CIPRIANI OCEAN RESORT, Miami Beach

Cipriani Ocean Resort and Club Residences on Miami Beach offer 209 fully furnished, fully serviced, luxury oceanfront hotel condominium suites, as well as 66 private club residences.  Cipriani was designed by renowned Florentine architect and interior designer Michele Bonan, and is set for completion in 2009. The name Cipriani will be appreciated by literature lovers: Giuseppe Cipriani opened "Harry's Bar" off the Piazza San Marco, in Venice. Patrons included Ernest Hemingway who made the bar famous in his "A Moveable Feast". Located at 32nd Street and Collins Avenue between the Atlantic and the Intracoastal Waterway, Cipriani is on the site of Miami Beach's historic Saxony Hotel, which was designed by Roy France, and which is being fully restored to its original and charming MiMo beauty thanks to a new wave of preservation focused on this particular architectural style (credited mainly to architect Morris Lapidus, creator of the Fontainebleau and others). "Mimo", short for Miami Modern, is the moniker created to describe the unique fantasy style of Lapidus' Miami Beach architecture that came after Art Deco, and which gave the area so much of its glamorous beach-holiday persona.

The new part of Cipriani is a beautiful layer cake of blue glass and minimal wrap-around balconies by architect Luis Revelta. Cipriani is set on the already-wide beachfront, which will be expanded to include a breakwater. These beachfront luxury condominium residences will offer classic luxury as well as the Cipriani hallmark of discreet service. Lucky residents and hotel guests will survey stunning views of 600 feet of pristine beach, and be spoiled by an impressive menu of amenities, including a spa and fitness center, outdoor bar and grill, beach cabana food and beverage service, three swimming pools, the signature, world-famous Cipriani restaurant, and a grand ballroom. Enjoy a daily dose of delicious South Beach luxury oceanfront condo living, Cipriani style!
