The inspiration behind our iconic interior design & a little about the designer, Jessie Schuster
More than a hotel, Esmé is a portal to another world, a window into the halcyon days of hustlers that played ‘ em as they laid, artists that dared to break the mold, and It girls that left their beauty mark on the styles of the times The Village is a multi-faceted gem alongside the buzz of Española Way, yet hidden among hushed historic paseos, and extends to the character-rich Casa Matanza With a nod to the Spanish-Mediterranean influence on Esmé’s architecture, the thrilling tastes of Spain dance with the magically diverse Latin flavors of Miami, beckoning the old country’s lust for life and deliciously slower pace Originally The Clay Hotel, Esmé the crown jewel of Miami Beach sparkles like she was always meant to
SSIT, SIP & SNACK...
Enjoy our Paseo Menu for a coffee break, glass of wine or more The perfect quiet escape!
Originally the Clay Hotel, Esmé’s walls are textured with the memories of a long and colorful past. Almost 100 years ago, enterprising visionaries set on realizing a “scenographic primer on the architectural history of the Mediterranean region” for world travelers who felt that “Miami Beach lacked an area with a creative atmosphere for artists” Española Way was, in all ways, destined to be distinct, but the Clay gave guests their most storied stays and a haven for scheming conmen hiding out along the ports And though the times may have changed, Esmé Miami Beach was designed to reimagine this 100 years of history with as much artistry as the original guests sought and as much aura as the original property provided As today’s creative class seeks out new and niche modes of memory-making, and their nouveaubohemian sensibilities disrupt old standards in hospitality, Esmé as a hotel, village, and brand stands out in choice for how it stands up for originality. To visit is to not just be steps away from the whitesands of Miami Beach, or the charismatic corridors, local vendors, and dining establishments of Española Way, or even the seasonal attractions of Art Basel and the South Beach Wine & Food Festival, it’s to also step away from time itself

A restaurant on Española Way making good on the boulevard’s name Adjacent to Esmé Miami Beach Hotel, Tropezón is a charming, Andalusian-inspired spot boasting a generous list of Spanish wines, sherries and gincentric cocktails
Owners Randy Alonso Chris Hudnall, who are also behind downtown’s popular Americana bar Lost Boy Dry Goods, traveled throughout Spain to gain insight into daily life and tapas culture for the concept. They drew inspiration from laid-back village bars, combining the old-world architecture they encountered with their preferred Western aesthetic to create a saloon-type feel. “The idea was to create a playful space with a combination of Western and Spanish touches that are random but intriguing at the same time,” says Alonso. Vintage furnishings and Alonso’s own collection of memorabilia strewn about combine to present a nostalgic view of Spain
Short of closing for siesta, Tropezón endeavors to stay true to an Andalusian restaurant with its food and drink offerings
The menu packs in all of the classics you’d expect from a tapas bar, including tortilla Española, gambas al ajillo, gazpacho, patatas brava and tablas de jamón Ibérico All, of course, meant for sharing. Larger plates take more artistic liberty, such as the cowboy ribeye seasoned with a five-spice coffee rub
The country’s signature cocktail, the gin tonic, is front and center with more than 20 different gin infusions, from teas and fruits to cured meats Think savory gin martinis, colorful g&ts like the blue matcha yuzu and local strawberry. Sherry and vermouth are also widely available for those who prefer to indulge in Spain’s classic fortified wines
Fancy a trip to the Iberian peninsula? Tropezón is now open at 512 Española Way, serving dinner nightly

About Esmé.. a project that turned a historic space into a design gem
For her first-ever hotel project, the Manhattan-based interior designer Jessica Schuster took on the project of the Esmé and Casa Matanza buildings, on South Beach’s Española Way promenade The 145-room Esmé’s interiors were meant to be “softer and sweeter,” Schuster says, while at 42 rooms, Casa Matanza is “darker and moodier,” but in both, Schuster employed a color palette of saturated citrus and jewel tones, and retained many architectural features from the hotels’ original 1920s buildings, including arched doorways, pecky cypress ceilings and a fireplace uncovered during demolition The result is a richly eclectic space that guests may not want to leave, and won’t need to: Schuster connected Esmé’s multiple roof decks with a series of small bridges, so visitors can saunter from the new pool to cabanas to the Spanish tapas restaurant and sangria bar, with Casa Matanza soon be connected via a subterranean passageway so that people may take discreet advantage of each property’s amenities “I was borrowing from yesterday, today and tomorrow to create this whimsical and fantastical experience,” Schuster says “It’s very different for Miami.”
Whether you want a chill day by the pool or to hit the beach, we have you covered!
