Wellness & Retail Manager
The Shelborne By Proper
The Shelborne Miami Beach is an iconic Art Deco destination reimagined for a new generation. Rooted in Miami Beach history and energized by contemporary culture, the property is designed to be a social anchor for locals, travelers, hotel guests, and members alike. Our nightlife venues — including the Lobby Bar and the intimate Little Torch cocktail lounge — are intended to be lived-in, magnetic, and culturally relevant, not programmed from a distance.
Art, fashion, wellness, and music are central to Miami’s cultural identity and core to The Shelborne’s point of view.
