The Casablanca On The Ocean Hotel
The Casablanca On The Ocean Hotel is a beachfront hotel in the North Beach area of Miami Beach, Florida. The building dates from the 1950s and offers rooms with fully equipped kitchens, and some with small balconies facing the ocean or the surrounding buildings.
The hotel was built in the 1950s, a period when Miami Beach saw a wave of new construction along its coastline. A renovation completed in 2014 updated the interior while keeping the building's original structure and key design details intact.
The hotel's name calls to mind the 1942 film, giving the building a nostalgic feel that fits naturally into Miami Beach's mid-century story. The North Beach area where it stands has a slower pace than the southern end of the island, and that contrast is part of what draws guests here.
The beach is right in front of the hotel, so no travel is needed to reach the water. The front desk can help with local tips and transport arrangements, and South Beach is a short drive away for those who want to explore farther south.
The hotel entrance is decorated with pillars shaped like figures wearing white turbans, an architectural detail that survived the 2014 renovation. This kind of ornamental stonework was fashionable in the postwar resort style but is now rarely seen along the Miami Beach coastline.
