Sitting on theworld-famous SouthBeach,
next toMiami’s iconicOceanDrive, is the
Royal PalmSouthBeachMiami, aTribute
PortfolioResort. The art deco-style resort
has almost 100 suites anddates from 1939.
While its service and
luxuryextras(including
two swimming pools
surrounded by luxury
cabanas) have been
modernized through a
$43million renovation,
the hotel preserves
many of its original
signature elements,
such as the compass
rose on the terrazzo lobby floor, the green
glass receptiondeskandportholewindows
in the lobby, whichhave been restored by
interiorarchitectLaurenRottet.
This summer the resort welcomed a
new restaurant: Byblos Miami. Headed
by executive chef Stuart Cameron, Byblos
focuses on easternMediterranean cuisine,
and combines locally sourced ingredients
withcookingtraditionsfromMorocco,Turkey
and the rest of eastern
Europe. “The sharing
styleofMiddleEastern
cuisine isabig influence
at Byblos and plays a
bigpart inhow you eat
at the restaurant,” says
Cameron. “My favorite
dish at Byblos is the
Manti Dumplings. It’s
traditional and takes
skill tohand-makeeach littlesmokyeggplant
dumpling. They’re cooked inahouse-made
yogurt sauce and the end dish is creamy,
smoky and toppedwith a sweetmolasses.”
