This New Miami Beach, Florida, Boutique Hotel Has a Lively Restaurant by a James Beard Award-winning Chef and Chic Tropical-inspired Interiors

""When I started designing Casa Cañita, I kept returning to this idea of being invited into an ancestral home somewhere in the Caribbean, where there's music playing, food being cooked, and everything feels weathered and layered. I wanted the rooms to feel warm and personal, like they'd evolved over time, with details that don't feel too perfect or staged-a place where guests feel comfortable right away, but also like they've stepped into a story that's familiar and vibrant.""

""The menu draws from across the Caribbean and Latin America, with dishes like slow-braised ropa vieja, conch fritters, and jerk-spiced chicken wings. The bar highlights rum and Caribbean cocktail heritage, including guava mojitos and elevated classics like the Canchánchara.""

Casa Cañita is a new boutique hotel in Miami Beach, opening on April 23. The hotel features 24 uniquely designed rooms inspired by 1950s Cuba, with tropical decor and vintage artwork. Amenities include private balconies and pet-friendly accommodations. The hotel's restaurant, La Cañita, offers Caribbean and Latin American cuisine, with live music each evening. Designer Nicolette Bernstein aimed to create a warm, inviting atmosphere reminiscent of an ancestral Caribbean home, where guests feel comfortable and engaged in a vibrant story.
