Balfour Miami Beach has joined Wyndham Hotels & Resorts‘ Registry Collection Hotels. The 82-room South of Fifth landmark has been a fixture of South Beach since 1940.
The Art Deco-style hotel features pastel facades and terrazzo details, with amenities including a pool terrace, onsite culinary offerings and social spaces.
“In the heart of Miami Beach, Balfour combines a quietly bold design with a relaxed, approachable style of luxury that feels effortlessly inviting,” said Leo Danese, VP, lifestyle brands, Wyndham Hotels & Resorts. “Just steps from the beach, it’s a destination defined by its prime location, the character of its iconic neighborhood and the warm, welcoming rhythm of its hospitality—creating a distinctive and memorable stay that fits perfectly within Registry Collection Hotels’ portfolio of iconic properties.”
Andrew Stegen, EVP, operations, FullG CRE Investments, which owns the hotel, added, “For generations, Balfour has been a place our guests return to, not just for its Art Deco charm or the warmth of South of Fifth, but for the welcoming atmosphere that makes everyone feel at home. Now, with Registry Collection Hotels by our side in this next chapter, we can share that feeling with even more travelers while staying true to the spirit and unique style that make this hotel special.”
Designed in 1940 by Art Deco architect Anton Skislewicz, the hotel spans two restored buildings connected by a palm-lined courtyard. Rooms and suites feature herringbone floors, Frette Italian linens, marble walk-in rain showers, in-room Lavazza coffee and bath amenities from The Botanist & The Chemist.
The property offers complimentary beach chairs and complimentary bicycles, as well as weekend wellness sessions.
As part of Registry Collection Hotels, the Balfour joins a global portfolio of independent properties known for thoughtful design and a strong sense of place. In recent years, the portfolio has grown to include The Mining Exchange, a Registry Collection Hotel, in Colorado Springs, CO—a restored architectural landmark—and Ajul Luxury Hotel & Spa Resort, a Registry Collection Hotel, in Halkidiki, Greece, the brand’s debut in Europe. Earlier this year, the company revealed plans to expand its portfolio into India, with growth set to begin in 2026.
