Ideally located at the intersection of Collins Avenue and Ocean Drive, the Royal Palm offers direct access to pristine white-sand beaches, the oceanfront boardwalk, and the cultural, dining, and entertainment energy that define Miami Beach—from Lincoln Road to Española Way.

This is a rare opportunity to be part of a landmark reopening and help bring a bold new vision to life from the ground up. Team members at Royal Palm will play a meaningful role in shaping the guest experience, building something truly special, and contributing to a culture rooted in creativity, collaboration, and elevated hospitality.
