The Gabriel South Beach, Curio Collection by Hilton, a new lifestyle hotel on Ocean Drive, Miami Beach, is set to open this fall. The 132-room hotel is sister property to The Gabriel Miami, Curio Collection by Hilton situated in downtown Miami.
The Gabriel South Beach comprises four buildings, including the historic Park Central Hotel, Heathcote Apartments and the Imperial Hotel. The lobby spans two floors and displays a collection of historic photography from the 1940s and 1950s, some of which includes vintage imagery of the hotel itself.
The lobby is also home to the hotel’s signature restaurant, Meet Dalia. Led by INK Entertainment’s Charles Kabouth, Danny Soberano and Ricardo Tabet, Meet Dalia is an indoor-outdoor Mediterranean restaurant with a menu by Patrick Ochs, the executive corporate chef. The restaurant has an open kitchen. Menu highlights include shellfish offerings from the raw bar, Mediterranean salads and an assortment of mezze plates served with wood-fired pita bread. There is also a selection of wines, in addition to a menu of specialty drinks served from the Art Deco bar. The Gabriel South Beach will be opening a second restaurant, Meet Mia, later this year. The eatery will serve Italian cuisine with a contemporary twist, besides a selection of wines and craft cocktails.
The guestrooms and suites have Eric Brand light-wash rattan and fabric headboards, oak wood and white lacquer armoires, custom chaises, marble and wooden side tables, and vintage floor and wall lamps. The Balcony Suites offer views of Ocean Drive and the Atlantic Ocean. Pretty cool: There is also a rooftop sun deck with a glass-bottom pool, which overlooks the Atlantic coastline and will be home to a satellite bar exclusive to guests staying in the 12 suites. The space will be available for events for up to 100 guests.
Guests at the The Gabriel South Beach will also find a 30-foot-tall mural by the French-born, Los Angeles-based street artist Mr. Brainwash, known for his large-scale installations and prints of celebrities like Madonna, Kate Moss and Marilyn Monroe and his practice of subverting cultural iconography similar to Andy Warhol and Banksy.
To support local businesses, the hotel offers a range of amenities, in addition to a week-long programming, where guests can immerse themselves in the Miami experience.
