History
1 Hotel South Beach opened in 2015 as a major reuse of the former Roney Palace on Collins Avenue, bringing the 600-foot beachfront property into the 1 Hotels brand. The hotel is known for its sustainability-forward design language, extensive use of reclaimed and repurposed materials, and a beachfront setting on South Beach. Its public-facing brand materials emphasize a wellness-and-nature positioning, with Bamford Wellness Spa, beach access, and multiple dining venues. Recent 1 Hotels press coverage also notes the property’s continued recognition in Miami Beach and a 2025 World Travel Awards honor for North America’s Leading Beach Resort.
The setting
1 Hotel South Beach occupies the oceanfront footprint of the legendary Roney Plaza at 2341 Collins Avenue — the 1926 resort designed by Schultze and Weaver, the same firm responsible for the Waldorf-Astoria in New York, and one of Miami Beach's first grand beachfront hotels. The address sits within the South Beach Art Deco Historic District, the largest concentration of protected 1920s–1940s architecture in the world. The Bass contemporary art museum is a six-minute walk; the Miami Beach Botanical Garden is fifteen minutes on foot; and a cluster of landmark properties along the same Collins Avenue corridor confirms this block's status as South Beach's most celebrated luxury address.
