The Architecture

The W South Beach is a collusion of wide-ranging styles that reflect the multi-faceted environments found at this one-of-a-kind luxury resort and cultural destination. The Cubist building design is offset by diagonally-stacked terraces that appear to emulate the ebb and flow of the ocean waves. This innovative Cubist-water construct is mirrored in the stunning 116-foot raised Wet Pool with a waterfall edge, while the Provence-inspired garden features whimsical birdcages set against palmettos, apple trees, and sea grapes. Inside, the lounge spaces showcase futuristic lighting and chic, comfortable seating as well as 1970's retro funk designs that provide a twist of old-school elegance. A museum-quality collection of awe-inspiring art from such masters as Jean-Michel Basquiat and Andy Warhol offers residents a one-of-a-kind experience meant to expand and uplift the mind.
