ATLANTA, Nov. 6, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- IHG®
Hotels & Resorts, one of the world's leading hotel companies,
announced today that the first Atwell Suites™ hotel is now under
construction in Miami. Expected to
open by summer 2021, the first Atwell Suites will be a 90-room
hotel located in Brickell, an urban neighborhood home to
Miami and South Florida's financial district, as well as
many foreign consulates. The hotel is part of a new high-rise,
mixed-use property which will also include a new 140-room Hotel
Indigo Miami Brickell. This property is owned by Francisco Arocha, Pedro
F. Villar, Albert Ovadia and
Sunview Companies.
Atwell Suites is IHG's newest brand, introduced in 2019 as a
design-led, dynamic, all-suites hotel brand optimized for longer
stays of up to six nights. The brand has been well received by
owners with 20 properties now under planning and development,
across the U.S., in vibrant markets such as Austin, Texas; Charlotte, North Carolina; Denver; and
Phoenix. Construction is expected
to begin on additional Atwell Suites properties in the coming
months.
Karen Gilbride, Vice
President, avid hotels and Atwell Suites™, IHG, commented: "We
created Atwell Suites as a result of continuous collaboration and
dialogue with an enthusiastic advisory board comprised of IHG
owners to offer travelers something truly different in the
upper-midscale space. The all-suites segment is fast growing and
remains very resilient with strong owner interest throughout 2020.
We congratulate Sunview Companies, and our other owners who have
been among the first to sign on to develop an Atwell Suites hotel.
We're excited to continue the momentum of this brand and look
forward to welcoming our first guests next year."
Albert Ovadia from Sunview
Companies, commented: "We're thrilled be the first to announce
an Atwell Suites branded property anywhere in the world. We know
the unique design of the Atwell Suites brand will appeal to
travelers exploring the Brickell neighborhood, which is one of most
lively and popular parts of Miami.
This new hotel is destined to be a destination due to its location
in the heart of the action, convenience for international travelers
to the various consulates and business, as well as proximity to the
world class shopping and restaurants Brickell offers."
The company has also released a variety of new renderings
showcasing the thoughtful design of the Atwell Suites brand
including the main lobby space meant to bring people together
around the breakfast area, lounge and bar; The Common (a
dynamic space on the second floor lobby inspired by coworking
lounges providing a place for guests to work and relax); and The
Study (a bookable meeting room that is tech-enabled with
everything needed for a productive meeting).
The Atwell Suites brand is designed for inspiration and for
guests who are seeking opportunities to discover, learn and grow as
they travel. Key brand hallmarks include flexible and enriching
spaces that help guests easily switch between work and rest,
surprising touches along the guest journey that create an
atmosphere that sparks connections and conversations, and a unique
approach to food and beverage, which is designed to transition
seamlessly from breakfast in the morning to an inviting bar and
lounge space for the rest of the day.
Atwell Suites properties will offer all suites which include
distinct zones for living and sleeping; a wet bar with undercounter
refrigerator, microwave, coffeemaker and bar sink; a work area with
a high-top desk; a pull-out sofa; an oversized vanity in the
bathroom; and a two-sided closet that can be easily accessed from
both the guestroom and the bathroom.
Since launch, IHG has moved quickly to take the Atwell Suites
brand from concept to reality, including fabricating a full hotel
buildout featuring public spaces and guest rooms at IHG's Design
Center in Atlanta. The company
invites potential owners and future guests to take a look "inside'
Atwell Suites with a virtual tour available here.
