Originally designed as the Tiffany by architect L. Murray Dixon in 1939, the hotel is listed on the [National Register of Historic](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/moovit-ticket-purchasing) sites. Oldham had originally revised the building in 1998 but was lured back to design a 20-room addition to the hotel and its garden restaurant Wish. Replicating many of his original signature details from the hotel, the Todd Oldham redesign of the Hotel of South Beach includes daybeds that do triple duty as window seats, and storage and bathing areas designed to reflect sunset in Miami. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.0/10 - Popularity: 47% | Activity: 36% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [World](https://www.trendhunter.com/world) > [Travel](https://www.trendhunter.com/travel) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Historic Hotel Redesign:** Opportunity to revitalize historic hotels by bringing in renowned designers and adding modern amenities while preserving the original architecture. - **Restoring Architectural Heritage:** Growing trend of renovating historic buildings to maintain their cultural significance and appeal to a new generation of travelers. - **Multi-functional Design:** Increasing demand for hotel designs that prioritize versatility and functionality, offering guests a seamless and customizable experience. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Hospitality:** Hotels and resorts can leverage historic hotel redesign to attract discerning travelers seeking unique and culturally rich experiences. - **Architecture and Design:** Architects and designers can specialize in restoring and renovating historic structures, creating a niche market with high demand and value. - **Furniture and Interior Design:** Opportunity for furniture and interior designers to create multi-functional and space-saving solutions that cater to the specific needs of the hospitality industry. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Reimagined Stylish Beachside Hotels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/beachside-hotel-1.md) - [Design District Boutique Hotels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-hotel-at-the-moore.md) - [Eccentric Soho Hotels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/martin-brudnizki.md) - [Nostalgic Nantucket Hotels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/beachside-hotel.md) - [Revamped Mid-Century Beach Motels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hotel-lucine.md) - [Restored Art Deco Hotels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/restored-art-deco-hotel.md) - [Revitalized Retro Hotel Interiors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kimpton-los-monteros-hotel.md) - [Mid-Century Nostalgic Hotel Redesigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hotel-riomar.md) - [Retro Surf-Nostalgic Boutique Hotels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sea-sea.md)
