A tower on Biscayne Boulevard
The Waldorf Astoria Hotel & Residences Miami occupies 300 Biscayne Boulevard in Downtown Miami. The release that announced the groundbreaking on 27 October 2022 describes the tower rising 1,049 feet over 100 stories above Biscayne Bay, with 360-degree views of Downtown Miami, Miami Beach and the Atlantic Ocean.
An operator planning a Miami stop gets a vertical anchor in the downtown core. The water is the bay, with the ocean beyond Miami Beach.
Biscayne Boulevard as the base of a two-night stay
Biscayne Boulevard runs the downtown waterfront. A property on that spine puts a group inside the downtown restaurant and venue district and within reach of the beach across the causeways.
The record publishes no distances, no transfer times and no coach set-down plan. Measure the routing on the ground before it goes into a brochure.
The water setting
The release frames the tower against Biscayne Bay and treats the view line as a design objective. It describes no marina, no dock, no beach club and no water access from the property.
Treat the water as a view. Any boat component of an itinerary runs from a third-party operator at a separate location.
Spa, restaurant and Peacock Alley
Hotel guests reach a holistic wellness spa and fitness center, a specialty restaurant and Peacock Alley, the brand lounge. The release lists all three as hotel amenities inside the first three cubes.
It names no restaurant concept, no cuisine, no spa treatment menu and no spa size. A client asking what the restaurant serves gets that answer from the hotel.
The pool deck a group asks about first
The hotel carries a resort-style pool deck with private cabanas. The residences carry a separate elevated pool deck.
Two pool decks in one building means the hotel deck serves hotel guests. A group that expects exclusive use of the deck should confirm access terms with the sales office. The release gives no deck size, no cabana count and no hours.
Where the itinerary stops
The property opens with 205 guest rooms and suites. The residential component holds 387 homes at the 2026 count, against 360 in the 2022 release.
For a tour operator the working figure is 205 keys. A downtown luxury house at that size fits a boutique group programme, an incentive tier or a single-hotel city stay.
Booking against a 2028 completion
The developer anticipates completion in the second quarter of 2028. The record sets no hotel opening date and no date from which the property will take group reservations.
Concrete reached the ninth and final cube in August 2026, with the superstructure at level 85 on 23 August. Site signage advertises a top-off in winter 2026, and curtain wall has run through the seventh cube.
The June 2024 mat pour gives a delivery signal: about 12,400 cubic yards of concrete, 195 workers and 1,240 truck deliveries across 31 continuous hours. The build rests on $668 million of construction financing from Bank OZK and Related Fund Management, secured in 2024.
What the operator cannot promise yet
No rates. No room categories beyond guest rooms and suites. No dining hours. No spa menu. No published transfer arrangements. No confirmation of a soft or phased opening.
The operator holds one firm date for this property: the second quarter of 2028. Every other date in a Miami itinerary belongs to the operator to set.
Hold the property as a 2029 option, and put the bay-view room request in writing.
