Designer Todd Oldham has redesigned the Hotel of South Beach in Miami Beach. Originally designed as the Tiffany by architect L. Murray Dixon in 1939, the hotel is listed on the National Register of Historic sites. Oldham had originally revised the building in 1998 but was lured back to design a 20-room addition to the hotel and its garden restaurant Wish.
Replicating many of his original signature details from the hotel, the Todd Oldham redesign of the Hotel of South Beach includes daybeds that do triple duty as window seats, and storage and bathing areas designed to reflect sunset in Miami.
