The Andaz Miami Beach has opened, marking the Andaz brand's Florida debut. The hotel is a top-to-bottom transformation of what was the Confidante.

The Andaz was designed by EoA Group alongside the Hyatt Lifestyle Group's in-house design team. The redesigned hotel "captures the graceful flow of the ocean, where undulating curves replace hard lines. Hues of aqua, mint, turquoise and sage pay tribute to Miami's Art Deco past," Hyatt said.

The Andaz Miami Beach features 287 guestrooms (including 64 suites), two heated outdoor pools with private cabanas, a spa, a members' beach club and three Jose Andres Group restaurants.

The hotel said that the Mediterranean-inspired Aguasal "transports guests from Miami to Mallorca and Mykonos." Bar Centro offers an all-day menu featuring Spanish tapas-inspired plates. The Bazaar by Jose Andres is coming in 2026. 

Visitors are greeted in an elevated lobby with ocean views. In signature Andaz fashion, there is no check-in desk. Each guest is seated and personally welcomed with a cocktail.

The resort's private beachfront has lounge chairs, umbrellas and daybeds.

The soon-to-open Ondara Spa will be perched on the fourth-floor terrace, where a relaxation lounge overlooks the Atlantic. 

The 25,000 square feet of event space includes two oceanfront ballrooms with floor-to-ceiling windows and seven meeting rooms. The hotel's swimming pool features a hydraulic floor system that elevates to create a solid surface for outdoor events.
