Latest News About Mandarin Oriental Miami

Here’s the latest available update on Mandarin Oriental, Miami.

• Mandarin Oriental, Miami on Brickell Key reportedly closed on May 31, 2025, as part of a planned billion-dollar redevelopment into a two-tower residential and hotel complex, with about 430 staff laid off during the transition.[1][2][3]
• The redevelopment is described as The Residences at Mandarin Oriental, Miami (South Tower: 228 residences) and a North Tower housing a 121-room hotel, a spa, and multiple dining venues, connected by a large amenity podium; the project is expected to open around 2030.[2]
• Local coverage confirmed the closure timeline and the large-scale layoffs, and noted a closing gala and retrospective events planned around the hotel’s 25th anniversary prior to demolition.[3]
• A later travel industry update in 2026 highlighted the demolition of the property on Brickell Key as part of the ongoing One Island Drive development, signaling the site’s transition to the new luxury complex (architecture and exact opening dates referenced in industry reporting).[5][8]

Illustrative context:

• The project reflects a broader Miami trend of converting landmark luxury hotels into mixed-use luxury developments with residential components, a pattern seen in other recent upscale projects in the city.[2]
