How to Experience Miami Beach in Style with Lotus
In Miami Beach, the way you arrive matters as much as where you’re going. Now, The Shelborne is reimagining what that looks and feels like. Guests of this iconic property can now explore the city in a cutting edge all-electric Lotus Eletre Carbon, exploring Miami Beach in high-design luxury.
The Lotus House Car isn’t just transportation; it’s a statement, a seamless fusion of performance, design, and cultural access, where every journey becomes part of the destination.
Discovering Culture in Electric Style
The Shelborne’s exclusive partnership with Lotus introduces a bold new way to experience Miami Beach. Guests can ride in the Lotus Eletre Carbon, an electric SUV that merges aesthetic edge with next-gen performance. It’s transportation, elevated. A quiet, sculptural presence on the road. A space that wraps you in refined comfort as you move from one cultural touchpoint to the next.
The best part? There’s no app, no waitlist, no planning required. Simply visit the Front Desk, and you’ll be on your way. Whether you’re headed to a gallery opening or an architectural landmark, the ride itself is an experience, graceful, intuitive, and entirely complimentary.
Where the Ride Takes You
Miami Beach Botanical Garden
In a city known for sensory stimulation, the Botanical Garden offers a shift in tone. Designed for restoration and reflection, the garden’s native flora and curated installations provide a slower pace and a reminder that wellness, too, is part of cultural immersion.
Walk the shaded paths. Pause at the koi pond. Let the textures of the garden balance the energy of the streets.
Art Deco Historic District
No visit to Miami Beach is complete without taking in the architecture that made it iconic. The Lotus Eletre gliding past pastel facades is a study in contrast: timeless design meets future-forward form. A beautiful visual reminder of what it means to evolve, without forgetting where you began.
Lincoln Road
Lincoln Road transforms retail into ritual. One of the country’s original open-air promenades, a vibrant convergence of architecture, retail, and street-level culture. From designer storefronts to local galleries, it’s a place where creative culture and commerce coexist. Think of it as Miami Beach’s open-air salon, steps away, but a world of its own.
The Bass Museum
The cultural journey begins just minutes away at The Bass, Miami Beach’s contemporary art museum. As part of this collaboration, The Shelborne By Proper guests enjoy complimentary access to the museum. Just present your room key.
Inside, you’ll find a rotating program of global artists, immersive installations, and a curatorial perspective rooted in Miami’s identity as a cultural crossroads. Design, fashion, and multimedia experiences unfold inside the museum’s Art Deco-meets-modernist space, creating the perfect counterpoint to the sleek lines of the Lotus that brought you there.
Española Way
Next stop: Española Way. A short ride in the Eletre lands you in a Mediterranean-style promenade where art, history, and local flavor intersect. This pedestrian stretch dates back to the 1920s and still holds its creative pulse with contemporary galleries, independent boutiques, and open-air cafes that invite you to linger and observe the rhythm of the city.
From vintage finds to artisanal goods, the street blends past and present with effortless charm. Here, exploration isn’t scheduled. It’s discovered.
Sustainable Luxury Meets Cultural Responsibility
This partnership with Lotus is more than aesthetic, it’s aligned with a deeper ethos. Zero-emissions travel. Quiet propulsion. Performance without compromise.
By inviting guests to explore local institutions, historic districts, and creative neighborhoods, the service also uplifts Miami Beach’s cultural ecosystem. Every visit to The Bass, every gallery stop, every meal shared on Española Way supports the local creative economy and deepens your connection to the world.
