The small but eye-catching Circa39 Hotel invites you in to savor an ambience combining deco period style and contemporary South Beach comfort
Standing among much larger and more recent additions to this stretch of Collins Avenue, the small but eye-catching Circa39 Hotel invites you in to savor an ambience combining deco period style and contemporary South Beach comfort. The building’s exterior finish of pale ochre granite punctuated by white-and-blue eye-lidded windows leads into a cool, terrazzo tiled lobby that preserves some of the motifs of its earlier Forties existence amidst the renovated public areas. Formerly the Copley Plaza, and also originally built in 1939, present-day Circa39 retains a sense of wit and eclecticism along with its updated sense of chic. This shows up in corners of the lobby itself, where several lounge areas create their own quirky, individual statement: for instance, a carved stone fireplace is surrounded by a semi-circle of traditional wing-backed chairs accompanied by red and silver metallic rocking chairs. The staff are young, hip and knowledgeable about every aspect of local Miami entertainment and nightlife. Even if you have little time to get out, there is activity right at hand, with complimentary outdoor movies shown poolside every Wednesday night that are themed to local or calendar events; Thursday evening is Industry Night for networking with other professionals in the cocktail bar; and Fridays see a Wine Tasting Night. And at most any time, there is a delicious snack or meal to be had at the ground-floor Bistro@39, and complimentary breakfast every morning.
The rooms
It’s probably never simple to reinvent the original proportions of a Thirties or Forties property to meet the larger expectations of the 21st century traveler: the trick is often to make a virtue of necessity. Such is the case with Circa39’s guest accommodation, where intimacy and smaller space are made attractive in a way that size alone does not always provide. In fact, aside from the limitations of narrow guest level corridors, this works quite well for the Circa39. The 83 rooms and suites have a pleasant airiness and efficiency to them, enhanced by the brand-new hardwood floors and simple color scheme of cobalt blue curtains contrasting against stark white walls and furnishings. A small kitchenette area with microwave, mini-fridge and plenty of storage makes the suite a suitable hideaway to bunker down in by the beach for days. The bathroom has a full tub and showerhead and—unlike some renovated deco buildings—there is adequate room to move about. On the other hand, builders of the time were generous with storage areas: there are ample walk-in closets in both the living and bedroom. Bedrooms have large king-sized beds, a generous-sized desk, and windows with vistas of the avenue and beach beyond. The Mansion, which is the courtyard building in which the suites are situated, lets you look down into an open and serene interior of trees and garden areas.
