Even after the challenges of the past year, Kimpton’s Florida hotels are looking ahead to a brighter 2021, launching an array of enhancements, new programming and improvements—including the renovation of the Kimpton Surfcomber Hotel.
Kimpton Surfcomber, an Art Basel-preferred hotel situated oceanfront in the heart of South Beach’s Art Deco District, is currently in the final stages of a guestroom and public areas renovation. Taking the romance of the South of France as inspiration, the refreshed design of the hotel is playful, simple, clean and earthy. All throughout this boutique hotel, designers have created a fresh, alluring vibe, with understated statement pieces, sleek Calacatta marble, teak moulding and textured grasscloth.
“We aligned the new design of the Kimpton Surfcomber Hotel with the same love of stylish leisure in the Mediterranean,” said Dayna Lee, principal designer, Powerstrip Studio. “The French Riviera and the Italian Riviera have visitors who bask in sunshine, pools and wild tropical gardens, all of which are available at the Kimpton Surfcomber. It is time we celebrate it by implementing natural muted palettes and textures mixed with styles of furnishings that are indecipherably contemporary and period.”
The hotel’s beloved Vines Cabanas at Surfcomber, a unique dedicated outdoor space that provides guests with a private lounging alternative, have also been recently reimagined with brand new furniture and fixtures.
“The Kimpton Surfcomber Hotel is a coveted Art Deco building with deep history, an expansive backyard and in direct access to the beach,” Lee noted. “The ever-changing culture is rich with history and we are especially fortunate to have a large parcel of land to experience it in its original footprint and let it grow with wild greens, tall Traveler Palms, which are a huge part of our design. The architecture and culture of leisure lends itself to reflect upon historic South of France inn who have mastered it well with ongoing timelessness, vintage chic and a 1950s-1970s European color palette.”
Kimpton Surfcomber is also in the midst of refreshing its meetings and events spaces, with completion set for mid-2021. Already a South Beach wedding destination thanks to its expansive “backyard,” the property will be able to offer refreshed events inventory for groups of all sizes.
