Inspired by swaying palms, salt air, and beachfront glamour, the reimagined resort carries its legacy forward with a modern beach club spirit, unveiling new spaces, refreshed dining, and uninterrupted ocean views.

Perfectly positioned between Miami and Fort Lauderdale, this beachfront destination invites well-traveled couples and families to immerse themselves in elevated yet approachable luxury . Home to 1,000 guestrooms and suites, the property pairs elevated design with effortless comfort. Guests are invited to enjoy two oceanfront pools with private cabanas and daybeds, a semi-private beach and adults-only beach club, the Diplomat Spa + Wellness salon, and six refreshed dining and bar concepts, including the signature Diplomat Prime Steakhouse and the beachfront Latin-inspired Playa Beach Bar & Grill. The resort offers more than 200,000 square feet of flexible event space, including oceanfront ballrooms, open-air terraces and a 14,000-square-foot event lawn designed for gatherings of every scale.

Rooted in Signia’s five signature pillars—sophisticated design, destination dining, premium wellness and leisure, world-class meetings and service that is a step ahead—Signia by Hilton Diplomat Beach Resort captures the energy, style and spirit of today’s South Florida.
