In the heart of Miami Beach’s historic Art Deco District lies the National Hotel, a sanctuary of understated luxury that beckons discerning travelers with a taste for timeless design, culinary innovation and exclusivity. This adults-only retreat combines the elegance of the art deco era with modern amenities and an array of experiences tailored to those seeking a refined yet approachable escape.
The hotel’s aesthetic pays homage to its storied past, featuring 101 designed guest rooms and 36 suites that blend period-inspired furnishings with contemporary comforts. The historic tower offers views of the city and ocean, while the poolside cabanas and suites provide a tropical oasis shaded by native palm trees. At the heart of the property lies Miami Beach’s longest infinity-edge pool — an emblem of the hotel’s commitment to blending tranquility with grandeur.
The focus of its culinary offerings is Mareva 1939, where Barcelona-born Executive Chef Sergio Chamizo reimagines Spanish cuisine with a contemporary flair. “Mareva 1939 offers a contemporary blend of tapas and authentic menu items paired with organic wines and craft cocktails,” Chamizo says.
Diners can explore a menu that showcases the best of Spanish flavors. Highlights include the black seafood paella, Iberico ham croquetas and the hearty oxtail, chickpea and potato paella.
Mareva 1939 also offers a curated selection of vermouth flights and espresso martinis and a range of Spanish wines such as Mencia and Ribeiro. Year round, guests can also indulge in wine tastings, special cheese pairings and events that celebrate Miami’s vibrant cultural scene.
With its blend of history, design and gastronomy, the National Hotel Miami Beach stands as a testament to the enduring allure of understated luxury.
