Maison Felix

Maison Felix is a boutique 5-star hotel set inside a reimagined 1948 Miami Beach building in the North Beach neighborhood. The property centers on a courtyard pool surrounded by palms, with a fitness center, private gym and sauna, sun terrace, and garden seating for guests who want a quiet pace away from the bigger beachfront resorts.

Rooms range from compact Elegance and Nest rooms to Signature rooms, Junior Suites, Atelier Suites, and the Grand Luxe Suite, many with balconies, mini-bars, and streaming TVs. A continental buffet breakfast with fresh pastries is served each morning, and the hotel arranges complimentary beach chairs and an umbrella at a nearby beach access point.

It's a four-minute walk to the sand and close to Bal Harbour Shops, Surfside, and the Miami Beach Bandshell. The hotel is designed for guests aged 12 and up, which keeps the courtyard calm.

With fewer than 30 rooms, it feels more like a private residence than a typical hotel, and the design work throughout, from the tiled bathrooms to the furnished balconies, is a draw in itself.
