The James Nautilus Miami Beach makes its highly anticipated debut later this year as the flagship property of The James Hotels, a reimagined lifestyle hospitality brand from Sonesta International Hotels. The brand is inspired by the spirit of James, a charismatic host known for effortless charm, impeccable taste and a knack for bringing people together. Endlessly curious and in the know, James delivers guests culture and The James Nautilus Miami Beach pays homage to the legacy of the original Nautilus Hotel, the iconic Morris Lapidus-designed oceanfront property opened in the early 1950s.

“The James Nautilus® represents both a new chapter and a thoughtful tribute to one of Miami Beach’s most iconic addresses,” said Carlos Garcia, general manager, The James Nautilus Miami Beach. “As Collins Avenue enters a renaissance, the property will stand out as a gathering place for both visitors and locals seeking a more intimate and elevated Miami Beach experience.”
On Collins Avenue, the 250-room property has been brought to life by the team at Anderson Miller, thoughtfully honoring the historical legacy and signature design of Lapidus, known as The Architect of Joy.

Through a partnership with LDV Hospitality, The James Nautilus Miami Beach will house food and beverage outlets conceptualized by the hospitality group behind New York City dining destinations including Scarpetta, American Cut and Barlume. Guests can look forward to a relaxed signature restaurant with Mediterranean-style fare and alfresco seating, a refined omakase offering and a theatrical late-night lounge for cocktails.
A Downtown Miami property is also set to open in 2030.
