Historic boutique hotel, fully renovated and refurbished, located directly on Ocean Drive across from the golden sands of South Beach. This stylish Art Deco gem is just 3 blocks from the popular Lincoln Road pedestrian mall, providing easy access to a vast array of restaurants, night clubs and shopping venues. The Penguin Hotel, designed by Henry Hohauser, is a shining example of 1940's Late Art Deco style. The building was designed and built in 1948 and features Horizontality as a prominent element throughout the structure, with overhanging strip windows and a horizontal railing located on front facade. The original name of the building was The Golden Dawn Hotel, which years later was changed to Penguin Hotel. All 42 rooms of this beachfront hotel were fully renovated and refurbished by a French designer in 2006, adding a unique design element to this historic hotel.
