Our History

Standing proudly on Miami Beach’s iconic Collins Avenue since 1947, the Sherry Frontenac Oceanfront Hotel is a true landmark of post-war Miami glamour. Designed by renowned architect Henry Hohauser, the hotel embodies the transition from the city’s 1930s Art Deco style to the sleek, modern resort architecture that defined the golden age of Miami Beach.

The hotel’s distinctive twin nine-story towers—connected by a grand, three-story lobby—were inspired by the elegance of ocean liners, giving guests the feeling of being aboard a ship floating on the Atlantic. From its sweeping lobby, oceanfront pool and beachfront views, the Sherry Frontenac quickly became a favorite destination for travelers seeking both style and sunshine.

Over the decades, the Sherry Frontenac has preserved its mid-century charm while embracing modern comfort and hospitality. Today, it stands as one of Miami Beach’s most historic oceanfront hotels, recognized for its architectural significance and timeless allure.

Whether visiting for business or leisure, guests continue to experience the same authentic Miami Beach heritage that has defined the Sherry Frontenac for more than 75 years.
