PALMA DE MALLORCA, SPAIN—ME by Meliá has opened ME Miami, marking its debut in the U.S.
The luxury lifestyle hotel provides 129 rooms across 14 floors, including two ME+ suites, many of which feature their own private balcony with views overlooking Biscayne Bay and Downtown Miami.
Situated on the 11th floor, the signature two-bedroom Suite ME offers guests tropical floor-to-ceiling vistas, as well as a private bar. Additionally, a Personality Suite is located on the 14th floor. ME Miami’s interiors will be a fusion of contemporary and innovative design with cream and gray hues, accompanied by bursts of gold and silver to reflect the city’s energy and vibrant personality, according to the brand.
The hotel is located in the epicenter of the city’s cultural hotspots, such as the Pérez Art Museum, Miami’s Adrienne Arsht Center and the Patricia and Phillip Frost Museum of Science. It will also be within close proximity to the Design District, midtown and the arts and entertainment community.
Global fashion photographer, Alberto Van Stokkum, has been commissioned by the brand to create a bespoke collection of artworks exclusively for ME Miami, which has been showcased on the first and third floors, as well as in ME+ suites.
Located on the 14th floor, ME Miami features two swimming pools: a main pool and infinity-edge lap pool with views of the bay, surrounded by sunbeds and cabanas. Bella’s Bar, a poolside bar and lounge, is also set to open this winter. It will serve cocktails and dishes from STK Miami, as well as music by notable DJs.
This fall, the hotel will launch ‘ME time’ at SKIN C, which offers a range of massages and spa services. Situated on the ground floor, the property features The ONE Group’s signature STK steakhouse restaurant, STK Miami, providing an array of reimagined classic American cuisine for lunch and dinner, accompanied by sets from resident DJs.
Other amenities include a 24-hour fitness center, with Techogym equipment. The hotel features 1,026 sq. ft. of meeting space available for events and conferences with audio-visual equipment and complimentary WiFi.
