what will decide whether it lands when we do.

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.

Sofie, who runs the Fat Voyage booking desk with Nicolas

Want us to get you in when it opens?

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 Rosewood The Raleigh 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.

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.

Rosewood Miramar Beach

Montecito, USA

What you're paying for is a real beach in a part of California that mostly doesn't have one, and a property built to look like a rich family's compound rather than a hotel. White bungalow rooms, lawns running to the sand, dinner at Caruso's or the sushi counter at Ama: guests come back to the same front-desk names, Tim, Daniel, Jenna, when they explain why the trip worked. One couple got moved into a beachfront suite for their anniversary because Daniel decided to do it; another had the valet team hand over spare hats to grandparents who'd forgotten theirs before a driving-range trip. That's a lot of specific staff praise for a 150-plus room resort, and it isn't the same three names in every account. The catch is priced into the same reviews. The train runs along the property and the freeway isn't far off, so the seclusion the marketing implies is a stretch, and a few guests over the years have found the sound of it charming rather than intrusive. Pool and beach-bar service comes up as slow across enough stays to call it a pattern rather than one bad afternoon, and a handful of long-time guests this year describe the food and service actually slipping from prior visits, not just an off night. At $2,000-5,000 depending on room and season, a 30-minute valet wait or a 20-minute breakfast seating lands harder than it would somewhere cheaper, and base rooms skip things like bidets and smart TVs that guests expect at this rate. Book it for the beach, the food, and a place built for lounging rather than anticipating your every move: families and dog owners in particular get looked after well here. The oceanfront and Beach House categories are worth stretching for over the garden bungalows. San Ysidro Ranch comes up often as the more intimate alternative nearby, though it isn't on the sand. For a beach trip out of LA, this is still the one to book.

Rosewood

Hôtel de Crillon, A Rosewood Hotel

Paris, France

The case for the Crillon is made by named people. The managing director, Vincent Billiard, works the breakfast room himself. A doorman named Michael remembered a returning couple's dinner plans and had the car arranged before they asked. Concierge staff have talked their way into a fully-booked Hermès leather appointment. Guests who write these down are telling you something a five-star average can't. The Karl Lagerfeld suites remain the most distinctive rooms in Paris, the courtyard is a genuine pocket of quiet in the middle of the city, and Les Ambassadeurs is one of the few grand hotel bars where you still hear French at the next table. The catch is priced clearly enough. Base Deluxe rooms run small for the rate, and anyone arriving from Le Bristol or the Ritz feels the square-footage gap even as the staff feel like an upgrade. Place de la Concorde is the address everyone wants and also the noise nobody quite avoids; some regulars say they'd trade it for a quieter Saint-Germain or 8th-arrondissement spot if calm mattered more than the view. Les Ambassadeurs has a real consistency problem with non-residents: one longtime local patron describes standing outside for half an hour while reserved tables sat empty, then getting a rude waiter once finally seated, and points to how rarely the same bartenders are still there the next time she visits. None of that undoes what the suites and the staff deliver; it just means the entry-level room isn't where this hotel makes its case. Book it for the address, the Lagerfeld suites, and a service culture where the managing director still greets people by name at breakfast.

Rosewood Beijing

Beijing, China

Rooms here start at 50 square meters, which in Beijing's CBD is close to unheard of, and the triple-height lobby with its ink paintings and calligraphy still reads as one of the best arrivals in the city more than a decade after opening. The rooms themselves lean library rather than hotel room: dark wood, art, shelves stacked with books and curios. One guest spent a whole afternoon just reading in the room and meant it as a compliment. The Manor Club lounge is the other reason people keep coming back, and Vincent and Joyce get named specifically for turning breakfast and evening cocktails into something worth paying the upgrade for. Country Kitchen's duck gets called some of the best in the city, not just the hotel. The ground floor doesn't match it. A guest asking about a beverage menu at breakfast was met with a raised eyebrow and told there wasn't one, no training visible behind it. Another was double-charged at checkout and needed several staff to sort out what turned out to be a backend error. A third guest was charged over 300 RMB for two bottles of sparkling water with no warning. None of this touches the lounge, which nobody complains about, but it does mean the regular restaurants and front desk are a bit of a coin flip depending who's on. The spa is a real gap too: no proper hot tub, no steam room, no resting area, which is a strange miss for a hotel at this level and more than one guest called it out as too basic. Book it for the room size, the lounge, and the duck: on those three, nothing else in the CBD is close. Keep an eye on the bill at checkout and don't expect the spa to be a highlight, but the Manor Club and Country Kitchen alone are worth the rate.

Rosewood Castiglion del Bosco

Tuscany, Italy

Ask around about Tuscan estate hotels and Castiglion del Bosco comes up before anyone finishes the question. The reason is consistent across years of guests: golf staff who play holes with you and turn up at the villa with pizza that night, villa attendants who remember a family's order from a visit two years earlier, a restaurant team that has a highchair waiting at your usual table before you sit down. That's the pattern, repeated by strangers with no reason to coordinate their story. The restored medieval borgo itself, stacked stone above the Val d'Orcia, is the rare case where the photos undersell it, and the family programming (kids club, a Babbo Natale house at Christmas, in-room provisions for toddlers) is real luxury that doesn't quietly wish the children away. Price the two real catches in before you book. The spa and gym are undersized for what the estate charges, and the sauna and steam room need booking ahead or they're simply gone by the time you ask. More seriously, the €200-per-person fee for a missed dinner has genuinely angered guests, several of whom cite it as the one sour note in an otherwise flawless stay. Longtime guests who knew the property under the Ferragamo family also make a fair point: rates have climbed since Rosewood took over, and a few have shifted to Reschio or Como del Nero instead. Some travelers also find the whole place a little too polished, "westworld"-perfect rather than warm, and prefer Belmond's looser Chianti version. None of that changes the calculation for families or couples who want the countryside done at full five-star precision: this is still the one to book, book the villa if the budget allows, and just read the dinner policy twice.
