The 375-room property, built in 1953, features more than 20,000 square feet of meeting and conference space, a 16,000-square-foot spa, and two poolside lanai wings. Morris Lapidus designed the building, which went through a $200 million restoration in 2003. The Lowenstein family bought the hotel, formerly the Di Lido, in 1971, according to a press release about the renovation.

Lionstone CEO Alfredo Lowenstein partnered with New York-based Flag Luxury in 1997 to rebrand the property at 1 Lincoln Road as a Ritz-Carlton. Previous sales information is not available in county records.

Lionstone, which maintains principal ownership of the hotel, also developed the EPIC Hotel & Residences in downtown Miami and the Ritz-Carlton Bal Harbour. – Katherine Kallergis
