Sonesta Miami Airport completes renovation

​​Sonesta Miami Airport recently completed a five-month-long, multimillion-dollar renovation, which refreshed the 309 guestrooms and public space, while introducing a new on-site restaurant.

The extensive property makeover, which began in June 2024, was led by the design team at DiLeonardo and general contractor HITT.

The renovation’s completion was celebrated with a ribbon-cutting ceremony attended by local dignitaries, Sonesta Hotels & Resorts brand executives, hotel partners and members of the community.

“As an airport hotel, many of our guests are only with us briefly, but despite that, we wanted to create a space that feels welcoming and uniquely Miami,” said Alex Alvarez, the hotel’s GM. “From the vibrant colors and textures in our guestrooms to the authentic local flavors on our menus, every detail was designed to immerse guests in the spirit of Miami. Our hotel is not just a place to rest between flights; it’s an experience where you can truly feel the energy and culture of the city, even if you’re only here for one night.”

Amenities include a rooftop pool and sun deck featuring new private cabanas, an upgraded, 24-hour fitness center, an outdoor patio and more than 7,400 sq. ft. of meeting and event space.
