What kind of NoBe hotel we are
We're a small hotel: 29 rooms and suites in a 1948 building at 7418 Harding Avenue, in North Beach, the part of Miami Beach people shorten to NoBe. The house has two floors around a courtyard. The ground floor opens onto the pool, and the upper level is reached by stairs only.
We don't have a restaurant, a ballroom or a crowd. We have a courtyard, a breakfast table, a gym with a sauna, a front desk that's staffed all night, and the ocean a few minutes east of our gate. This is the slower Miami.
Below is what we have, and what we don't, so you can decide before you book.
Our rooms
Felix designed each room himself, and every piece of furniture is custom. Mark Cherry's commissioned pieces hang on our walls, and the teak yacht deck pattern runs underfoot through the house. Everything here carries Felix's personal touch.
| Room | What you get |
|---|---|
| Nest Room | King bed, garden views |
| Elegance Room | King bed, views toward the garden or the pool |
| Signature Room | King bed and a Juliet balcony over the pool |
| Junior Suite | King bed plus a sofa bed |
| Atelier Suite | Separate bedroom and living room, pool views |
| Grand Luxe Suite | Our largest room: separate bedroom and living room, a king bed and a sofa bed for a third person |
| Elegance Suite, accessible | King bed, generous open space and an accessible walk-in shower |
If you want to look down at the water, book the Signature Room or the Atelier Suite. Travelling as three, the Junior Suite and the Grand Luxe Suite are the two with a sofa bed. If stairs are a concern, tell us when you book, since our upper level has no lift.
The courtyard pool
The courtyard is where the day really begins. Our pool sits at its centre, ringed in teak decking laid like a yacht's and shaded at the edges by native palms. It's open from sunrise to sunset, it's for our guests only (we don't sell day passes), and like the rest of the house it's 12 and up.
It's an intimate pool by resort standards, and that's deliberate. In a house this size you'll often have the water to yourself. We'd go at 8am, before the heat sets in. After sunset the swimming stops and the courtyard turns to low, warm light, which is when most of our guests come back down for a quiet hour outside.
Breakfast, the gym and the sauna
Breakfast is a self-serve continental spread at The Breakfast Table. We set out croissants and pastries in wicker baskets, oranges, apples, grapes and bananas on woven tiers, Greek yogurt and jams, cold-pressed juices on ice, glass jars of almonds and pistachios, lemon water and coffee. Fill a plate and carry it out to the courtyard or back to your room. Since we have no restaurant, lunch and dinner happen out in the neighbourhood, and we're glad to point you somewhere.
The Gym & Sauna is a quiet room of warm walls and linen curtains. You'll find weights, a Peloton bike and an infrared sauna. Like the pool, it's reserved for people staying with us.
The beach
We're not on the sand, and we don't pretend to be. Out our gate, the Atlantic is a few minutes' walk east, where it opens along Miami Beach Oceanside Park: a wide, unhurried stretch of public beach in North Beach. Sunbeds and umbrellas wait there for our guests, so you can walk over carrying almost nothing.
For a longer read on that stretch of sand, our quiet beach page covers it. When an afternoon turns into wandering, most of our guests head north toward Surfside and Bal Harbour; we've written a separate guide for each, linked at the bottom of this page.
Before you book
These are the house rules and costs we'd rather you knew now than at the desk.
- Check-in and check-out: check-in is after 4pm, check-out is at 11am. Arriving early? Tell us your arrival time and we'll do our best, based on availability.
- Age: we welcome guests aged 12 and up. Reservations for guests under 12 can't be honoured, and we don't provide cots.
- Pets: we ask that pets stay at home. Certified support animals are welcome.
- Payment: we're cash-free. We take all major credit cards and don't accept checks.
- Taxes and fees: rates are subject to a 14% tax and a $50 resort fee, both added to the nightly rate.
- Smoking: the house is 100% smoke-free, with a designated smoking area in front of the hotel.
- The desk: The Desk That Never Sleeps is staffed 24/7, so a late flight is not a problem. Only authorised people have access to the house.
- Getting here: we're about a 30-minute drive from Miami International Airport.
- Parking: contact our Reservations Department for current parking options and rates near the hotel.
- ID: bring a valid government-issued ID. We scan it at check-in.
North Beach still has its soul. If that's the Miami you came for, we'd be glad to have you.
