ABSTRACT
The Art Deco building that is now the Hotel Greystone in Miami Beach, Florida was originally designed by Henry Hohauser in 1939., and is located just one block from Collins Park, one block from the Atlantic Ocean, and two blocks from the Miami Beach convention center. The building's original architectural features, including a vertical marquee sign with ziggurat stepped roofline and porthole windows, contrasting horizontal banding, and fluted elements integrated with the rounded corner windows, have been carefully preserved by Shulman + Associates. The hotel, combined with the existing neighboring building, forms a new resort campus that includes the renovated bright and airy lobby and wrap-around covered exterior corner terrace, as well as new elements like the ground floor restaurant, mezzanine level jazz bar lounge, bright rooftop pool bar. The guest room interiors introduce a more neutral soothing palette and a shady two-story courtyard offers a quiet outdoor space for resting between venues.
