Welcome to HD Boutique! Hopefully you are all here in Miami to join us for the best fall gathering of our industry. While you are in Miami, I hope you will join us for two very exciting site visits at these newly renovated, design-inspiring properties. Dream South Beach: The latest design-driven property from Vikram Chatwal Hotels, Dream South Beach features 108 guestrooms, including a duplex penthouse, innovative dining, and an intimate rooftop lounge and event space with views of the Atlantic. Situated in the heart of Miami’s thriving Collins Avenue, Dream South Beach features a creative concept spearheaded by Architropolis principal Michael Czysz and interiors lead Kelly Ogden of Elk Collective, who transformed two iconic Art Deco buildings, the Palmer House and the Tudor Hotel, with décor elements evoking a feeling of late ’70s glamour by way of modern Moroccan design. Tour the hotel and the Tudor House indoor/outdoor restaurant (the ﬁrst Miami Beach eatery of noted chef Geoffrey Zakarian), plus the Central Courtyard, and Highbar, the hotel’s sleek rooftop lounge/event space. Shelborne: The newly renovated, beachfront Shelborne, which originally opened in 1940 and was designed by Igor Polevitsky as an ultra-modern and sleek Art Deco forerunner of International Style, is a property prominent in Miami’s architectural heritage. Drawing on its storied history during the ’40s, ’50s, and ’60s, ADD Inc, the Miamiand Boston-based design ﬁrm, has restored the hotel’s distinctive exterior while recreating its interior as a chic and contemporary hotel. The renovation was lead by Jonathan Cardello, principal and director of ADD Inc Miami, and included the new lobby, meeting rooms, lounge, amenities, restaurant, and entry canopy—plus guestrooms and suites. Please visit our website www.hdboutique.com for information on all our accredited sessions and to sign up for the tours. Even if you can’t make the ofﬁcial tour be sure to stop by and see these properties on your travels around town. A full conference schedule and complete ﬂoorplan is available online or you can now take it with you by utilizing our mobile application.
