Location
In the heart of South Beach, where days lazily stretch and nights never seem to end, lies an enclave of charm: Esme. Perfectly positioned on Española Way, this gem sits between Collins Avenue and Pennsylvania Avenue, evoking the picture-perfect allure of Mediterranean hamlets.
Rewind to 1927, and this locale was fondly dubbed the 'Spanish Village', birthed as a sanctuary for artists. Today, the plaza is alive with eclectic galleries, chic eateries, bespoke boutiques, and buzzing bars.
Design
Esme exists as a 'Village' of eight distinct structures—a nod to the plaza's original blueprint. Woven together by Spanish paseos, these pathways invite guests on a culinary exploration of the hotel's diverse offerings.
Amongst them stands Casa Matanza, a singular edifice boasting two expansive suites. The interiors are a spellbinding creation by New York's Jessica Schuster, who strikes a delicate balance between opulence and cozy warmth. Celebrated for her deft interplay of hues and textures, Schuster has melded jewel tones and bespoke furnishings, anchoring them in Mediterranean roots, yet echoing the Miami sensibility.
Rooms
Across the Village, including the elegant Casa Matanza, Esme boasts 145 meticulously crafted rooms.
No matter your choice of abode, every nook resonates with deliberate luxury—details begging to be admired.
From bespoke finishes to in-room tablets, the embrace of plush Bellino linens, and the indulgence of Grown Alchemist toiletries, each element harmoniously contributes to all that defines Esme.
Food & Drink
Esme is a gastronomic haven, presenting five culinary experiences crafted under the watchful eyes of Chef Fabian DiPalo and Lost Boy & Co's Chris Hudnall. In collaboration with Infinity, they've birthed El Salón, a lavish cocktail retreat, and Bar Pintxo, a tapas spot echoing the Basque Country's spirit.
Then there's The Roof, showcasing Chef DiPaolo's innovative Latin delights. But for those with a penchant for coastal Mediterranean flavors, The Drexel awaits, conceived by the masterminds behind Miami's famed Mandolin Aegean Bistro. And for a grand finale, head to Tropezón, an Andalusian-inspired kitchen and gin bar, courtesy of Lost Boy & Co.
