HISTORY
Originally named The Savoy Plaza when it was built in 1935, the hotel acquired and merged properties in in the last decade with the adjacent Arlington Hotel built in the late 1930s and its property creating The Savoy Hotel, today’s two-acre beachfront paradise. Both three-story hotels, the former Savoy Plaza is a pure Art Deco structure designed by architect V.M. Neillenbogen and the Hotel Arlington is a Classical Revival Art Deco structure designed by Miami Beach architect Albert Anis. The Savoy Hotel property has two of only four Pre-World War II beachside hotels left on South Beach, the remaining icons that show what the community was like in Miami Beach prior to World War II.
