Esmé Miami Beach

other

Esmé Miami Beach consists of eight Mediterranean revival buildings connected by a series of hidden courtyards and terracotta-tiled walkways. Originally constructed in nineteen twenty-seven as the Española Way artists' village, the property served as a bohemian escape for writers and painters who preferred the neighborhood's quiet scale to the flashier hotels rising nearby. Al Capone once operated a gambling den in the building that now houses the main lobby, using the village's maze of alleyways to evade the police during raids.
