Subversive design touches, theatrical interiors, and unexpected indulgences bring a modern sense of baroque to Miami.

A grand port-cochère leading to a marble-laden, high-ceilinged, mirrored lobby with a dramatic geometric chandelier hanging from above - SLS Lux Brickell is the Met Gala of hotels. Housed inside a glassy new tower, it’s developed in partnership with Pérez Art Museum Miami and houses private collector-worthy contemporary art. A bronze Fernando Botero sculpture stands near the entrance and drawings by Salvador Dalí line the hallway towards the spa.

Unexpected indulgences abound in the rooms. Look out for the playful XOXO patterns along the wallpaper - SLS always delivers luxury with a mischievous wink.
