Nestled grandly but discreetly behind a cape of lush trees is the elegant entrance to The Raleigh. From the first moment of pulling into this retreat by the sea, one feels welcome and taken care of - enveloped by uncompromising hospitality and service.
Art Deco appointments infuse the hotels 104 guest rooms and suites, most with ocean view. Tranquil and luxe, with period furnishings and terrazzo floors, The Raleigh's accommodations seamlessly meet the needs of todays most discriminating travelers, while providing healing respite from the heat of the day. Flat-screen plasma TVs, DVD players, wireless connectivity and Kiehl's bath amenities are just some of the luxury touches that abound.
Under the direction of Directeur de Cuisine Eric Ripert, whose Le Bernardin in New York City is considered one of the worlds finest restaurants, The Raleigh has achieved great acclaim for its splendid food. The beautiful and romantically appointed outdoor terrace is a South Beach favorite. Under a protective sweep of Seagrape trees, this elegant array of comfortable tables and cushioned banquettes is an idyllic spot to relish breakfast, lunch or dinner beneath a moonlit sky - and just steps away from the famed Raleigh pool.
Refurbished to its original Art Deco splendor, with the fabrics and flourishes of the fabulous 40s, the lobby is the ultimate place to rendezvous for relaxation, cocktails and conversation. The 24-hour Coffee Bar and Tabac is a house favorite for snacks, beverages or magazines. At once casual and chic, the lobby has become a gathering ground for visitors and Miami denizens alike.
Situated majestically in the heart of Miami's South Beach, The Raleigh is a masterpiece of Art Deco grandeur with a thoroughly modern sensibility. Sister hotel to Hollywood's famed Chateau Marmont and The Mercer in New York, this classic oceanfront property has undergone a thoughtful renovation by hotelier Andre Balazs.
