Hotel Breakwater in South Beach, one of the most unique of all South Beach resorts, was originally created in 1936 by Yugoslavian architect Anton Skislewicz . It has an emphasis on symmetry, the strong line, it features a central tower and it’s splashed in neon.

After decades of stagnation, its pastels faded, its ocean views undervalued, Miami Beach’s jewel of Art Deco hotels has been resurrected to its original glory. At night, the Breakwater's towering central facade that bears up its name lights up like a radioactive sword of blue and orange and white, a sight that can be seen from nearly anywhere in Lummus Park.

Today, currently owned by Esplendor Hotels, a Latin America-based hotelier group, The Breakwater combines design, avant-garde and unique experiences for guests.
