through his string of Standard hotels. Ocean Drive Magazine refers to the holistic and hydrotherapy spa hotel as “an oasis of comfort and serenity”. It opened in 2006 in a building originally constructed in 1957 to house The Lido Spa. Balazs transformed the antiquated property, maintaining allusions to its origins – the wholesome, organic restaurant is referentially called Lido. The hotel’s general aesthetic scheme is something of a juxtaposition of the authenticity of an old world European bathhouse and the sleek, coolness of Scandinavian design. Its 105 guestrooms, including one “Full Spread” suite that reaches 52sqm, are graced with minimalist, Scandinavian design and cool slate-coloured walls, lending an air of calm and refinement to the experience of each stay. The guestrooms range from “Dry” to “Lush” and finally to “Wet” while also varying in size within these categories.
After a long day of yoga, lounging by the pool, swimming laps, being pampered at the full-service spa or sitting in the hammam, perhaps even more notable for guests are the exquisite Lido Restaurant + Bayside Grill both offering the best in health-conscious, Mediterranean-inspired cuisine and biodynamic wines.
