ALBFR2.jpg (15713 bytes)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.
