1 HOTEL SOUTH BEACH
A prestigious locale of Miami took the cake at this year’s Art Basel for innovative daily activations, VVIP crowds, Celebrities, Tastemakers and Art Aficionados
Events at the eco-chic 1 Hotel ranged from daily wellness-centric activations dubbed as “RETREAT,” to the “Ethikal” fashion pop up shop, whichfeatured the best ethical and eco-conscious brands; its killer “Basel Castle” nightlife performances from world renowned DJs including GuyGerber, ‘90s House legend Armond Van Heldon; and the Electro-funk duo Chromeo. The hotel was the first Miami location to feature the famed Daybreaker party – a huge NYC event that incorporates music, dancing and yoga — all before 1 p.m. Described as an hour long yoga session followed by a two-hour dance party without any alcohol, Daybreaker was a massive hit. Two of the hotel’s exclusive art and design events – one in partnership with Architectural Digest, and another for contemporary artist Daniel Mazzone, who is being dubbed as the “the next Andy Warhol” — were on everyone’s radar and attended by VIPs in the art world, international tastemakers and celebrities alike.
