The Roney Plaza Hotel was a grand Mediterranean Revival resort built in 1926 on Miami Beach, designed by the New York firm Schultze & Weaver — the same architects behind the Waldorf Astoria and the Sherry-Netherland. It stood as one of the defining resort landmarks of Miami Beach's 1920s boom years, when the city was being built almost overnight as an American answer to the Riviera.

The Mediterranean Revival style was the signature look of Miami Beach's grand 1920s resorts, and the Roney Plaza was one of its defining examples — a scale and stateliness matched by few other hotels of the era.
