Civic leaders, developers and hospitality executives officially broke ground on the Grand Hyatt Miami Beach—an 800-room hotel planned for the Miami Beach Convention District and directly connected to the Miami Beach Convention Center (MBCC).
Expected to open in late 2027, Grand Hyatt Miami Beach will be managed by Hyatt.
“This is a defining moment for our convention and trade show eco system,” said David Whitaker, President & CEO of the Greater Miami Convention & Visitors Bureau (GMCVB), in a media statement. “Grand Hyatt Miami Beach will further strengthen our ability to compete for premier meetings, trade shows and conventions by offering a level of integration and convenience that meeting planners increasingly value. With direct access to our state-of-the-art Miami Beach Convention Center and the vibrant energy of Miami Beach just steps away, this hotel adds an exciting new dimension to the experience we offer.”
Located at 17th Street and Convention Center Drive, the 17-story hotel will include:
- 800 guest rooms, including 52 luxury suites with views of Miami Beach
- Four floors of dedicated meeting and ballroom space to complement the MBCC
- A climate-controlled skybridge connecting guests directly to the convention center
- Rooftop resort-style pool deck, signature restaurant, bar and retail
- Pedestrian promenades, bike-sharing stations and improved transit access
“The groundbreaking of Grand Hyatt Miami Beach marks a pivotal milestone in the transformation of the Convention Center District,” said the project’s developers, Terra CEO David Martin and Turnberry Chairman and CEO Jackie Soffer, in a media statement. “It fulfills a vision years in the making – an iconic, connected hotel that serves the meetings industry while strengthening the local economy and community. We’re proud to bring this landmark project to life in partnership with the world-renowned Hyatt brand.”
