The Goodtime Hotel

Branding a feeling at Miami’s hippest hotel

Imagine stepping off Washington Avenue into a candy-hued wonderland where every corner feels like a cinematic retreat. The Goodtime Hotel isn’t just a place to stay — it is a physical manifestation of vibrant nostalgia, high-design hospitality, and pure, unadulterated optimism. Conceptualized by international music icon Pharrell Williams and Miami nightlife titan David Grutman, this South Beach sanctuary redefines what it means to get away.

This is more than a membership. It’s about belonging — an experience that feels as much like home for the resident three blocks away as it does for the traveler landing from across the world. Because the best neighbors deserve the best seat in the house.

Edmond’s Honor Madagascar Vanilla Bourbon pours exclusively at Goodtime Hotel, and the welcome comes with something in hand: fifteen percent off your stay, complimentary valet parking, and two cocktails waiting when you arrive.

Branding a feeling.

Conceptualized by Pharrell Williams and David Grutman, Goodtime is a candy-hued wonderland where vibrant nostalgia meets Miami cool — pure optimism, high design, and good energy, all day, every day. It is a hotel that behaves like a neighborhood.

Behind the historic Art Deco façade — lovingly restored by architect Morris Adjmi to feature soaring 15-foot ceilings across 600 feet of continuous frontage — lies a design dreamscape curated by impresario Ken Fulk. Fulk weaves a whimsical tapestry of pastel pinks, pale mints, scalloped edges, and tropical motifs. It is an environment crafted to spark instant joy, where sun-drenched corridors and retro cabanas offer an aesthetic paradise designed to be lived in and shared with the world.

Strawberry Moon and Goodtime Sound.

Anchoring the entire experience is Strawberry Moon, a transportive pool club and restaurant that glides effortlessly from relaxed daytime sunbathing to high-octane evening energy. Pink-and-white striped daybeds surround twin turquoise pools, setting the stage for unforgettable afternoons powered by world-class dining and artisanal cocktails. For artists and creators, the energy extends indoors with Goodtime Sound, a best-in-class recording studio built right into the hotel’s creative core, bringing international music production directly into the heart of luxury hospitality.

An understated approach to luxury.

What truly elevates the experience is its understated approach to luxury. The branding — headlined by a subtle mark inspired by the Japanese arigato pose — stands back to let the atmosphere shine. Custom lowercase typography on translucent room keys serves as a passport to a world built around ease, care, and effortless cool. Whether you are retreating into a plush cabana, recording your next track, or dressing up for a night on the town, The Goodtime Hotel delivers on its simplest, most ambitious promise: an exceptional time, all of the time.

Two ways to meet the bottle.

The Old Fashioned is the study — bourbon, bitters, a slow stir, a wide cube — and it lets the Madagascar vanilla do the talking. The Espresso Martini sends the same vanilla darker: cold, bittersweet, and built for the hour when the light drops behind the palms.
