Why It Matters
One of the few true boutique hotels in Mid-Beach with genuinely oversized rooms (rare in this market) and a restaurant — Vecinos — that earns coverage from The Infatuation on its own merits. Built in 1940 by L. Murray Dixon, the architect behind much of South Beach's Art Deco identity. On the Historic Hotels of America registry.
A 71-room boutique hotel in a restored 1940 Art Deco building designed by architect L. Murray Dixon, sitting one block from the Atlantic in Miami's Mid-Beach (Faena District). The name comes from the French word 'trouvaille' — meaning a lucky find — and that spirit carries through to the whole place: oversized rooms for Miami Beach, a heated pool with a St. Tropez-meets-Miami vibe, and Vecinos, a genuinely good neighborhood bar that locals actually visit. It's quieter than South Beach, which is the whole point.
Where You'll Stay
7 room types available
Double Queen Studio
The Double Queen with a kitchenette added. Same 270-330 sq ft range, two queen beds with Bellino linens, and a kitchenette with microwave and fridge. Good pick for families who want to keep grocery costs down over a multi-night stay.
Two Queens
The Double Queen
Same comfortable formula as the King but with two queen beds for families or friends traveling together. Comes in at 270-330 sq ft. Fine linens, custom artwork, walk-in rain shower, and a mini fridge. Upgrade to the Double Queen Studio if you want a kitchenette.
Two Queens
The Grand Studio with Balcony
The most spacious option in the house. Three of these exist in the property (285-420 sq ft), each with a king bed, sitting and work area, kitchenette, and a private balcony. Fits up to 3 guests. For the space-conscious traveler who wants to live a bit more like a local.
King
The King
The entry-level room, but entry-level by this hotel's standards means 250-290 sq ft — bigger than most Miami Beach competitors charge a premium for. Custom furniture, curated artwork, plush king bed with Bellino linens. Walk-in rain shower. Clean, calm, and well-lit.
KingThe Studio King
A step up from the standard King room, adding a sitting area and kitchenette. At 265-285 sq ft, it's comfortable for couples who plan to eat in or stay a few nights. King bed with Bellino linens, minibar, 43" HDTV, walk-in rain shower.
KingThe Studio King with Balcony
The Studio King layout with the addition of a private balcony and slightly more square footage (285-350 sq ft). Good natural light. The balcony has bayside views. Best pick for couples — morning coffee outside with a view of Indian Creek is a genuinely good start to the day.
KingWork & Rest Studio
The most flexible layout for solo travelers or duos who need actual workspace. Queen bed, queen pullout sofa bed (fits a third guest), coffee table, dedicated work desk, and a kitchenette. The 265-285 sq ft range isn't the biggest in the lineup but the layout is smart.
