Condo-Hotel Living at W South Beach
Ownership at W South Beach works like a luxury second home with a built-in income option. Because the building operates as a condo-hotel, residents who don’t live here full time can generate rental income through the W’s professional program rather than managing a vacation rental themselves. That flexibility (live, rent, or both) is a big part of why these residences rarely sit on the market long.
Inside, the design language is pure W: bold, modern interiors with open-concept layouts, sleek finishes, and oceanfront terraces accessed through sliding glass doors. Many units offer direct ocean views, and the building’s hurricane-rated construction and sound-dampening design keep the high-rise living experience quiet and comfortable.
An Iconic South Beach Location
From 2201 Collins Avenue, residents are steps from the beach, minutes from the shops and galleries of Collins Park, and a short stroll from the Art Deco District’s restaurants and nightlife. The location pairs the energy of South Beach with the polish of a five-star resort.
Shoppers comparing branded condo-hotels on the Beach also look at The Ritz-Carlton Residences South Beach, The Setai, 1 Hotel Homes, and Icon South Beach for sale and for rent.
W South Beach's Collins Avenue address at 22nd Street splits the island nicely: the Art Deco District and Ocean Drive to the south, Mid-Beach's quieter blocks to the north. Lincoln Road is minutes south, Joe's Stone Crab ($$$$) is the signature dinner, and the beach is out front. Prime 112 ($$$$) on Washington is close. Design-hotel buyers also consider 1 Hotel & Homes and Mondrian South Beach.
