Miami Marriott revamps

Miami Marriott Biscayne Bay, part of Marriott Hotels, the signature flag of Marriott Bonvoy’s portfolio of 30 brands, has completed a full multimillion-dollar renovation project. As part of the design overhaul, the property is introducing refreshed and elevated amenities including a new coastal dining concept, Gold Coast Kitchen + Cocktails, as well as downtown Miami’s first M Club, the brand’s signature lounge.

“We have been working diligently to bring our property to a new, immersive and elegant appearance, with an elevation in service and overall quality,” said Julissa Kepner, general manager, Miami Marriott Biscayne Bay. “From our managing team to our exceptionally dedicated hosts, we are excited to welcome guests to the new Miami Marriott Biscayne Bay.”

Led by San Francisco-based Hirsch Bedner Associates (HBA) design firm, the property’s new look layers the area’s rich Art Deco history with the community’s distinctive personality.

Located at 1633 N. Bayshore Dr. and constructed in 1982, the 31-story skyscraper has long been a fixture of Miami’s tourism industry. The hotel now boasts 607 remodeled guestrooms and suites with a vibrant, oceanic design, many of which include a private balcony and all offer views of Biscayne Bay and surrounding cityscape. In addition, the property also has a reimagined lobby, a one-stop-shop convenience store The Market, and an expansive, two-tiered 18,000-sq.-ft. pool deck, ideal for special events and rentals and with views of both the cityspace and bay. Available beginning early this summer, this outdoor space will continue to roll out enhanced features, including a large grassed lounge area, private cabanas and a pool bar with a curated selection of tequilas and poolside dishes.

For on-site dining, the new Gold Coast Kitchen + Cocktails, located on the lower level facing the bay, features a bright, Streamline Moderne-inspired design with indoor and outdoor patio seating with Art Deco influences throughout. The restaurant features a thoughtful menu of coastal cuisine using locally-sourced ingredients. Complementing the culinary experience, the restaurant will also feature a unique variety of craft cocktails with a focus on rum and mezcal creations, as well as a wide selection of wines, champagne and a beer list with a selection dedicated to IPAs sourced from local breweries.

As part of the extensive renovation, Miami Marriott Biscayne Bay now offers guests access to downtown Miami’s first M Club—a brand signature at Marriott Hotels properties globally. The exclusive lounge is an ideal place to retreat, recharge and refocus, every day at any time. With panoramic views, the space serves complimentary refreshments, breakfast buffet, light bites and hors d’oeuvres in the evening, as well as private workspaces and dining areas.
