Penguin Hotel

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.

Each of the 42 guest rooms is appointed with a unique nature inspired art canvas that occupies an entire wall and beautiful Czechoslovakian crystal chandeliers. The theme color of the Penguin Hotel is blue which complements the turquoise waters of the Atlantic Ocean. Guest room amenities include 32” Plasma TVs, WI-FI access throughout the hotel premises, wet bar, mini refrigerator, iron and ironing board, hair dryers and electronic safe. All rooms provide a mix of comfort, efficiency and style which starts with the unique oversized canvas covered wall and beautiful Czechoslovakian crystal chandeliers and finishes with the quality of the amenities in each room: 32” Plasma TVs, WI-FI access, mini refrigerators, wet bars, electronic safes, hair dryers and fully remodeled bathrooms. Ocean View and Ocean Corner View rooms feature magnificent views of Ocean Drive and the golden sands of South Beach.
