MIAMI—Located alongside Collins Cana herel, Vintro Hotel South Beach has joined Curio – A Collection by Hilton as the brand’s second hotel in Florida.
“Vintro Hotel South Beach represents Curio’s spirit of individuality through local artwork located throughout the hotel, as well as its easy access for exploring the best South Beach has to offer,” said Dianna Vaughan, global head, Curio – A Collection by Hilton.
Owned by Encotel, LLC, the Art Deco-styled hotel features a large mosaic wall in the lobby, which embodies the relaxed vintage personality of the area. Other features include a rooftop sundeck with a jetted infinity pool, complimentary bike rentals, a library and pop-up art galleries. Mercedes van shuttle service is also available, as well as beach kits that include towels and two beach chairs.
The hotel’s history dates back to 1934 when it opened as The Park Avenue Hotel and housed approximately 50,000 troops training for the Air Corps Service during World War II. According to Hilton Worldwide, after the war, The Park Avenue Hotel added a restaurant and became one of the hot spots for Miami’s elite. The hotel later closed for many years until, exactly 80 years to the day from the original building’s debut, it reopened as the Vintro Hotel South Beach.
Guestrooms feature original artwork and a voyeur shower. Each of the 50 guestrooms and suites includes WiFi; a 46-in. HDTV with media hub; and two minibars. With a view from above the Collins Canal, the hotel's terrace, rooftop lounge and pool can host events for up to 50 guests.
The brand’s other Florida location is The Diplomat Resort & Spa Hollywood, which joined the collection in 2014.
