The 49-story tower has 646 rooms that combine hotel and residences, ranging from studios to 3-bedroom suites, offering panoramic views of the magnetic Biscayne Bay and surrounding areas. A destination within itself, The Elser provides its guests with a robust list of programming, including personal training in the two-story, 10,200-square-foot state-of-the-art fitness center and weekend entertainment on the 19,000-square-foot sun deck, which includes eight electric grills, a pool deck, bar, an outdoor plunge pool on the 10th floor and an expansive event lawn that serves as the ultimate destination for outdoor celebrations with unparalleled waterfront views.
