New hotels in Miami Design District

The Miami Design District trades murals and nightlife for design showrooms, flagship fashion stores and gallery-grade public art — a slower, more upscale pace built around shopping and dining rather than the beach. The Hotel at The Moore, open since October 2024, is the one hotel we track already open here; Anantara Miami Resort & Residences, planned on the bay at the district's edge, is confirmed for 2030.

What to do in the Design District

For a weekend

Walk the district's showroom blocks and public art in the morning, then spend the afternoon at The Hotel at The Moore's building itself — the 1921 Moore Building houses a gallery, a restaurant and Zaha Hadid's Elastika sculptural installation alongside the hotel's 13 suites. Wynwood's mural district is a short walk or drive south for a contrasting evening.

For a longer stay

With more time, the district's Art Basel Miami Beach-season programming is worth timing a trip around, and Wynwood and Downtown Miami are both a short rideshare away.

Where to stay in the Design District

The Moore Building

The Hotel at The Moore opened on October 14, 2024, a 13-suite property occupying the fourth floor of the 1921 Moore Building at 4040 NE 2nd Avenue, developed and operated by WoodHouse — reachable only through a private members'-club floor, two floors above the club and three above the Elastika installation.

The Biscayne Bay edge

Anantara Miami Resort & Residences, targeting 2030, is planned at the convergence of the Design District, Edgewater and Wynwood, a 650-foot tower on Biscayne Bay that Minor Hotels says will be the area's first with uninterrupted bay views — Anantara's first US property, combining 50 hotel suites with resort and branded residences.

Which hotel in the Design District for your trip

Design-world & Art Basel travelers

The Hotel at The Moore's 13 suites inside a landmark 1921 building, with access to a private members' club and Zaha Hadid's Elastika, suit a design-focused or Art Basel Miami Beach trip more than a resort stay.

Travelers waiting on the district's next opening

Anantara Miami Resort & Residences, targeting 2030 on Biscayne Bay, will bring Minor Hotels' brand to the US for the first time once it opens.
