Andaz Miami Beach opens after Confidante overhaul
The Andaz Miami Beach has opened, marking the Andaz brand's Florida debut. The hotel is a top-to-bottom transformation of what was the Confidante. The Andaz was designed by EoA Group alongside the Hyatt Lifestyle Group's in-house design team. The redesigned hotel "captures the graceful flow of the ocean, where undulating curves replace hard lines. Hues of aqua, mint, turquoise and sage pay tribute to Miami's Art Deco past," Hyatt said.
