About The Moore

The Moore is a landmark destination in the Miami Design District, comprised of a private members club, hotel and a collection of restaurants, retail, exhibition, event and office space. Housed in the District’s circa-1922 Moore building, the reimagined, nearly 90,000-square-foot space integrates two, four-story structures located at the intersection of NE 40th Street and NE 2nd Avenue, and includes Elastika, the site-specific commission created by the late artist and architect Zaha Hadid for the inaugural Design Miami / exhibition in 2005.

The Moore’s core programming extends throughout the building’s four floors : The first floor is anchored by a public, all-day dining concept. The second floor will house The Club at The Moore, a private members-only destination inclusive of a restaurant, multiple bars, lounges and private dining and event spaces. Located on the third floor, The Workplace at The Moore offers leasable private offices, dedicated desks and limited communal workplace access. The Hotel at The Moore is located on the building’s fourth floor and offers 15 hotel suites that are available for member and non-member bookings. Additionally, the fourth floor is home to The Gallery at The Moore, a 4,500-square foot private exhibition and event space that overlooks the building’s iconic Elastika atrium.

The redevelopment of The Moore is led by boutique hospitality firm and operator, WoodHouse. Founded by entrepreneur Brady Wood, WoodHouse creates, owns and operates experiential concepts, ranging from private clubs, restaurants and hotels to live music and entertainment venues.
