As the winter season draws travelers to Miami’s warm shores and the city prepares for the global spotlight events such as Art Basel Miami Beach, many visitors will discover a perfect retreat with the Eskape Collection.
Founded by architect and seasoned traveler Flavio Rossato, the company was born from a desire to create something he couldn’t find himself. “I was looking for a boutique hospitality management company, and I didn’t find one,” Rossato says. “So I decided to start my own, based on my experience as a traveler and as an architect.”
What began with a single project in 2013 has grown into a trio of celebrated properties, known for their luminous interiors, functional comforts, and welcoming, residential feel. The collection now includes 1818 Meridian House, the ABAE Hotel, and 6080 Design Hotel.
A Home for Art Lovers, Winter Sun Seekers, and Business Travelers
Eskape’s hotels—designed for real living—are built to match the pace of Miami’s busiest season. Each property offers calm, inspiration, and workspace-friendly suites ideal for visitors and business travelers alike, delivering both comfort and style.
Rossato explains the brand’s defining philosophy: “All rooms are designed as apartments… to offer a home away from home experience. I like guests to feel the spacious rooms, equipped with kitchen essentials, washer and dryer, balconies, floor-to-ceiling windows, and other amenities or comforts.”
Modern connectivity is also at the heart of the experience. “We prioritize connectivity by offering fiber optics and lightning-fast internet… and enhance interaction with guests through smartphone apps,” he says. Sustainability is equally important, reflected in the hotels’ energy-efficient certifications.
1818 Meridian House: The Ideal Base for Miami Art Week
Located just steps from the Miami Beach Convention Center—the hub of Art Basel—1818 Meridian House blends historic charm with modern tranquility. Built in 1956 and newly remodeled, the garden-lined boutique-apartment hotel immerses guests in serene, tropical surroundings before they even reach the lobby.
The interiors, finished with crisp wood tones, sheer curtains, and playful nods to its mid-century roots, offer a peaceful counterpoint to the bustling art fairs. With Studios, Junior Suites, and Two-Bedroom Suites, the property is perfect for artists, collectors, families, or business travelers attending Miami Art Week events.
And the location is unbeatable—two blocks from Lincoln Road, a short walk to the beach, and mere minutes from some of Art Week’s top venues.
ABAE Hotel: Chic, Elevated, and Exceptionally Convenient
ABAE Hotel, set on quiet West Avenue, offers a luxurious escape that balances privacy and access. The 45 one-bedroom and penthouse suites are modern, curated, and designed for long or short stays. The rooftop pool—complete with panoramic skyline views and underwater speakers—provides the perfect setting to recharge after a day of fairs or meetings.
Inside each suite, guests enjoy full kitchenettes, rain showers, Missoni bath amenities, king bedrooms, high-speed internet, and washer–dryer units—features that appeal especially to business travelers or extended-stay guests.
With Whole Foods just two blocks away and Joe & the Juice on the ground floor, day-to-day convenience is seamlessly integrated.
6080 Design Hotel: Contemporary Hotel Near the Beach and Bay
The newest addition to the portfolio, the 6080 Design Hotel, extends the Eskape philosophy into a sleek, contemporary setting near both the Beach and the Bay. Designed from the traveler’s point of view, the hotel captures what Rossato calls “effortless living,” blending smart functionality with crisp, modern style.
With 70 spacious suites, studios, one- and two-bedroom units, and penthouses, 6080 Design Hotel brings a refreshing, youthful personality to Miami Beach. Interiors are bright, thoughtfully laid out, and infused with the latest tech and luxurious amenities. Terraces open to calming views, creating a natural flow between indoor serenity and Miami’s coastal energy.
Guests enjoy the same detail-driven comforts seen throughout the Eskape portfolio—fresh, fun-loving touches, efficient layouts, and an atmosphere designed to make every stay feel naturally easy. Whether visitors are here for Miami Art Week, an extended winter escape, or remote work by the beach, 6080 Design Hotel offers a versatile, uplifting place to settle in.
Where Detail and Design Meet Comfort
Rossato personally curated the interiors across all properties, earning recognition within the boutique hotel space. But he notes the ongoing effort behind the scenes:“Consistency with the company’s culture… the way we deliver the rooms, cleaning, details like welcome cards, smell, light ambience, music.”
In Rossato’s own words, “We offer guests a home away from home, designed with care, comfort, and the modern traveler in mind.”
