Moxy Hotels inaugurated its first Miami property last month with the launch of the Moxy South Beach. Housed within an eight-story structure upgraded by locally based Kobi Karp Architecture & Interior Design, the chic hotel showcases an eclectic style informed by the glamour of midcentury Havana, the contemporary sophistication of Mexico City, and the timeless vibrancy of the Magic City.
