1 South Beach is designed to pay homage to the natural elements and cultural origins of South Beach. Throughout the sanctuary, you’ll find locally sourced and repurposed materials, such as regional coral stone and beetle kill pine wooden wall coverings. A live green wall inside our ballroom showcases 1,200 growing plants that help purify the air, inspire serenity, and add beauty to the space. Each mindful material tells a story of a past life and inspires new beginnings.

Our sustainable and zero-waste cocktail program and dinner series highlight creative solutions, while our brilliant 1 Hotel South Beach team employs innovative techniques to divert food waste. From using spent citrus peels and coffee grounds to infuse liquors, to batching cocktails and cooling them in the fridge to prevent water waste — our diversion methods are not only sustainable, but savorable.

Catering menus designed by the hotel’s Executive Chef Juan Villa evolve with the changing seasons and pay homage to the fresh, local and seasonal ingredients, signature to the 1 Hotel South Beach culinary program. The hotel’s culinary team takes pride in their relationships with the local farmers, purveyors who supply their kitchens with high-quality, sustainably-made products.

Farmers across South Florida provide us with quality, fresh produce so our guests can savor the seasons while the hotel works to preserve the environment by purchasing locally.
