GALE SOUTH BEACH, CURIO COLLECTION BY HILTON, Miami Beach

Gale South Beach, Curio Collection By Hilton - Art Deco hotel with rooftop pool, Italian dining, and cocktail clubs

Located in the famous Art Deco District, this historic 87-room Miami Beach hotel occupies a 1941 building blending vintage charm with modern amenities. The Gale South Beach features a rooftop swimming pool with city and ocean views, plus beach service shared with the Shelborne sister hotel. The property houses Dolce Italian restaurant, serving authentic Italian cuisine from wood-fired pizzas to classic spaghetti al pomodoro in a warm setting. Two distinct nightlife venues define the Curio Collection by Hilton property: The Regent Cocktail Club offering nightly live music and craft cocktails, and the subterranean Rec Room nightclub with 1970s-inspired decor. Rooms showcase nautical-themed white bedspreads with blue accents, dark hardwood floors, and vintage South Beach photography. The hotel sits one block from the Atlantic Ocean, with Lincoln Road's restaurants and shops within walking distance.
