The Albion Hotel first opened in 1939 to widespread
critical acclaim. Igor Polevitsky, the creator of this sleek
property, was a Bauhaus devotee credited with the invention
of Nautical Art Deco architecture. Among Polevitsky's other
projects is the legendary Hotel Nacional in Havana.
After decades of decline, The Albion served as the
grungy local headquarters for Abbie Hoffman and Students
for a Democratic Society during the 1972 Democratic
National Conveion in Miami.
Rubbel Hotels purchased the property in early 1996 and
began a yearlong 10 million renovation by award-winning
avant garde Ecuadorian architect Carlos Zapata. In 1997,
the restored masterpiece opened on Valentine's Day to
renewed acclaim.
