The Carillon Hotel & Spa and the Carillon Residences are a group of three tall, fancy buildings in North Beach, Miami Beach, Florida, United States. This complex used to be known as Canyon Ranch Miami Beach. It sits right on the beach, on the east side of Collins Avenue, between 68th and 69th Streets. These buildings are a mix of hotel rooms and homes.
What is the Carillon Complex?
The Carillon Hotel & Spa complex includes a few different parts. There's The Carillon Hotel & Spa North Tower, which is the tallest. Then there's The Carillon Hotel & Spa South Tower. In between these two towers, on Collins Avenue, is The Carillon Hotel building. There were also plans for a new building called Golden Sands Canyon Ranch.
The Towers and Their Heights
The Carillon Hotel & Spa North Tower is the tallest building in the complex. It has 37 floors and stands about 121 meters (around 400 feet) tall. It was finished in 2008. This makes it one of the tallest buildings in Miami Beach. The North Tower looks like two separate parts, but they are actually connected and form one building.
The Carillon Hotel & Spa South Tower is also quite tall. It has 22 floors and is about 78 meters (257 feet) high. This tower was also completed in 2008.
A Bit of History
The Carillon Hotel building, which is located between the two towers, has an interesting past. It was originally built in 1955. For 15 years, this building was empty. But in 2007, it was completely updated and became part of the Carillon complex.
There was also an old hotel called the Golden Sands Hotel and Lounge. This building was taken down to make space for the proposed new Golden Sands building.
