Known for its colorful murals, art deco, hip vibe and Miami’s best nightlife scene, Wynwood is the city’s most vibrant district and is home to Arlo Wynwood. Hopeful street artists come from near and far to tag their names on the walls of Wynwood; to stand alongside some of the world’s best‑known street artists. The surrounding streets of Wynwood feature warehouses that have been converted to art galleries, restaurants, late‑night bars, artisan shops, and boutique clothing stores. Just 20 minutes from South Beach, Wynwood offers the ideal Miami urban escape.

Launching its fifth hotel in the portfolio, Arlo continues to break ground, literally and figuratively, with the first hotel in the Wynwood district. The 217‑room property, located at 2217 NW Miami Court, opened in November 2022. The hotel consists of 9 floors including a Penthouse suite, a spectacular rooftop pool with an outdoor bar, lounge chairs and four cabanas serving 360 views. The ground floor consists of a lobby lounge, retail shelves, grab and go bodega, as well as full‑served counter lobby bar and restaurant with indoor/outdoor seating. The 3rd floor hosts an outdoor courtyard with a bar and “beer garden”, a gallery space that converts into two flex spaces, interior bar with lounge spaces, a fitness room, exterior yoga deck, and a hospitality suite.
