Located at 300 Biscayne Boulevard, the architecturally awe-inspiring Waldorf Astoria Hotel & Residences Miami will feature nine spiraling, offset glass cubes designed to be evenly stacked and wrapped in what can be referred to as a “glass skin,” distinguishing the property’s architecture from anything else on the East Coast. The tower’s concept design is led by Sieger Suarez Architects, in collaboration with renowned architect Carlos Ott, who worked in tandem to create an iconic structure in Downtown Miami offering 360-degree views of Downtown Miami, Miami Beach, and the Atlantic Ocean. The developers also partnered with award-winning interior design firm BAMO, which prides itself on creating captivating environments that flow, function, and make people feel welcome, at ease, and inspired to live and dream more fully.

We look forward to seeing this incredible building come to life and to be bringing the Waldorf Astoria to Miami.”
