Hotels opening in Miami and Miami Beach in 2027: the watchlist

Last reviewed: November 8, 2026. Sources for this page are listed in its fact sheet.

Short answer first. Five openings carry a 2027 date from the brand itself or the Greater Miami Convention and Visitors Bureau: the Grand Hyatt by the convention center in November, the Shore Club's return as an Auberge, the Waldorf Astoria taking over the closed W, a new Hilton built from five historic buildings on Park Avenue, and the James flag landing on the Nautilus. Two famous names sit in separate sections below because their own companies will not confirm a 2027 date: Aman, whose bureau listing says 2027 while Aman itself now says 2028, and Rosewood's Raleigh, which Rosewood labels a future opening with no date at all. This page runs on one rule: no opening month appears without a brand or bureau source behind it, and a date in dispute is printed as a dispute. Checked November 8, 2026, and refreshed as announcements land.

Already open: start with Delano

The comeback that was supposed to anchor this list already happened. Delano Miami Beach reopened in 2026 after a six year closure, with 171 guestrooms and suites in Ennismore's words at the June 2026 reopening. It belongs in your booking search today, not on a watchlist, and its page carries the room, pool, and beach rundown. Everything below is for trips the current inventory cannot yet serve, or for readers who plan a year out and want to know what the Collins Avenue map looks like when they return.

Grand Hyatt Miami Beach: the convention center hotel, November 2027

The largest opening of the year is a group and convention play: 800 guestrooms at 1701 Convention Center Drive, opening November 2027 per the visitors bureau listing, with a skybridge into the Miami Beach Convention Center. The city's own topping-off release in July 2026 calls it the 800 room headquarter hotel and puts the opening in late 2027. For Art Basel, Boat Show, and convention weeks, this is the addition that changes the room count math on the Beach. Until it opens, the hotels near the convention center carry that traffic.

The Shore Club returns as an Auberge: 73 rooms, 2027

At the small end of the scale, the Shore Club at 1901 Collins Avenue reopens in 2027 as an Auberge Resorts Collection property with 73 rooms and suites, including a penthouse, per Auberge's announcement. That room count dates from the 2024 announcement and Auberge's current page prints no count, so treat 73 as the announced plan rather than a finished inventory. The pattern is the point: a big-box address returning as a small, high-rate house. Pricing will land when Auberge opens the booking path, and not a day before, whatever a roundup estimates.

Waldorf Astoria Miami Beach: the W, relaunched in winter 2027

The W South Beach at 2201 Collins Avenue is closed. Hilton and the property's owners announced in July 2026 that the hotel relaunches in winter 2027 as Waldorf Astoria Miami Beach, with 348 suites, and local reporting puts the W's last operating days in August 2026, closing August 20. Do not book the W for any 2027 date, and treat any listing still selling it as stale inventory. Our W South Beach guide now leads with the closure status and reads as the reference for what the Waldorf inherits: the Collins Avenue position, the balconies, and the beach. The new flag's own booking path opens closer to the relaunch.

Hilton Miami Beach: 289 rooms built from five historic buildings, early 2027

The newest entry on this list arrived on November 6, 2026, two days before this page was checked. Hilton announced a 289 room hotel at 2000 Park Avenue, anticipated in early 2027, uniting five historic Art Deco and Miami Modern buildings dated 1938 to 1953 in the Museum Historic District, with three pools. It is a full-service Hilton flag, a different product from the luxury launches around it, and for many 2027 trips it will be the practical one: new rooms, a Mid-Beach Park Avenue position, and a rate ladder below the Collins Avenue trophy row. An earlier financing story had this project opening in May 2026; the November release supersedes it, and only the early 2027 date is printed here.

The James Nautilus: a flag swap at 1825 Collins, by early 2027

The Nautilus Sonesta at 1825 Collins Avenue debuts by early 2027 as The James Nautilus Miami Beach, with 250 redesigned guestrooms inside a $50 million transformation, per the visitors bureau listing. Flag swaps are the softest openings on any watchlist, since the building never closes for long and the changes land in stages. If you are quoted a Nautilus rate for early 2027, the room you get may be pre or post redesign depending on the floor. Ask the hotel which, in writing, before you pay a redesigned-room price.

The disputed date: Aman Miami Beach

Aman is restoring the Versailles building at 3425 Collins Avenue in the Faena District, and that much every source agrees on. The date is where the record splits. The visitors bureau's new hotels page, updated in May 2026, says the property is slated for completion in 2027. Aman's own leadership page, read on November 8, 2026, lists Aman Miami Beach as 2028, twice. When the brand and the bureau disagree, the brand's date is the safer plan, and this page carries the opening as 2028 until Aman says otherwise in its own channels. Aman publishes no room count, and the counts in trade coverage disagree with each other, so no count is printed here. Readers planning a 2027 Faena District trip should book the Faena or the Setai and let Aman be a pleasant surprise if it lands early.

No date announced: Rosewood's Raleigh

Rosewood's own site labels The Raleigh, at 1775 Collins Avenue, a future opening, describes a 60 room and suite property beside a residences tower of 44 homes, and prints no opening date. Earlier coverage guessed at 2026 and then 2027 returns. Guesses are not dates, so the Raleigh sits in this section until Rosewood publishes one. The same discipline applies to any name that appears in a rendering before it appears in a brand channel: renders are marketing, dates are facts, and this watchlist trades in facts.

What to book for a 2027 trip today

A watchlist does not hold a room. For a 2027 trip booked now, the bookable luxury row is the one already open: Faena, the Setai, the Bal Harbour pair, and the reopened Delano, all reachable through the luxury hotels guide or directly through Miami luxury hotels on Expedia. Book a refundable rate on a hotel that exists, then move the reservation if a watchlist opening lands on your dates with a rate you like. That order, bookable first and watchlist second, is the whole strategy. The reverse order is how trips end up in a construction site.

Frequently asked questions

Can I book any of the 2027 hotels now?
Not through their own channels until each opens its booking path, which usually happens a few months before opening. Book a refundable rate at an open hotel and move it if your dates line up.

Why is Aman listed with two different years?
Because its two best sources disagree. The visitors bureau says 2027 and Aman itself says 2028. This page prints both, credits each, and plans on the later one.

Is the W South Beach open for Art Basel 2026?
No. It closed in August 2026 and returns as the Waldorf Astoria in winter 2027. Any W rate on sale for this December is stale inventory.
