The mid-century modern hotel features 363 guestrooms and 16 suites with a 1950s-inspired design that reflects Miami Beach's Golden Era, showcasing the creative talents of revered British interior designer Martin Brudnizki, and Miami's famed landscape architect Raymond Jungles. Guests enjoy quality dining experiences in unique settings, including the Southern-inspired Bird & Bone led by renowned Miami Chef Richard Hales, which launched previews late last month, and TALDE Miami Beach, a casual Asian-American restaurant and bar from 'Top Chef' alum, Chef Dale Talde. An eclectic hangout in a refreshed 1930s-era built bungalow, the new Nina's House serves up light bites, fresh-juice cocktails, and good times to the music of the 70s, 80s and 90s. Additional amenities include two heated swimming pools (one for adults only), private cabanas and bungalows, a full-service beach area, and lush tropical gardens.

The hotel's vibe is warm, welcoming, unpretentious - similar to a friend's beach house, which is akin to the meaning behind the name, The Confidante: a best friend, trusted insider.
