Marriott International’s Tribute Portfolio has expanded with the addition of The Goodtime Hotel, a Tribute Portfolio Hotel. Located in Miami Beach, the 266-room boutique hotel, retail and live music destination is the first collaborative lifestyle brand from David Grutman of Groot Hospitality and Pharrell Williams. Opened in April 2021, and managed by Highgate, the property provides visitors an escapist, transportive atmosphere through its reimagined Art Deco aesthetic, which unwinds over nearly 100,000 square feet of public space.
“We are thrilled to be joining the Marriott family to provide the 360-degree Groot Hospitality hotel experience to an even wider audience through Tribute Portfolio’s platform," Grutman said in a statement. “We look forward to providing Marriott Bonvoy members access to all The Goodtime Hotel has to offer.”
Real estate developers Michael D. Fascitelli and Eric Birnbaum of Imperial Companies assembled and developed the full square block between 6th and 7th Streets. The Goodtime Hotel’s architect Morris Adjmi, its designer Ken Fulk and the landscape architect Raymond Jungles breathed life into its spaces and rooms. Ultimately, this team created a unique marquee concept in Miami Beach’s hospitality scene: The Goodtime Hotel promotes an active, balanced lifestyle of equal parts happy pursuits and relaxed escapism, all within an everything-at-your-fingertips tropical oasis.
The Goodtime Hotel stands in a central, historic section of South Beach along the town’s famed Washington Avenue. Its corrugated facade, airy atrium entryway, hand-painted hothouse murals and Deco plasterwork recall the opulence and nostalgia of a time gone by, but this building has been entirely designed for modern travelers’ tastes. Its guestrooms range from majority individual queen bed accommodations to a handful of suites. Many rooms hold direct views west to Biscayne Bay or east to the Atlantic Ocean. Moreover, each of The Goodtime Hotel’s guest rooms feature custom bedding, bespoke drapes (including a blackout option for recharging), leopard-print benches, Ortigia bath amenities, and a signature pink rotary dial phone. In the guest corridors, a carpet woven with mock wet footprints amplifies the playful charm of Miami Beach.
“The Goodtime Hotel captures the electric energy of Miami’s South Beach and brings its unique identity and design-driven approach into the guest experience, making it a perfect match for the Tribute Portfolio,” Jennifer Connell, global brand leader, Tribute Portfolio, and vice president, distinctive premium brands, Marriott International, said in a statement. “This portfolio of independent hotels continues to catch the eye of the modern traveler—those who are drawn to a vibrant social scene and crave a connection with the destinations they’re visiting. We know visitors will be as thrilled as we are to have The Goodtime Hotel as a part of the Tribute Portfolio family and member of Marriott Bonvoy.”
