Summary
Wynwood Neighborhood Transformation
Miami’s Wynwood neighborhood has undergone numerous transformations. In the 1920s, it was the heart of the city’s garment industry. By the 1950s, it was dubbed Little San Juan, as a rush of Puerto Rican immigrants settled in the area. In 2009, a revitalization effort turned Wynwood into a vibrant space adorned with colorful murals, solidifying its status as one of the city’s most lively neighborhoods.
Introduction to Soho House Miami Pool House
In this dynamic environment, Soho House has launched its second Miami location, the Miami Pool House, situated at the edge of Wynwood and Edgewater. Initially opened exclusively to its founding members, it plans to welcome the full community by the end of March. For those exploring hotel options, the city’s first Soho House, the Soho Beach House, is 5.5 miles away, offering guests a luxurious stay.
Design Inspiration and Features
The Miami Pool House comprises three main structures: the Pool House, the Loft, and the Cottage, all oriented around a Palm Springs-inspired pool. This area bursts with color, showcasing pink-and-white pool tiles, vividly striped day beds, and tropical print loungers. The design pays homage to the 1920s with floral fabrics and also celebrates the neighborhood’s Puerto Rican heritage through its bright colors and bold patterns. This blend of history and modernity creates a visually stunning atmosphere.
Culinary Experience at Miami Pool House
The poolside venue serves more than relaxation; it features daily live music and a weekend market showcasing art and food from member-owned businesses. Moreover, to foster creativity—an essential principle of Soho House—the communal table will host art workshops led by local institutions. Breakfast and nutritious snacks are provided by the Cottage in the morning, transitioning into a pop-up dining experience in the evening. The restaurant, under the direction of executive chef Andrea Cavaliere, offers a menu that includes small bites like deviled eggs, along with larger plates featuring locally sourced seafood.
Art and Community Engagement
Throughout the one-acre property, an art collection enriched with 60 pieces—including paintings, installations, and murals—showcases Miami and Caribbean artists. The collection features talents like Woody De Othello, N. Dash, and Angel Otero. As with every Soho House, the Miami location emphasizes community through performances, workshops, talks, and fitness events in collaboration with local gyms. Additionally, the venue supports diversity through the Soho Fellowship program, providing opportunities for creative individuals from various backgrounds.
