  • Lifestyle Hospitality Capital (LHC) Group has acquired The Gates Hotel South Beach, in Miami, Florida, in an off-market transaction, securing a strategic hotel for its growing portfolio
  • Dean Group, an integrated lifestyle hotel platform actively expanding across Europe and the US, is a joint venture between LHC and funds advised by Elliott Investment Management L.P.

An investment vehicle managed and led by Lifestyle Hospitality Capital (LHC) Group, and backed by funds advised by Elliott Investment Management L.P., announced today that it has acquired The Gates Hotel South Beach. The 235-room hotel will undergo a transformative renovation, following which it will be rebranded as The Dean Hotel – Miami Beach. As the US flagship hotel of the Dean Group, the new design and concept will deliver a unique lifestyle hotel product and an exciting bar, restaurant, pool and rooftop experience.

The hotel will be operated under the Dean brand, part of the Dean Group which operates other leading lifestyle hotels such as The Clarence, The Mayson and The Leinster, as well as award-winning restaurants and bars such as Sophie’s, Ryleigh’s and Layla’s in Europe.

We are thrilled to have acquired such a high-profile hotel in the fast-evolving Miami Beach hotel market. The Gates Hotel South Beach offers significant potential for repositioning into one of Miami’s leading lifestyle hotels. This is an exciting first move for the Dean brand as it begins to build its presence across the US, following the recent expansion of the Dean Group into Munich and Berlin. Keith Evans, Founder & CEO of LHC
