Collins Park, Miami Beach

The Collins Park Neighborhood in Miami Beach sits on the north eastern point of the South Beach Historic District. Its boundaries are 17th street to the south, 25th Street to the north, the Atlantic Ocean to the east and Washington Avenue, Dade County Boulevard and Pinetree Drive to the west.The neighborhood is widely recognized as the cultural center of Miami Beach, hosting such institutions as The Bass Museum of Art, The Miami City Ballet, The SoBe Music Institute, The Holocaust Memorial, the Miami Design and Preservation League and most recently has seen the creation of the CANDO Art's Co-op. Due to the neighborhoods parks and relative proximity to the Miami Beach Convention Center, Collins Park is also a natural flow over for Art Basel Miami events and satellite exhibitions such as Design Miami.Even though the neighborhood is located within the heart of the city, development of Collins Park has lagged behind the South Beach area just south. Private efforts in the late 1990s to redevelop the neighborhood met with resistance from the City of Miami Beach as expansions were planned for the Bass Museum and the ballet. In the early 2000s another neighborhood revitalization effort was made by private developers – most notably Ken Fields (The Creek South Beach), Alessandro Ferretti (Articity), The W Condo-Hotel and The Gansevoort/Perry.The neighborhood which has become a major thoroughfare for traffic coming in to the beach from the mainland was to have a parking garage designed by Zaha Hadid, however when the costs were almost double the allocated budget, the City voted against the project.

Greystone Miami Beach
Greystone Miami Beach

Greystone Miami Beach, in Miami Beach, Florida, is an Art Deco-style hotel built in 1939. It has also been known as the Greystone Hotel or as The Greystone. It was "designed by renowned architect Henry Hohauser, who was given the title of “Great Floridian” by Florida's Department of State in 1993 for his major contribution to the distinct Art Deco architectural scene present throughout the region." It is located in Miami Beach's Art Deco district, and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979 as a contributing building in the Miami Beach Architectural District.In the 1979 nomination of that district, the Greystone was characterised as being Decorative Moderne in style. The nomination noted that "the Greystone Hotel is in beautiful condition. On the west side of Collins Avenue, it is most noticeable, located on the corner of 19th Street. The main entrance features a pair of round windows etched with tropical scenes. The almost square facade is divided into thirds, with the central section ornamented with vertical stripes and a stepped, three-stage parapet. The horizontal flanking portions of the facade are decorated with bands of 'tattersall check' between the ribbon windows at the curved corners. It is the detail of this building, the round windows, the flagstaffs on the parapet, and the incised squares in the stucco, that make this building so charming."It was a member of the Historic Hotels of America in 2020, but is no longer a member in 2022.It was under renovation in 2019.In 2022 Architectural Digest termed the hotel an "architectural gem", "one of architect Henry Hohauser's iconic hotels", and one of "eight iconic buildings throughout the city that have been renovated to showcase their historic value through a 21st-century lens." It noted the reopening of the hotel as "Hotel Greystone" in September 2021, and stated that Holly Muhl of Bowenholly, "who led the interior design, said, 'Our goal was to create something stylish and comfortable that evokes the dynamic layers of Miami Beach. The building offers so many opportunities for a sophisticated audience depending on your mood, and we wanted every space to give guests a welcome and authentic sense of place.' Its signature restaurant, Sérêvène, serves up fare using Japanese ingredients and French techniques; its neighboring Greystone Jazz Bar presents a sing-along piano bar by candlelight."In 2021, partners who owned the hotel were in litigation with each other; a lawsuit was dismissed in January 2022 however.
