MIAMI
The Gale South Beach & Regent Hotel will re-launch on Dec. 4, 2012, following a comprehensive $35 million restoration. Originally built in 1941, the historic property is located in the heart of South Beach at 1690 Collins Avenue.
The hotel's new design, developed by architecture firm ADD Inc Miami, features imported white Italian marble, custom designed light fixtures, luxurious leathers, European oak and walnut woods and a color palette of beach-inspired tans, antiquated chestnut browns, deep cerulean blue and crisp whites with metallic accents throughout. The lobby includes an ornate, triple-recessed diamond walnut panel set behind a replicated mirrored Art Deco desk, while a private 5,000-square-foot rooftop deck offers an infinity pool and views of the city and ocean.
Maintaining its original name and structure, Gale South Beach & Regent Hotel will feature reclaimed limestone and terrazzo flooring from its previous incarnation, hints of the lavish 1940's Shagreen embossed leather in a variety of custom furniture pieces, exact replicas of entry light fixtures, 1940's-inspired staff attire designed by Noble Uniforms and a collection of vintage South Beach photographs and memorabilia from the early 1900's displayed throughout the property as well as in the guest rooms and suites.
The intimate boutique hotel will feature 87 certified green rooms and signature suites offering luxury Italian linens, marble bath appointments, a 55" high-definition LED television with expanded 90 channel HD lineup on the latest IBAHN system, iHome docking station for the latest iPad technology, fully-stocked minibar, high-speed wireless Internet access, room service, fitness center, access to two complimentary chairs at Shelborne Beach Club and nightly turn-down service.
Gale South Beach & Regent Hotel's inviting public spaces will offer a collection of food and beverage venues by LDV Hospitality including Dolce Italian and The Regent Cocktail Club. Set within the entrance of Gale South Beach, Dolce Italian's modern design complements its approachable menu and contemporary take on Italian classics. For spirits enthusiasts, guests can venture to Regent Hotel's foyer to experience The Regent Cocktail Club – a classic cocktail bar meets lounge, embodying the property's historic simplicity and elegance from the 1940's.
In anticipation of the opening, guests who reserve their stay between Dec. 4, 2012 – Jan. 31, 2013 will receive an exclusive 20 percent off the best available rate.
The property is managed by Menin Hotels, a Miami-based hospitality company.
