Bigtime Design Studios reimagined The Gabriel Hotel (formerly ME Hotel) with a fresh, contemporary interpretation of classic Art Deco elegance. Located in the heart of South Beach, the design fuses mid-century modernism with tropical sophistication, creating a vibrant yet refined hospitality experience.

The interiors showcase a pastel palette of pinks, blues, and greens, complemented by vintage woods and terrazzo flooring. The lobby welcomes guests with a custom brushed brass reception desk, velvet lounge chairs, and lacquered marble side tables—all framed by iconic porthole windows that flood the space with natural light. A 30-foot mural by renowned artist Mr. Brainwash anchors the space, infusing it with a playful, urban-chic energy.

Guest rooms and suites echo a coastal minimalist aesthetic, featuring rattan furniture, sleek marble accents, and pops of color from Sferra throw blankets. This thoughtful blend of texture and tone extends throughout the hotel, paying homage to Miami’s Art Deco heritage while delivering a modern, elevated stay. Bigtime Design Studios’ approach transforms The Gabriel into a standout destination for today’s luxury traveler—design-forward, art-driven, and rooted in the spirit of South Beach.
