The hotel is in a 1940s-era Art Deco building with 160 rooms, a wellness spa, a fitness area, a sky bar terrace, a rooftop swimming pool, a Beach Club and a bar-restaurant.

The original Greenbrier Hotel (est. 1940) located on the peaceful Indian Creek Waterway on Miami Beach has been reimagined as the Palihouse Miami Beach.
