EDITION Miami Beach

Located at 2901 Collins Avenue, on the grounds of the former Seville Hotel, the EDITION Miami Beach is comprised of three intricately linked structures. The property includes a 294-luxury hotel situated within the original 1950’s tower, with 25 new luxury residences on the top floors of the hotel; an adjacent, newly built 18-story glass clad condominium tower; and a curved five-story building that houses 28 bungalow hotel suites and several amenities. Thoughtfully designed, Nichols Architects paid homage to the historic elements of the property, while adding contemporary touches and whimsical details to restore and refresh the mid-century modern condo/hotel.
Nichols Architects served as the architect for the entire project,
The five-star Miami Beach EDITION is a concept envisioned by hospitality experts Ian Schrager and Marriott International. Nichols Architects served as the architects for the entire project and worked closely with an all-star team to execute the project: general contractor Coastal Construction, hotel interior designer Yabu Pushelberg, interior designer of the residences John Pawson Limited, and landscape design companies Madison Cox and EDSA.
Before the Miami Beach EDITION opened, 2901 Collins Ave was home to the historic 1955 Seville Hotel and, before that, the 1925 Pancoast Hotel. Discover the rich history behind this iconic location.
“Architecture must reflect its environment and context, while paying respect to the history of its surroundings. We drew inspiration from the 1955 property’s original architect, Melvin Grossman, in order to rekindle the spirit of this iconic building, while infusing it with textures and finishes for the 21st century and beyond.”
The project continues Nichols Architects' legacy of blending old and new, as seen in their restoration of iconic landmarks like the Morris Lapidus-designed Fontainebleau, Eden Roc, Loews/St. Moritz, and DiLido (now Ritz-Carlton, South Beach). Through thoughtful design and meticulous attention to detail, Nichols Architects have crafted a space that honors the past while embracing the future.
The new tower is intentionaly hyper reflective in order not to compete with the historical elements of the existing Seville Hotel. The extruded cube pure form is only modified by the carved balconies at the upper Residential floors.
