What's Oldham Is New Again

Where: 1776 Collins Ave. [map], Miami Beach, fl, United States, 33139

It's been a while since Todd Oldham infused his own brand of whimsy into South Beach's The Hotel. But Todd's back on the beach, and this time he isn't working alone.

Oldham and James Beard award-winning Chef Tony Mantuano, from Chicago's Spiaggia Restaurant, are teaming up with developer and restaurateur Larry Levy to open The Fairfax, a luxury boutique and proposed fractional ownership resort. The property is currently undergoing extensive renovations and is scheduled to open in the fall of 2007 with fractional sales of the 53-suite property are scheduled to begin in November 2006.

Inspired by Chef Mantuano's unique take on Italian cuisine, Todd Oldham is custom-designing all aspects of the hotel and restaurant to reflect the whimsical, yet sophisticated flavors in Mantuano's cooking.

We guess this fashion-restaurant fusion was bound to happen but props to Oldham for not just slapping his designs and bed linens in these hotels and calling it his own.
