Launch

We spearheaded the complete transformation of a once-dilapidated hostel along South Beach's historic Española Way into a vibrant 145-room, 4-star lifestyle hotel featuring multiple F&B outlets.

We established and managed the hotel, ensuring a cohesive experience across hospitality operations and food and beverage services.

By showcasing local culture and the historic building's legacy, we created a dynamic destination that revitalized the area and earned a Michelin Key.

TESTIMONIALS

"James has taught me so much over the years. His vision, expertise, and the way he brings it all to life is inspiring. He really is a 'hospitality producer' in every sense, and I’m proud to call him both a friend and a mentor."

Adam Leonti
(Chef, Alba and Cucina Alba, LA/NY)

 

"I've known James for nearly 20 years, having worked with him on the Bowery opening. He's a true one off with the X factor that creative types need, the rare ability to excel in both the creative and the operational stuff, quite rare and impressive. Plus, he can play the bass line to any pop song you throw at him, so he wins on every front."

​Johnny Christ
(Director of Sales, Hotel El Roblar, Ojai, CA.)
