The Confidante Miami Beach is proud to announce that we are the first hotel partner to complete the Greater Miami Convention & Visitors Bureau’s Miami Begins with Me LGBTQ Diversity & Inclusion Customer Service Training produced in partnership with YES Institute. This is one of several initiatives we have committed to in our promise to create a safe, inclusive, and welcoming hotel for our guests and colleagues alike.

We are pleased to announce that ConventionSouth, a leading magazine and online source for planners of meetings and conventions, has crowned The Confidante Miami Beach a winner in their 2019 Reader’s Choice Awards! With more than 2,500 nominated meeting destinations, only 337 were given an honor. This follows our recent $9.5 million indoor meeting space renovations, including the unveiling of the oceanfront Carmen Miranda Ballroom with sweeping views of the pools, beach and lush palm trees.

A special thank you to all who voted for our playful oceanfront oasis! This honor will be highlighted within ConventionSouth's December Awards Issue - pick up your copy!

The Confidante Miami Beach has partnered with Hello Bello, a premium, plant-based family brand co-founded by parents Kristen Bell and Dax Shepard, to unveil the company’s first-ever amenity cart at the hotel. Available beginning today, the Hello Bello cart is conveniently stationed at the hotel’s two heated pools and comes stocked with all the essentials that are inspired by families but practical for all guests, including mineral sunscreen, premium lotions, plant-based wipes, natural bug spray, hair detangler and more. Whether poolside, on the beach, or tucked away in a cozy cabana, guests can enjoy all the perks of an uncomplicated, retro-cool vacation in the heart of Miami Beach without the hassle of having to overpack.

Your furry traveling companion is welcomed at our oceanfront oasis, with the launch of a revamped pet program. Upon arrival, your four-legged friend will receive a Confidante-branded dog-tag to be placed on the collar for the entirety of their stay and a take home gift of a Confidante-branded pop-up water bowl and baggie dispenser. Make the most of your trip with a curated Woof Guide featuring Miami’s best pet-friendly restaurants, shopping districts, parks/beaches and more.

The new oceanfront Carmen Miranda Ballroom brings the hotel’s mid-century modern design to life in a 4,639-square foot space inclusive of a pre-function area, expansive indoor ballroom with two divisible seating sections, a dedicated stairwell to the property’s two heated pools and colorful poolside cabanas and bungalows, and private wrap-around terrace with views of the hotel’s pools, lush tropical landscape and sparkling Atlantic Ocean. The $5.5 million renovation comes fresh off the heels of a $3.5 million revamp to the hotel’s second-floor meeting and event space in October 2017. Highlights of the new ballroom space include advanced technology features, customizable lighting and A/V options, and design enhancements that combine sentiments of Miami Beach’s golden era with modern elements.

The Confidante's custom retail cart, styled to match The Backyard’s retro-glam look and feel, invites guests to make the most of their oceanfront oasis. Rest and relaxation is on the menu with this convenient walk-up service, offering a wide array of complimentary reads to guests, from local lifestyle magazines to popular titles, as they lounge poolside or head to the beach. A retail store on wheels, the cart also sells a variety of exclusive Confidante merchandise found only on property. Guests hoping to memorialize their trip or give their friends back home some FOMO can purchase custom print unisex t-shirts and tank tops; Confidante-branded towels, specially designed water bottles, baseball hats, and fun tote bags. Organic and mineral sunscreen brand, Coola, a Confidante favorite, is also available.

With pools this enticing, there’s only one way to make it even better: an on-demand floatie menu! Our first-ever dedicated floatie offering takes relaxed lounging to new heights this season. With floaties for every occasion, including everyday fun, bridal parties, or PRIDE, more than 10 distinct floaties are available for purchase. Guests can enjoy them during their stay and take the floaties home upon checkout. Whether an oversized diamond ring for the bride-to-be or rainbow raft for Instagram fun, these inflatables will not only enhance your stay, but also uplevel your social media game. A special beverage service is also available when guests purchase one of two special floaties on the menu: the rainbow cloud or flamingo cooler, each equipped with a bottle of rosé or prosecco and refreshing fruit plate. It’s the perfect in-pool amenity for couples or groups.

Treat, sweet, or drink? All three options are onboard with the hotel’s new pull-up cart service. You don’t even have to ask for a treat, as The Confidante staff intuitively delivers daily delighters to keep poolside lounging on point, including cold hand towels (with or without The Confidante’s popular signature scent), frozen grapes, signature cocktail samples and more. As the temperatures rise, guests stay cool on property, thanks to a recently expanded partnership with gourmet ice-cream brand from Miami’s historic Little Havana neighborhood, Azucar Ice Cream Company, and craft popsicle company from Miami’s popular Wynwood Art District, Cielito Artisan Pops. The hotel’s exclusive gourmet popsicle and libation pairing menu, in partnership with Cielito Artisan Pops, brings five new options: Hibiscus Mini Pop, paired with a glass of Prosecco; Watermelon Pop, paired with Globetrotter; Ginger Mint Lemonade Pop, paired with Confidante Lemonade; and The Confidante Pop, paired with Confidante Colada.
