Located just one block from the beach, The James Royal Palm is an extravagant boutique hotel. Lauren Rottet of Rottet Studio put the design touch on the hotel as a tribute to the original James Royal Palm, built in 1939. Most of the original design and architecture were kept intact, including the original terrazzo lobby floors and green glass throughout. The hotel also houses some of South Beach’s best-kept dining secrets, including Florida Cookery and Catch.
