You can now book the new Andaz Miami Beach Opening March 2025
In 2022, we learned about plans for an Andaz property in Miami Beach, involving the renovation and rebranding of an existing Hyatt hotel. Now there’s a major update: the hotel is accepting reservations for stays starting March 2025.

The Confidante Miami Beach Transitioning to Andaz
The Confidante Miami Beach was previously part of The Unbound Collection by Hyatt, a brand designed for independent upscale hotels.
In 2022, the 339-room property was sold for $232 million, equating to $684,000 per key. Plans were announced for a $60 million renovation, after which the property would reopen as the Andaz Miami Beach.
The hotel closed in March 2024 to begin extensive renovations. While the original timeline aimed for a late 2024 reopening, this has shifted to March 5, 2025. Reservations for stays are now available from that date onward.
Renovations will include an all-new lobby featuring a “first-of-its-kind ocean view check-in experience,” reimagined culinary offerings in collaboration with José Andrés Group, and an upgraded pool area.
Rates & Points Requirements for Andaz Miami Beach
Now that reservations are open, here’s a look at rates and points requirements:
• The property is designated as a Category 6 in the World of Hyatt program.
• Standard room redemptions: 21,000–29,000 points per night.
• Standard suite redemptions: 36,000–44,000 points per night.
• Award nights aren’t yet loaded but should be available soon.
Cash rates are on the higher side, reflecting the hotel’s opening during Miami’s peak season. Rates start at $800+ per night around March and drop to $500+ per night in September. While these rates may adjust over time, they align with Miami’s strong hotel market.
For those considering a cash booking, the Hyatt Privé program could be advantageous, offering perks like room upgrades, complimentary breakfast, and a hotel credit.
Why This Is Great News
We’ve observed that The Confidante Miami Beach, while beloved for its beachfront location, was showing its age. The significant investment into renovations and its rebranding as an Andaz signals a commitment to elevating the property’s appeal.
The Andaz Miami Beach is set to become Hyatt’s most premium property in the area, which will be appreciated by World of Hyattmembers. It’s one of two Hyatt properties slated to open soon in Miami, alongside the Thompson Miami Beach (though the latter won’t be beachfront).
Miami’s hotel market has been thriving, with room rates soaring since the pandemic. While the rebranding will likely mean higher rates, it also promises a much-needed refresh for this prime beachfront location.
Conclusion
The Andaz Miami Beach, opening March 2025, marks an exciting chapter for Hyatt in the Miami area. Replacing The Confidante Miami Beach, it brings a much-needed premium addition to the brand’s portfolio in the region, where competitors like Marriott currently have a stronger presence.
With its stunning design, upgraded amenities, and prime beachfront location, this property is sure to attract both loyal Hyatt guests and new visitors seeking a luxurious Miami escape.
