Miami Beach is witnessing the rebirth of a legend. The Raleigh, an iconic Art Deco gem since 1949, is set to become the city's most exquisite resort and residential retreat.
This transformation, led by visionary designer Peter Marino and developer Michael Shvo, promises to blend historic charm with modern luxury, reinventing a place that has hosted celebrities and cultural events, including the memorable 2009 Chanel fashion show.
The project, slated for completion in 2026, encompasses an impressive 215 linear feet of oceanfront property. It includes the revitalization of the Raleigh and Richmond Hotels into a new Rosewood Hotel and the transformation of the South Seas Hotel into a Michelin-caliber restaurant. A ground-up, Rosewood-branded condominium tower and an exclusive Beach Club, operated by the famous Italian resaturant Langosteria, will add to the allure.
Located at 1775 Collins Avenue, this over three-acre estate boasts a total building size of 313,000 square feet. The development's height reaches 175 feet with 17 stories, offering 40 luxurious residences and 60 hotel suites. Pricing for the three-bedroom residences starts at $10 million, with unit sizes ranging from 2,176 to 7,810 square feet. The penthouses are particularly exceptional, offering four to seven bedrooms and up to 13,218 square feet of interior space, plus expansive terraces with asking price starting at $150 million.
Residents will be treated to two exclusive lobbies designed by Peter Marino, featuring collector art and meticulously curated furnishings. Amenities include a double-height fitness center, four distinct pools, including the iconic fleur-de-lis shaped pool, and access to a members-only Beach Club with gourmet dining. The reimagined Martini Bar and elevated oceanfront dining experiences will ensure that The Raleigh remains a culinary destination.
The project's commitment to quality extends to its team. SHVO's ownership is supported by the architectural expertise of Lawrence Murray Dixon, who originally designed The Raleigh, Richmond, and South Seas in the 1940s, and Peter Marino Architect for the 2026 revival. Kobi Karp Architecture & Interior Design Inc. serves as the Architect of Record. Rosewood Hotels & Resorts will manage the hospitality aspects, while Enzo Enea Landscape Architect and L’Observatoire International oversee landscape and lighting design, respectively.
Developer Michael Shvo has tapped Oren and Tal Alexander's Official to lead sales of the planned Rosewood Residences at the Raleigh in Miami Beach. This strategic move adds another layer of expertise to the project, harnessing the Alexanders' renowned real estate acumen to ensure the success of this highly anticipated development.

New Year’s Eve can be an expensive affair if you plan on traveling—even, as it turns out, if you plan on doing a staycation stateside. In a recent study conducted by TravelMag.com, New Orleans was found to be the priciest city in the world to book a hotel room on New Year’s Eve.
Naturally on a flight to paradise I wouldn't want anything less than a seamless and relaxing travel experience — and thankfully, that's exactly what JSX is offering on its new flight to the Bahamas.
The Hollywood Sign, a world-renowned tourist attraction, reached its 100th anniversary this month. Destination marketers everywhere can be inspired by how the landmark evolved from a generic real-estate ad in December 1923 to the quintessential symbol of Los Angeles.
The 21st edition of Art Basel Miami Beach is now in the books – a whirlwind week of parties, dinners, DJ sets, brand collaborations, product launches, restaurant openings and, fortunately, great weather. But at the center of it all, of course, was the art – presented in every form all throughout the Magic City.

Miami and Orlando are the two most visited cities in Florida. Miami is nicknamed the Magic City and known for its white-sand beaches, pastel-hued tropical Art Deco architecture, dynamic nightlife, and Latin vibes. Orlando is home to the Magic Kingdom and the world’s most famous mouse. Until recently, out-of-towners who wanted to experience both sides of the Sunshine State either had to hop a flight between Orlando and Miami and then take a taxi or ride-share to their destination or rent a car, navigate the oft-congested interstate, and endure the hassle of finding (usually pricey) parking during what’s supposed to be a relaxing vacation.
Travelers who live in South Florida rarely take for granted the warm weather and world-class restaurants available in the region, but enjoying that means sometimes it’s easy to forget how close Miami is to some of the most exciting destinations in the world. While people in the rest of America needs extended vacation time to visit countries like Dominica and Ecuador, Miamians can wake up, jump on a direct flight from Miami, and be in a new country in time for dinner (or maybe even lunch). And if someone in Miami gets a hankering to head to Europe, most of the continent is only an overnight flight away.
For many travelers, a Florida vacation means one of two things: white-sand beaches or Mickey Mouse. But if you drive north of many of Florida’s most famous coastal resorts, and continue on past Disney World, you’ll find Ocala, where streets are lined with majestic oak trees draped in Spanish moss, and rolling farmlands are edged with gleaming white ranch rail fencing. Everywhere you look, there are reminders of the area’s biggest business: horses.
