October 26, 2019A brand new hotel is coming to South Beach, this time at the former Citibank branch, which has already been demolished. The Thompson South Beach hotel will accommodate 150 rooms, with a ground-floor restaurant, as well as a rooftop restaurant and bar next to a pool.
Also, on the ground floor will be a replacement to the Citibank branch, the former one was on the site since 1996.
