Zaha Hadid's sinuous white sculpture 'Elastika' was already hanging in the Moore Building's atrium when most people arrived to see art fairs. The Hotel at The Moore, which opened in 2024, has simply made the sensible decision to let guests sleep inside the same building. Originally constructed in the 1920s as a furniture warehouse — the ghost lettering on the facade still legible from the street — the four-story, 90,000-square-foot structure was designed by David P. Davis in a Mediterranean Revival commercial style, its arched brickwork and corner articulation giving it the bearing of something more civic than industrial. Studio Collective, working in collaboration with ICRAVE, claimed the entire fourth floor for 13 residential-scale suites, each running between 700 and 1,000 square feet. The interiors feel calibrated to hold their own against Hadid's presence below without competing with it. Rooms are finished in warm Venetian plaster, with chunky ribbed wooden bed platforms set on pale oak floors, hand-tufted rugs in earthy florals, and sculptural dressers in cream lacquer with brass hardware that carry a certain 1970s Italian amplitude. Bathrooms glimpsed through open doorways reveal freestanding soaking tubs against travertine-clad walls. The bar on the same level runs a long polished slab of grey-veined marble across fluted walnut millwork, lit from below and strung with globe pendants on brass armatures. The effect, throughout, is of a private apartment installed inside a piece of Miami cultural infrastructure.
