Over the course of the next two years three Miami Beach hotels, Fontaineblue Miami Beach, Kimpton’s The Anglers hotel, and Versailles, will all undertake million dollar renovations in order to better serve customers and attract new business. The luxury hotel industry in South Florida has been booming lately, due to both the rising prominence of the area and the rebound in the economy, so in response hotel owners are embarking on expensive makeovers to their buildings in the hopes of capitalizing on this trend. Nichols Brosch Wrush Wolf & Associates has announced that they will be the lead architect on all three projects, which are estimated to cost approximately $20 million dollars a piece and should be
completed toward the end of 2016.
Scheduled improvements for Kimpton’s The Angler’s Hotel include expanding the existing five-story, 45-room building with a whole new tower, which will have 84 additional units as well as a lobby, a nearby lobby bar, outdoor gathering spaces, a have rooftop pool deck, and 1,400 square feet of meeting space so as to provide visiting business people with plenty of room to work. The Fontainbleau’s renovation plans also involve an expansion to their tower, which will be enlarged to include a two-story, all glass rooftop addition with nine luxury units comprised of either one or two bedrooms, a private roof top garden, and an outdoor pool. The final scheduled renovation will be on The Versailles Hotel, and will incorporate an interior design team as well the hired architects in order to both expand and refurbish the space. The plan is to add 22 brand new luxury residences while also recreating the exterior design of the building, so that the overall feel of the hotel is a bit more modern and high end, matching with the target cliental.
