One of Miami Beach’s historic oceanfront hotels is making a comeback after a $100 million renovation that blends modern updates with restored original details. The Shelborne, located at 1801 Collins Ave., is now accepting stay reservations starting May 1, 2025.

Originally built 85 years ago, the hotel was an early example of the Miami Modernism (MiMo) style of the 1950s. Following the renovation, it features 251 rooms—down from 275—with warm, earthy tones, ceramic sconces, handcrafted ceramics, and limestone flooring.

The Shelborne’s revival is part of a larger wave of luxury hotel renovations along Miami Beach’s iconic Collins Avenue at a time when new hotel construction in the area has slowed over the past two years.
