The Cadillac Hotel, located at 3925 Collins Avenue in Miami Beach, was constructed in 1940 by the PJ Davis Construction Company and designed by well-known Miami Beach architect Roy F. France. The style of the building combines the distinct characteristics of both the Art Deco and Streamline Moderne style, the predominant architectural styles of Miami Beach architecture at the time.

Roy F. France designed more than twenty hotels and apartment buildings on Miami Beach, starting in 1935 with the Whitman Hotel at 31 st Street and Collins Avenue, built for Chicago industrialist William Whitman. Some of his other significant projects on Miami Beach include the National Hotel at 1677 Collins Avenue, the Versailles Hotel at 3425 Collins Avenue, the St. Moritz Hotel at 1601 Collins Avenue, and the Sans Souci Hotel at 3101 Collins Avenue. France was a hotel architect in Chicago, birthplace of the skyscraper, prior to moving his practice to Miami Beach to work on the Whitman project.
