Our Story

A Legacy of Distinction

“Founded in 1997 with a singular vision: to create not merely a hotel, but a stage upon which the finest experiences of life could unfold.”

The Grand Lumière emerged from the imagination of visionary hotelier Henri Beaumont, who believed that true luxury was not about extravagance, but about the profound attention paid to every human need. Opening its doors on Miami Beach's most coveted stretch of coastline, the hotel immediately redefined the standard of five-star hospitality.

Nearly three decades later, The Grand Lumière has hosted presidents, royalty, celebrated artists, and discerning travelers from every corner of the globe — each departing not merely satisfied, but transformed by an experience they carry with them always.
