1675-3 Raleigh Hotel 1775 COLLINS AVENUE PHONE 305 534 6300 MIAMI BEACH FL 33139 TELEFAX 305 538 3140 THE RALEIGH ON THE OCEAN Owner André Balazs Directeur des Cuisines Eric Ripert(of Le Bernadin) Design The Raleigh was built and designed in 1940 by the famed architect Lawrence Murray Dixon, one of the most prolific and acclaimed architects of South Beach's historic Art Deco District. Dixon applied an understated elegance with Art Deco grandeur to the property, which represented an architectural significance during the formative years of Miami Beach. The Raleigh's impressive interiors, landscaped lagoon pool-heralded as a "jewel" of modernist design-and commanding facade, bestowed the hotel a strong oceanfront identity. Guest rooms are adorned with the fabrics and style of the 1940's period, featuring period furnishings, terrazzo floors and cedar wood closets. Location The Raleigh is located in the heart of South Miami Beach, on 18th Street and Collins Avenue, 30 minutes from Miami International Airport. Situated on a corner, the property has frontage both on Collins and the ocean, providing guests exceptional access to the beach and affording two thirds of guest rooms ocean views.

Designed by Art Deco architect L. Murray Dixon, the hotel opened in 1940 with one of the largest private gardens on the beach and a pool widely hailed as "the most beautiful in Florida" (Life Magazine); "one of the ten most beautiful in the world" (Travel & Leisure). Untouched and unattainable for decades, The Raleigh was recently purchased by hotelier André Balazs and joins his family of unique hotels and restaurants, including The Mercer in New York and the Chateau Marmont in Hollywood. One of the most successful and widely imitated hoteliers in the country, Mr. Balazs is known for creating hotels singular in their atmosphere, authenticity and attention to detail. "It's a rare hotel that combines a storied past with such --may I say --fine bones," said Mr. Balazs, of the 120 rooms, suites and cabanas which featured as a backdrop for numerous Esther Williams' films. Renovation of the property has been extensive but sensitive and gradual, similar to the approach used in the restoration and re-positioning of the legendary Chateau Marmont. RALEIGHHOTEL.COM
