Proposal

The application concerns outdoor entertainment, hours and operation of a Pool Deck and Beach Restaurant, and limits on special events at 2201 Collins Avenue. The Roney Palace Condominium Association (2301 Collins Avenue) is objecting, raising concerns about the impact of the proposed sound system on its residents. The Planning Board continued the matter to allow for further acoustical analysis.

From the Letter of Intent

The applicant seeks to modify the existing Conditional Use Permit No. 1922 to enable the relaunch of the former W Hotel South Beach as the Waldorf Astoria Miami Beach. The project does not involve substantial new construction but rather remodels and reprograms existing interior and outdoor spaces to align with the Waldorf Astoria brand's ultra-luxury hospitality standards. Key changes include replacing the WALL Nightclub with a private members-only lounge, replacing Mr. Chow's restaurant with a new upscale steakhouse, adding two new venues (Peacock Alley lobby lounge and a Beach Restaurant), and modifying hours and operational parameters across all venues.

  • Replace Mr. Chow's restaurant with a new upscale steakhouse (Corner Restaurant) operating 5:00 PM to 2:00 AM with optional lunch from 10:00 AM
  • Renovate and expand the Three-Meal Restaurant by integrating the former Living Room Bar space, retaining hours of 6:00 AM to 2:00 AM with 24-hour room service
  • Remove the Living Room Bar and repurpose its footprint into the Three-Meal Restaurant and new Peacock Alley venue
  • Replace WALL Nightclub with a Waldorf Astoria Private Members' Lounge operating 10:00 AM to 5:00 AM, restricted to members and accompanied guests only
  • Roll back Pool Deck and Bar day-to-day hours from 2:00 AM to 10:00 PM
  • Add new Peacock Alley all-day lobby lounge in the ground-floor southeast corner, operating 6:30 AM to 12:00 AM
  • Add new Beach Restaurant on currently underutilized beachfront turf area, operating 10:00 AM to 12:00 AM
  • Add a new valet drop-off-only lane along the north property line for ultra-VIP Members' Lounge guests
  • Maintain all parking as valet-only and fully on-site
  • Implement enhanced security, noise attenuation, and crowd control plans
  • Install hurricane-proof impact windows where windows are replaced
  • Incorporate passive cooling systems including operable windows and trellises
  • Provide resilient, salt-tolerant, Florida-friendly landscaping
  • Utilize cool pavement materials
  • Relocate or confirm all critical mechanical and electrical systems above base flood elevation
Key Issues
  • Potential noise impact of proposed outdoor sound system on adjacent Roney Palace Condominium residents
  • Adequacy of ambient sound level measurements used in applicant's sound study — measurements taken near 23rd Street may not reflect conditions at the Roney's south façade
  • Need for sound modeling at the Roney's south façade on upper and lower floors and at its pool area in both dBA and dBC
  • Appropriate speaker arrangements, operating levels, and hours to avoid disturbing Roney residents
  • Coordination and transparency between competing acoustical consultants
  • Whether the City's peer reviewer (Arpeggio) should be included in the joint measurement process
