The 235-room Aloft South Beach from Starwood opened in late May. The converted 1950s-era Art Deco motel on Collins Avenue preserves the building’s distinctive exterior architectural elements while updating the interior for modern needs. The property has 1,500 square feet of indoor meeting space as well as 5,000 feet of outdoor event space split between the ground-floor Splash pool deck and the third-floor Plunge pool deck. The hotel’s restaurant, Continental Miami, is the first Florida outpost of the Continental concept from Starr Restaurants. Guests can also gather at the W Xyz bar and Re:mix lounge.
Domino, a 10,000-square-foot barge, is newly available as an event space from Delta Powerboats Americas. The three-story glass and steel enclosed barge comes with a full kitchen, bathrooms, V.I.P. lounges, a bar, conference rooms, a theater room, and balconies. It can hold 221 people for reception-style events, and can be docked or can sit out on the water.
