(NEWS) MIAMI BEACH, Florida, United States, 2026-Nov-09 - /Travel PR News/ - A collection of historic Miami Beach buildings, some dating back to the late 1930s, is being transformed into a new 289-room Hilton hotel that will bring nearly nine decades of architectural heritage into a contemporary hospitality setting. Expected to open in early 2027, Hilton Miami Beach will occupy five interconnected buildings in the city's Museum Historic District, offering an alternative to the modern high-rise developments more commonly associated with the destination. Located at 2000 Park Avenue, the property will extend across almost an entire city block, within walking distance of the Miami Beach Convention Center, Collins Avenue, Ocean Drive and Lincoln Road. The location places guests close to the city's cultural attractions, shopping and entertainment districts, while providing convenient access for convention visitors and business travellers. The project is notable for its approach to adaptive reuse, bringing together buildings from different periods of Miami Beach's architectural development rather than replacing them with a single new structure. Hilton says the restoration will preserve the distinctive identities of the original properties while connecting them into a unified hotel experience. Restoring a chapter of Miami Beach's architectural history. The buildings represent an architectural journey from the streamlined forms of the Art Deco period to the postwar Miami Modern movement, commonly known as MiMo. Among the most significant is the former Collins Park Hotel, designed by architect Henry Hohauser and completed in 1939. Its original architectural features include rounded corners, chevron ornamentation and a curved glass entrance pavilion, along with a distinctive address detail displaying the number 2000. The building also has an unusual chapter in its history. During the Second World War, it served as military accommodation for the US Army Air Forces Technical Training Command, reflecting the wider role Miami Beach played in supporting wartime military activities. Other buildings incorporated into the development include the former Adams Hotel, designed in 1938 by L. Murray Dixon, and the Tyler Hotel, completed in 1940 to designs by Albert Anis. Their architectural details range from stepped towers and horizontal ribbon windows to sculptural reliefs and prominent vertical design features. The collection also encompasses the former Copley Terrace Apartments, the S&M Apartments and later structures designed by Anis in 1953. Following years of vacancy and a major fire in 2012, the redevelopment aims to reconnect these historic properties while retaining their individual characteristics. For Miami Beach, where architectural heritage is an important part of the destination's identity, the project illustrates how existing buildings can be adapted for modern tourism and hospitality uses without entirely sacrificing their original character. Contemporary rooms behind historic facades. While the exteriors will reflect the buildings' architectural history, Hilton Miami Beach's guest accommodation and shared spaces will take a contemporary approach to comfort and design. The interiors will draw on Miami Beach's Art Deco and midcentury influences through geometric patterns, curved furniture, polished metal details and a palette of soft greens and pinks. Public areas will reference the city's historic cafés and diners, with tropical greenery and open-air spaces connecting the design to its coastal surroundings. Across its 289 guestrooms and suites, the hotel plans to offer custom furnishings, Serta beds, premium bedding, 65-inch televisions and Crabtree & Evelyn bath products. Selected rooms will include private balconies or terraces, while larger suites will provide additional living areas. The hotel will feature three swimming pools, including a landscaped ground-floor courtyard pool and two rooftop pools overlooking the surrounding cityscape. Other facilities will include a 24-hour fitness centre with Peloton equipment, bicycle rentals, high-speed Wi-Fi, concierge services and access to the beach with loungers and towels. Rooftop social spaces and coastal dining. Food, drink and communal gathering areas will form another important part of the hotel's offering. Planned venues include a signature restaurant serving coastal-inspired cuisine, a casual café offering specialty coffee and convenient takeaway options, and a rooftop bar for cocktails and lighter dishes. Room service and an on-site market will provide additional dining choices. The rooftop spaces will also extend beyond leisure use, with indoor and outdoor venues planned for corporate functions, networking receptions, private celebrations and social occasions. This mix of amenities reflects the property's positioning between Miami Beach's leisure tourism market and its established meetings and convention business. With the Miami Beach Convention Center nearby, the hotel will be well placed to accommodate visitors attending conferences and exhibitions while also attracting guests interested in the city's cultural and beach experiences. Bruce Siegel, vice president of operations and general manager of Hilton Miami Beach, highlighted the opportunity to bring multiple periods of local architectural history together within a single hospitality property. The restoration is intended to retain the historic buildings' recognisable features while introducing contemporary facilities and social spaces designed for both visitors and the local community. A new base for exploring Miami Beach. Beyond the hotel itself, the surrounding Museum Historic District offers access to some of Miami Beach's established cultural landmarks. The Bass Museum of Art and Miami Beach Botanical Garden are nearby, while Lincoln Road provides shopping, dining and pedestrian-friendly public spaces. The property's location also allows guests to explore the area's architectural heritage alongside the beachfront attractions for which Miami Beach is internationally recognised. Hilton Miami Beach will operate under the Hilton Hotels & Resorts brand and participate in the Hilton Honors loyalty programme, giving eligible members access to points earning and redemption, digital check-in, room selection and Digital Key services. The opening remains anticipated for early 2027, with the precise inauguration date subject to confirmation. Once completed, the hotel will introduce new accommodation and event capacity into central Miami Beach while returning a collection of historically significant buildings to active use.

Following years of vacancy and a devastating fire in 2012, the restoration will reconnect these buildings while preserving their individual architectural identities.

From modern amenities, rooftop pools and communal spaces to the hotel's connection to Miami Beach's culture, Hilton Miami Beach will offer a stay that will bring fresh energy to the neighborhood."

St. Pancras International unveils its iconic 11-metre Christmas tree, celebrating the German stories behind Britain's festive traditions. November 6, 2026 St. Pancras International today reveals its much-loved station Christmas Tree for 2026, partnering with the German National Tourist Office (GNTO) and Hilton to bring the destinations, stories and festive traditions of Germany to the heart of London. Inspired by a traditional German Christmas pyramid, this year's installation marks a new chapter for the station's annual festive centrepiece, showcasing Germany's 16 regions and the Christmas traditions rooted in each region - many of which have become part of Christmas in Britain today. The reveal comes as new research finds that nine in ten (89%) Brits will be celebrating at least one German Christmas tradition this year, yet recognise only a third (33%) of those traditions as German-linked. A first for St. Pancras International Standing 11 metres high within the Grade I listed station, the tree reimagines a traditional German Christmas Pyramid on a spectacular scale, displaying Germany's festive culture - from destinations and their traditions to craftsmanship and design. The tree showcases the shared experiences that bring people together at Christmas, while inspiring visitors to discover more of Germany during the festive season. From Dresden's historic Striezelmarkt - one of the world's oldest Christmas markets - to Gengenbach's giant Advent calendar and Dortmund's 45-metre Christmas tree, the installation brings to life some of the destinations and experiences visitors can discover across Germany. The reveal comes as new research shows that seven in ten (72%) Brits would be interested in visiting at least one German festive destination or experience after learning about the German connections behind familiar Christmas traditions. St. Pancras International's partnership with the German National Tourist Office reflects the station's position as the UK's gateway to Europe. With plans to grow international rail capacity at the station, creating more opportunities for high-speed rail connections to Germany and across wider Europe, the tree celebrates the connections between the two countries while looking ahead to where seamless rail journeys could take visitors. Travellers can already reach Cologne from St. Pancras International with Eurostar, changing in Brussels, and discover its famous Christmas market beneath the city's magnificent cathedral, complete with its own spectacular Christmas tree. Germany is also a major focus for Eurostar's future growth, with plans for a future direct service from St. Pancras International to Frankfurt as part of its ambition to make it easier for more people to explore Europe by rail. Features of the tree German Craftsmanship: Inspired by a traditional German Christmas pyramid, the tree reimagines its intricate wooden construction on a spectacular scale. 18 craftspeople spent more than 2300 hours bringing the 11-metre installation to life, which is made up of 898 individual interlocking CNC-cut biodegradable plywood components and 1564 recycled fairy lights. Curiosity Windows: Around the base, 24 layered wooden 'curiosity windows' shine a light on German culture. Sixteen take visitors across Germany's regions through landmarks and festive customs - from the Advent calendar and Christmas markets to gingerbread houses and the Christmas tree itself - alongside eight festive moments from Hilton. Interactive Panels: Visitors can test their knowledge with the interactive panels on the tree, answering questions to uncover surprising facts and stories about Germany along the way. A rotating journey through Germany: The three rotating tiers of the tree showcase landmarks from across the country, bringing Germany's different regions together in one festive celebration. An 11-metre Advent Calendar: The tree also doubles as a giant Advent calendar. From 1 December, one of its 24 windows will illuminate each day in the countdown to Christmas Eve, with visitors given the chance to enter a daily prize draw. Festive prizes include return rail tickets to Germany with Eurostar, two-night Hilton stays in destinations across Germany and, as a grand prize, the chance to become a Hilton Honors Millionaire. The Christmas you know, the Germany you don't The story of the Christmas tree in Britain starts in Germany, when an illustration of Queen Victoria, her German-born husband Prince Albert and their children gathered around a decorated tree at Windsor Castle was popularised and brought the tradition into the British mainstream. Since then, the Christmas tree has become a much-loved festive feature in British homes, with almost two thirds (64%) of Brits putting up a tree this year and nearly three in five (58%) say Christmas wouldn't feel the same without one. Yet, despite its history, more Brits believe the Christmas tree originated in Britain than Germany (22% vs 19%). In fact, many of the traditions that feel unmistakably British at Christmas have travelled further than London Post realise. Almost half (46%) of Brits admit they follow Christmas traditions without knowing where they came from, while more than half (52%) are surprised to learn how many familiar festive traditions have German origins or connections. Wendy Spinks, Chief Commercial Officer at St. Pancras Highspeed, said: "The St. Pancras International Christmas Tree has become a much-loved part of London's festive calendar, and each year we want to give visitors something new and unexpected to discover. "This year, London Post is delighted to be working with the German National Tourist Office and Hilton to celebrate the fascinating stories behind some of the Christmas traditions London Post all know and love. "St. Pancras International is the UK's gateway to mainland Europe, and in partnership with international operators there are exciting plans to grow international rail capacity and create more opportunities to travel between London, Germany and across wider Europe. In celebration of these plans this year's tree brings a taste of German Christmas culture into the station in a way that feels uniquely St. Pancras. "We hope it sparks curiosity, brings some Christmas magic to people's journeys and inspires visitors to discover more - both here at the station and beyond." Petra Hedorfer, CEO of the German National Tourist Board, said: "Christmas traditions are an important part of Germany's culture, and many have travelled far beyond our borders to become traditions enjoyed across Britain today. We're delighted to partner with St. Pancras International and Hilton to bring these stories to life in the heart of London, connecting British travellers with the destinations and festive experiences behind them, and inspiring visitors to discover more of Germany this festive season." Darcy VanWyck, Senior Vice President and Commercial Director, EMEA, Hilton said, "At Hilton, we believe a great stay can turn a festive getaway into an unforgettable memory. With more than 55 hotels across Germany and a diverse portfolio of brands, travellers can experience the country's Christmas magic their way - from exploring traditional markets to enjoying a winter city break or a seasonal escape with loved ones. We're delighted to play a part in bringing this year's spectacular tree to life, through our partnership with St. Pancras International and the German National Tourist Office. We hope we can spark curiosity that inspires even more people to experience the magic of Germany at Christmas." Christmas at St. Pancras International Exactly when Christmas should begin remains an annual debate and, for a growing number of Brits, waiting until December is already too late. Nearly three in ten UK adults (27%) say Christmas officially starts during November, compared with just 5% who wait until Christmas Eve. For St. Pancras International, the journey to Christmas starts now and, throughout November and December, the station will come alive with festive performances, experiences and activations, from special moments around its celebrated public pianos to Christmas events, shopping, dining and partner activity. The Christmas tree will be at St. Pancras International from Monday 2nd November 2026 until 2nd January 2027.
