MIAMI
W Hotels Worldwide announced the expansion of its Florida portfolio with the opening of W Miami, formerly Viceroy Miami. W Miami is located on Brickell Avenue at the epicenter of downtown Miami.
W Miami will join W South Beach in the greater Miami area.
"Miami is a destination made for W, from the emerging designers and graffiti artists to the incredible music scene, and we're excited to reimagine this great property as a W right in the beating heart of this vibrant city," said Anthony Ingham, global brand leader, W Hotels Worldwide.
W Miami is the centerpiece of the ten acre bayfront ICON BRICKELL mixed-use development known for its two-acre infinity pool and modern spa, with interiors designed by Kelly Wearstler.
The hotel offers 148 guest rooms and suites, as well as 38 residential units that are serviced by the hotel. W Miami will undergo a renovation to create the W brand's signature W Living Room on the hotel's fifteenth floor overlooking Biscayne Bay. Additionally, the rooftop and its 50th floor vistas will be transformed into a glamorous sky-high destination, with the brand's cocktail lounge and WET deck.
Known as the “Manhattan of the South,” Brickell is one of Miami's buzziest neighborhoods, balancing towering financial centers alongside luxury condos and shopping. Directly across the street from W Miami, Brickell City Centre will boast multiple upscale restaurant and retail options.
With the W South Beach and W Fort Lauderdale, W Miami marks the third W in Florida.
