Construction of First Atwell Suites Hotel Begins in Miami, USA

IHG has confirmed that construction of the the first Atwell Suites hotel has commenced in Miami, USA.

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.

The property is owned by Francisco Arocha, Pedro F. Villar, Albert Ovadia and Sunview Companies.

Albert Ovadia from Sunview Companies, said, “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.”

Atwell Suites is IHG’s newest brand, introduced in 2019 as a design-led, 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, said, “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.”

Suites at Atwell properties will feature 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.
