#862 The Story of Miami Beaches' Hotels by Howard Kleinberg Dec. 2005 Page 10f12 Hatfield, Liliam From: HKMiami@aol.com Sent: Tuesday, December 06, 20057:17 PM To: Hatfield, Liliam Subject: Hotel openings As promised, here is my compiled list of Miami Beach hotel openings. I hope you can put it in the city files. The list also will appear in my book but I thought an electronic insert would make it easy for you. Thanks for your help. Howard Kleinberg HOTEL OPENINGS (This list is not complete but it is, by far, the most detailed record of Miami Beach hotel openings compiled to date. Some dates are official openings, some may be architect drawing dates, some may be based on building cards filed with the City of Miami Beach and are listings of completion dates for various building inspections. At the end of the compilation is a listing of hotels and addresses as they appeared in early city directories. Many of the hotel names may have been changed and where it is known, both names are shown. Also, where exact dates of hotel openings are known, they are so shown in parentheses. Where buildings have been demolished and those dates known, they also are listed parenthetically with the letter "d" in front of it.) 1915 Browns/Atlantic Beach/Star, 106 Ocean Drive (under construction) 1917 Lincoln Apts. and Hotel, 414 Lincoln Road (d5/40) Sea View, Thirteenth and Collins Avenue Breakers, Twenty-fourth and Collins Avenue 1918 Calvert, 150 Ocean Drive 1920 Leonard, 54 Ocean Drive Flamingo, Bay at Fifteenth Street (12/31/20) 1921 Garden, 302 Euclid Avenue Marevista, 200 Ocean Drive 12/7/2005 Page 20f12 Crown, 404 Washington Avenue Wofford/Wofford Beach, 2400 Collins Avenue (10/29/21) Nemo, 116 Collins Avenue 1922 Variety, 1700 Alton Road 1923 Sea Breeze, 1205-07 Collins Avenue Harlin, 401 Collins Avenue Carol Arms, 4130 Collins Avenue Madrid, 427 Collins Avenue Collins Avenue, 601 Collins Avenue Marlborough/Mayflower, 1702 Alton Road (1/12/23) 1924 PancoasVGrossinger, 2901 Collins Avenue (1/5/24) (d4/55) Miami Beach Hotel, 520 Ocean Drive Hampton Court, 2806 Collins Avenue Nautilus, 4300 Alton Road (1/10/24) (d3/68) Gotham Hotel, 702 Thirteenth Street Penn Apartment-Hotel, 942 Pennsylvania Avenue Royal Palm/Waldorf, 816 Commerce Street 1925 King Cole, 6845 Bay Drive (d7/61) Leonard, 54 Ocean Drive Floridian/Biscaya, 540 West Avenue (d3/87) Biscayne Collins Avenue, 135 Biscayne St. Ambassador, 227 Michigan Avenue Boulevard, 755 Dade Boulevard Ocean Drive Breeze, 821 First Street.
