W South Beach Hotel

Venue information

W South Beach Hotel

W South Beach was an oceanfront hotel at 2201 Collins Avenue in Miami Beach, best known for its pool scene on the WET Deck, private cabanas and poolside service from WET Bar and Grille, which delivered food and cocktails straight to your lounger or cabana.

The hotel closed on August 20, 2026 for a full renovation. It is being converted into the Waldorf Astoria Miami Beach, the brand's first hotel in the market, under Hilton, with a reopening targeted for winter 2027. The work covers the 348 oceanfront suites, the lobby, dining venues, spa, fitness centre and event spaces, and a redesigned pool deck of about 48,000 square feet with private cabanas.

Plans filed with the city describe a new lobby lounge called Peacock Alley, a new beach restaurant, a members only lounge in place of the former nightclub, and a new steakhouse in the space once occupied by Mr. Chow, which closed in June 2026. Under the filed plans, the pool deck and pool bar would be open from 10am to 10pm, with access limited to registered hotel guests and members.

There are no pool parties or day passes here while the property is closed. We will update this page when the Waldorf Astoria Miami Beach announces its opening date and pool details.
