History
Dua Miami, an Autograph Collection hotel at 1300 South Miami Avenue in Brickell, occupies the lower floors of a modern glass tower designed by Arquitectonica. The property opened around 2016 as the SLS Brickell (also referenced as SLS LUX Brickell) inside the new-build skyscraper, which also contains condominium residences.
The Albanian Kastrati Group acquired the property in late 2023 and relaunched it in mid-2024 as Dua Miami, 'Dua' meaning 'to want' or 'to love' in Albanian. The 124-room hotel retained much of its original design, with guest rooms shaped by Philippe Starck's style and an art-filled interior spanning historic to contemporary works.
The setting
Dua Miami stands on Brickell in Brickell, Miami. Brickell is Miami's downtown in a suit that still goes out: glass towers, the bay, and a night that starts at a rooftop and ends on the riverwalk. It is not South Beach. 6-minute walk to Shops at Mary Brickell Village. 8 miles from Miami International Airport.
