The Webster is a 20,000 square foot luxury multi-brand boutique located in the heart of Miami Beach, in a historical Art Deco building designed in 1939 by famed architect Henry Hohauser. The three-level boutique is devoted to fashion (men's and women's ready-to-wear and luxury accessories such as shoes, bags, jewelry and watches), photography and entertainment.
The ground floor is dedicated to luxury sportswear and young designers. Completely renovated with high ceilings and a modernized extension of the lobby, contemporary denim and t-shirt brands coexist with a selection of luxury sportswear lines and prestigious swimsuit brands. In the former hotel lobby, you can sit and have an afternoon coffee, tea or simply a glass of Champagne. The second floor is entirely dedicated to luxury fashion: men's and women's ready-to-wear, accessories, bags and shoes.
With voluminous natural light and a posh private residence feel, this lofty second story includes a cozy sitting room in addition to all of fashion's finest. On the third floor lays a gallery space and corporate offices, where rotating shows, fashion pop-up shops, and special events take place. The roof of the Webster offers a restaurant lounge setting with unobstructed views of the ocean.
