Miami's Mandarin Oriental to proceed with layoffs, closure to make ...
The Brickell Key property will lay off some 430 employees ahead of its demolition to make room for a new two-tower hotel and residences complex.
www.hoteldive.comThe Spa at Mandarin Oriental, Miami is currently in transition as part of the broader redevelopment of the Mandarin Oriental, Miami property on Brickell Key. The original 23‑story hotel and its existing spa closed in May 2025 and were demolished via controlled implosion on April 12, 2026, to make way for a new mixed‑use flagship‑hotel and residence complex.[5][9][10]
What’s happening to the spa
- The new project, “The Residences at Mandarin Oriental, Miami,” will include a new Mandarin Oriental flagship hotel (North Tower) that is slated to feature a signature Spa at Mandarin Oriental as part of its 121‑key hotel and 66 private + 28 hotel residences.[9][5]
- The spa will sit within a roughly 100,000‑square‑foot “amenity podium” that also includes multiple pools, wellness decks with hot tubs and cold plunge, yoga lawns, saunas, and other wellness‑oriented spaces.[1][3][7]
Current status and reopening
- As of April 2026, the old spa is no longer operating, since the entire hotel was demolished and the site is in a six‑month clearance phase before new construction starts in fall 2026.[10][5]
- The new Spa at Mandarin Oriental in the North Tower is expected to open later in the construction cycle, but an exact soft‑opening or grand‑opening date has not yet been publicly confirmed in recent reports.[5][9]
