Circa 39 Hotel, a vibrant, newly-renovated boutique property in the heart of the rising Mid-‐Beach area, is pleased to welcome Bryant Soriano as Hotel Manager. In his new position, Soriano will manage all hotel services and staff development at Circa 39, including front-of-house operations, administration, food and beverage, and hotel programming.
“I’m so thrilled to join this diverse team at such a unique property,” said Soriano. “Circa 39 is an eclectic, welcoming home where travelers can feel like they really belong to the Miami community – and discover the honest soul of this city beyond the glitz and glamour surrounding it.”
Inspired by and designed for explorers at heart, Circa 39 creates an enriching and authentic travel experience, encouraging guests to satisfy their wanderlust and discover the “real” Miami as they connect with locals and fellow travelers. Recently renovated from top to bottom in 2014, Circa 39’s globetrotting décor embraces an eclectic mix of styles, from beachside simplicity to tropical vibrancy, vintage charm and old world comfort.
From a food and beverage standpoint, Soriano will collaborate with Jennifer McDonough, Circa 39‘s Corporate Food & Beverage Director to oversee WunderBar, an eclectic craft cocktail bar specializing in international rums, and Jules Kitchen, a whimsical café serving globally-inspired comfort food cuisine. He will also be responsible for all aspects of the guest experience, including day to day functionality and performance of the hotel lobby, pool deck and housekeeping.
Most recently, Soriano served as Rooms Director at The Standard Spa Hotel since 2010, where he managed top level projects to improve room product and hotel facilities. He was also a member of the hotel’s Executive Committee, and ensured staff’s knowledge of hotel services, features and amenities. From 2008 to 2010, Soriano was Regional Revenue Director at André Balazs Properties, where he built the revenue management and marketing structure from the ground up. His extensive revenue and hospitality experience stems from working with Morgans Hotel Group for 10 years, initially in the front office, and later becoming the Regional Director of Reservations and then the Regional Revenue Analyst.
Bryant Soriano attended the Universidad Privada de san Pedro Sula College, located in Honduras.
