The Shelborne By Proper

The Shelborne Hotel first opened its doors in 1941 as a luxurious Miami Beach retreat, designed by architects Igor Polevitzky and Thomas Triplett Russell. An embodiment of Miami’s Art Deco elegance, the hotel was updated in the 1950s by architect Morris Lapidus, who added the pool, cabanas, and additional guest rooms while blending the original design with Miami Modernism (MiMo) influences. Over the years, The Shelborne became a beacon of Miami Beach glamour, hosting legendary guests such as Frank Sinatra, Marilyn Monroe, and The Beatles. Following a $100 million renovation in 2024, The Shelborne now merges its rich architectural legacy with refined modern luxuries, ushering in a new chapter for this iconic destination. Located on the ocean at 18th Street, The Shelborne By Proper stands at the heart of Miami Beach’s cultural crossroads. Situated along the iconic stretch of Collins Avenue, where the city’s legacy of boutique hotels and vibrant nightlife began, The Shelborne blends timeless glamour with modern sophistication. Thoughtfully reimagined for a new era, this landmark property invites guests to experience Miami Beach’s distinctive allure in a setting that celebrates its storied history. Opening in May 2025, The Shelborne By Proper delivers elevated design, exceptional amenities, and an unmistakable connection to local culture. The Shelborne By Proper’s food and beverage program, crafted in collaboration with the acclaimed Lowder-Tascarella team, celebrates the vibrant flavors of Latin America and the Caribbean.
