The Countdown Begins: The Elser Hotel Toasts 250 Days to America’s 250th

On October 27, 2025, The Elser Hotel will officially kick off its “250 Days ’til the 250th Anniversary of the USA” countdown—a pre-season celebration honoring America’s upcoming milestone birthday with a signature Miami spark. 

Rising 49 stories in the heart of Downtown Miami, The Elser Hotel is a luxurious escape with incredible views and local flair. The sky-high tower, designed by Sieger Suarez Architects, reflects the aquamarine shades of the Atlantic Ocean, mirrored by its floor-to-ceiling windows. The celebration will come to life across the hotel’s 19,000-square-foot rooftop pool deck and event lawn—complete with a resort-style pool and private lounge areas that create the perfect backdrop for festivities all season long.

At Elser Bay Terrace, the hotel’s open-air bar and restaurant, guests can toast the countdown with The Firecracker cocktail—a patriotic blend of sweet red watermelon juice, a splash of cranberry, fiery jalapeño slices and zesty fresh lemon and lime. Balanced with smooth Patrón Tequila and blue curaçao, it’s a bold tribute to the colors of the American flag. Now through Independence Day, guests can return to enjoy one of the best views of the Biscayne Bay fireworks, celebrating America’s 250th anniversary—Miami style.

From its rooftop perch above Biscayne Bay, The Elser Hotel offers a fitting salute to America’s upcoming milestone—raising a glass to 250 years of history, spirit, and celebration.
