Artecity Miami Beach

Own a piece of South Florida history at Artecity Miami Beach, at the site of the renovated Governor Hotel on 21st Street in Miami Beach. Built in 1937, the three-story building once played host to ritzy out-of-town guests. Renovated in 2008 to include new plumbing and electrical configurations, it has been restored to its former glory without losing any of its historic feel, says Josh Stein. Just take a look at the original mosaic fountain in the center of the courtyard to see how the old features have been updated and improved.

Each of the 61, one-bedroom units in the building comes with new impact-resistant windows and washer and dryer. The units boast high ceilings with newly designed Italian-style kitchens with stainless steel appliances. The bathrooms, too, take on an Italian design feel. Each has a floating glass shower.

Open to all guests are the complex’s two swimming pools, outdoor hot tub, the fitness center and spa. An outdoor garden surrounding the mosaic fountain is perfect for a peaceful afternoon reading. Artecity Governor is outfitted with a security system and offers valet to all residents. Like all of Josh Stein’s properties, the building is conveniently located next to several attractions including the beach, convention center and Lincoln Road.
