Fouquet’s is bringing its signature Parisian flair to the 305.
Robb Report can exclusively reveal that the storied French brand is opening a luxe hotel in Miami, marking its second property in the U.S. and the first high-end spot in the city’s Design District. (The hotelier’s first stateside locale, in the Big Apple, ranks as one of the best luxury hotels in New York City.) The new outpost will be housed within Miami Design Residences Designed by Chipperfield, which is also the area’s debut residential development.
As the name suggests, Pritzker Prize-winning architect David Chipperfield is spearheading the design of the 25-story tower, combining modern Miami touches with classic European elegance. From the renderings, the building will be light and airy, with white textured columns, touches of greenery, and plenty of outdoor space for its residences and guests to enjoy views of the water beyond. Inside, meanwhile, you’ll find 143 condos up for grabs, while the 12-story hotel will be home to 85 rooms, making for a fully blended residential and hospitality experience; Fouquet’s will be overseeing the condos, too, integrating both spaces even further and allowing owners to experience all the attention they’d receive at, well, a five-star hotel. That means bespoke services, curated programming, and five distinct dining experiences.

One of the main draws of the new property will, of course, be its location. The development sits on nearly two acres right in the buzzy Miami Design District, giving guests and residents alike direct access to an area that’s bursting with museums, restaurants, beaches, and more. (The world’s top watchmakers, for example, have been flocking to the hot spot as of late.) Fouquet’s, and its parent company Barrière, is no stranger to being in the heart of the action, either: The brand has had a presence on Paris’s Champ-Élysées since 1899.
“The creative sophistication of the Design District perfectly complements our ultra-luxury destinations from Tribeca and Gustavia to Courchevel and the Champs-Élysées,” Gregory Rabuel, CEO of Barrière, said in a statement. “By marrying our deep heritage with David Chipperfield’s architectural vision, we look forward to delivering Fouquet’s signature art de vivre to both residents and guests.”
Fouquet’s Miami is expected to open its doors in 2030. Meanwhile, sales at the development, located at 39 NE 39th Street, are set to begin this month via Corcoran. For more information, head to www.miamidesignresidences.com or email the sales team at info@MiamiDesignResidences.com.
