Cadillac Hotel & Beach Club Miami Beach

The Cadillac Hotel & Beach Club Miami Beach stands at 3925 Collins Avenue on a direct-oceanfront Mid-Beach block. The hotel’s official history traces the property to 1940, when architect Roy F. France designed the original 14-story tower. An eight-story addition followed in 1956. Today it’s an Autograph Collection hotel built around beach access, pools, on-site dining and event space. The dense nightlife of Ocean Drive isn’t the draw here.

Who the Cadillac Hotel & Beach Club Miami Beach Suits

This property fits travelers who want a full-service, resort-style stay. It doesn’t require booking into the densest part of South Beach’s Ocean Drive core. The Mid-Beach address offers a quieter stretch of sand while remaining within Miami Beach. Couples and families who want a private beach area, pools, and on-site kid activities will get the most out of it. Several in-house dining options mean nobody has to leave the property. Guests planning a wedding, corporate event or larger group gathering also have a real option here. The hotel publishes dedicated meeting and event space alongside its guest rooms. It’s a less obvious fit for travelers who specifically want a boutique, adults-only or nightlife-adjacent stay. The emphasis here is architecture, beach access and in-house dining, not a club scene.

What to Expect On Site

Room categories span City View King and Queen rooms, Premium Ocean View rooms, and Oceanfront King and Queen rooms. Accessible rooms are also available, along with an Oceanfront King Suite marketed as the Cadillac Suite with its own private terrace. The property’s dining page lists four distinct venues rather than a single hotel restaurant. Donna Mare Italian Chophouse serves hand-made pastas, wood-fired pizzas and prime cuts of meat. Breakfast runs from 7 to 11 a.m. Monday through Friday and from 7 a.m. to noon on weekends, while dinner begins at 5 p.m. every day. Bungalow Beach Bar & Grill has lighter fare, a raw bar, fresh juice and small-batch coffee. Friday and Saturday bring a live DJ from 9 p.m. to midnight.

Il Merkato is the coffee bar and gelateria, open daily from 6:30 a.m. to 7 p.m. The Lobby Bar runs later in the evening. Guests can book reservations for Donna Mare through OpenTable or by calling the hotel directly. That’s most useful for weekend dinner seatings.

Planning a Stay at the Cadillac Hotel & Beach Club Miami Beach

Standard check-in is from 4 p.m. and check-out is at 11 a.m. The hotel’s Pet Stays program allows pets, but confirm current fees and weight rules during booking. Reserve a room through the hotel’s own site or Marriott’s Autograph Collection channel. For dinner at Donna Mare, reserve via OpenTable or call the hotel directly, especially for weekend service. Groups considering the meeting and event spaces should request availability directly, since capacity and pricing are quoted per event.

Where It Sits on Collins Avenue

The hotel is part of Mid-Beach’s Collins Waterfront Historic District. It sits north of the Ocean Drive and Art Deco Historic District core. The National Park Service record identifies the Cadillac Hotel at 3925 Collins Avenue as a 1940 Art Deco and Streamline Moderne building designed by Roy F. France. The 1956 addition is credited to Melvin Grossman. The hotel also documents its World War II use by the U.S. military from 1942 to 1945. The property closed for renovation in 2017 and reopened in 2018 as part of Marriott’s Autograph Collection. It had previously operated as a Courtyard by Marriott. The Collins Avenue address gives guests direct beach access and access to the beach boardwalk. That works for walking or biking between Mid-Beach and South Beach.

Honest Limitations

The property does list a fitness center and valet parking among its amenities. Neither the parking cost nor self-parking options are published. That matters for anyone driving in and planning around a fixed budget. Most relevant right now: portions of the lobby and pool areas are temporarily unavailable. Enhancements that began in July are still underway. Beach access and hotel services remain available. Anyone booking mainly for pool access should call ahead to confirm the current setup.
