The National Hotel (also known as The National Hotel or National Hotel Miami Beach) is an Art Deco-style hotel on Collins Avenue in the South Beach area of Miami Beach, Florida. It is a member of the Historic Hotels of America program of the National Trust for Historic Preservation. It is 14 stories tall and is topped with a cupola painted silver. It was designed by American architect Roy France, who is credited for creating Miami Beach's skyline, having designed many of its hotels, in Art Deco and in Postwar Modern styles.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, the hotel "closed for nearly a year to redo the 116 rooms and suites in the Historic Tower and 36 Cabana units". Shayne Benowitz of the Daily Telegraph gave the hotel an 8 out of 10 rating, saying: The National Hotel is one of Miami’s legacy oceanfront Art Deco hotels on Collins Avenue, with an iconic 205-foot-long swimming pool, vintage travel-themed rooms and original mosaic tile murals by Jazz Age artist Tamara de Lempicka. The front is its Art Deco tower. Behind, the Mareva 1939 restaurant looks out onto the long narrow "infinity" pool running away towards the beach, sided by cabanas, pool-side tables, and a lower section of the hotel extendi
