Miami, FL, 33139
 When the sun comes up with the suddenness of a tropical dawn, it rises over the Atlantic Ocean, over the cruise ships and tankers waiting on the horizon to enter the Port of Miami, and it shines most brilliantly on the Nation's only Art Deco District. The Essex House Hotel & Suites is endowed with a colorful history and an abundance of Art Deco detail. Designed by Henry Hohauser and built in 1938, the Essex House & Suites is said to be one of Hohauser's best designs. The hotel has been painted to bring out its Nautical Modern quality. Visitors must take note of the lobby's original polychrome mural of the Everglades which was restored by the original artist, Earl LaPan, 50 years after he originally painted the mural.
Allow the building and lobby interior to excite your palate for true Art Deco design, but they must confess to adding modern day luxuries to ensure your comfort. Their spacious guest rooms and adjoining tropical courtyard have received designer touches. Custom Deco designer furnishings throughout - russet upholstered club chairs, custom carpet and dramatic oval mahogany entertainment units with matching desks. All rooms are equipped with individual AC controls, ceiling fans, 21" color cable TV, direct dial phones, two phone lines, computer data port and telephone voice mail. Their sound-absorbing windows silence street noise or open to receive ocean breezes.. (Quiet is a rare luxury in SoBe's nightlife paradise.) All new marble baths. Same-day guest laundry service. For your comfort and safety, all rooms have electronic door locks, smoke detectors and sprinkler system. |
