ME by Meliá has launched its first luxury lifestyle hotel in the United States of America in vibrant Downtown Miami. ME Miami is located in the epicentre of the city’s cultural hotspots, such as the Pérez Art Museum, Miami’s Adrienne Arsht Center and the highly anticipated Patricia and Phillip Frost Museum of Science. It will also be within close proximity to the thriving Miami Design District, Midtown and the Arts & Entertainment community.
The luxury lifestyle hotel boasts 129 spacious 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 luxurious Personality Suite is located on the 14th floor. ME Miami’s interiors will be a fusion of contemporary and innovative design with cream and grey hues, accompanied by bursts of gold and silver to reflect the city’s energy and vibrant personality. Upcoming global fashion photographer, Alberto Van Stokkum, has been commissioned by the brand to create a bespoke collection of artworks exclusively for ME Miami, which have been showcased on the first and third floors, as well as in ME+ suites.
