Joyful, fresh and utterly luxurious, this brand new hotel entry is the talk of the (Miami) town!
Miami is welcoming a brand new hotel, where having a good time is already granted by its name! The Goodtime Hotel is the first collaborative lifestyle hotel brand from David Grutman of Groot Hospitality and Pharrell Williams and it has officially opened its doors on Miami Beach’s Washington Avenue and 6th Street.
It is an impressive 266-room property with an escapist, transportive atmosphere through its joyful reimagined Art Deco aesthetic, unwinding over nearly 100,000 square feet of public space.
The Goodtime Hotel’s architect Morris Adjmi, its designer Ken Fulk and the landscape architect Raymond Jungles breathed life into its spaces and rooms and created a unique marquee concept in Miami Beach’s hospitality scene. The Goodtime Hotel promotes an active, balanced lifestyle of equal parts happy pursuits and relaxed escapism, all within an everything-at-your-fingertips tropical oasis.
“We want The Goodtime Hotel to impart a feeling of both revitalization and that rare, exciting thrill that takes over when you discover something special,” says Pharrell Williams. “It’s that adrenaline-fueled sensation of entering a whole new setting and a whole new mindset. This place will provide a naturally good time, for all who come through.”
The Goodtime Hotel stands in a central, historic section of South Beach, along the town’s famed Washington Avenue. Its corrugated facade, airy atrium entryway, hand-painted hothouse murals and Deco plasterwork recall the opulence and nostalgia of a time gone by, but this building has been entirely designed for modern travelers’ tastes.
Its 266 guest rooms range from majority individual Queen bed accommodations to a handful of Suites. Many rooms hold direct views west to Biscayne Bay or east to the Atlantic ocean, which guarantee Instagram-worthy sunrise or sunsets on a regular basis. Moreover, each of The Goodtime Hotel’s guest rooms features custom bedding, bespoke drapes (including a blackout option, in the event you need a few more hours to recharge), leopard-print benches, Ortigia bath amenities, and a signature pink rotary dial phone. In the guest corridors, a carpet woven with mock wet footprints amplifies the playful charm of Miami Beach.
Dining at The Goodtime Hotel
The Goodtime will also be home to vibrant F&B options, retail and more, all of which have been curated to create experiences synonymous with the property’s namesake.
Strawberry Moon, a restaurant and 30,000 square foot pool club, will serve up classic and casual Mediterranean fare and a full array of specialty cocktails for lunch and dinner, inside or poolside. Strawberry Moon amplifies modern Miami’s crossroads of culture and energy, with Fulk’s design concept channeling mid-century Caribbean and Central American resort towns (such as Havana and Acapulco in their throwback days). Think broad stripe pastel tiling, vintage scalloped bar seating, pinstriped awnings, and more.

The Goodtime Hotel holds additional key aspects, such as its 45,000 square feet of ground-floor retail, its gym, featuring MyBeast and Peloton equipment, and its Library, a glossy peach-hued and natural oak-clad room meant for anything from coffee to cocktails to casual business meet-and-greets. The Library is a sociable meeting ground within the hotel, where guests may seamlessly transition from work mode to weekend mode, if and when they so choose.
