Originally designed by Lawrence Murray Dixon, one of the principal architects of the Tropical Art Deco Style of the 1930's. In the 1980's the boutique hotel was owned by the founder of Island Records, Chris Blackwell, the label that signed Bob Marley and U2 then also housed South Beach Studios, where Aerosmith, Jay-Z and Pharrell Williams, among many others, have recorded their music. British Fashion Icon barbara Hulanicki designed the interior combining cool ocean hues with the vibrant designs of Jamaica, where Blackwell grew up.
