The James royal Palm
miami beach, Fla.

"It's deco yet modern, simple but
different. It has a great floorplan.
I haven't seen anything like this
before." -Petter Stordalen

Rottet Studio

The magic In the rooms, it's all about using the
cleans lines of art deco to frame views of the sandy
beach and turquoise water. In fact, each of the
studios and suites has a mirror strategically placed
to ensure that a beach view is possible from multiple
vantage points. Signature guest room elements
include a custom-designed wooden headboard that
extends along the wall to a work/dining niche,
featuring a table adorned with a sunken blue glass

The Takeaway Make what's functional, fabulous.
It's the subtle touches that make these guest accommodations memorable. A custom-designed
wooden headboard extends down the wall to link
the sleeping and living zones in this long, narrow
bay. Mismatched chairs that share a deco vibe
accessorize the dining/work table. Round area rugs
underscore the residential appeal-especially in a
fresh color scheme of aqua and blue.

The brief Transport guests into an era of
nostalgia reminiscent of Art Deco Miami in the
1920s through 1940s. Focus on clean, bright touches
that are as appealing now as they were when the
original Royal Palm opened in 1939. Treat this
393-key property as a modern tribute to the deco
period, not a slavish copy.

top; simple and clean white lacquer bed stands; and a
floral rug employing shades of cerulean and sea blue.
The majority of rooms offer step-out balconies, large
windows and uncompromised views of the Atlantic
Ocean, Miami cityscape and Biscayne Bay. Paintings,
photographs, prints, furniture and specially commissioned pieces from the hotel's permanent art collection are spread throughout the 200,000 sq. ft. of
guest rooms (and 70,000 sq. ft. of public spaces).
