Wowee, the Autograph Collection is the hotel portfolio that just won't quit. The latest Miami additions to the fold--Blue Moon and the Winter Haven Hotel--have barely settled into the family and now today comes word that the Turnberry Isle Resort will also get the Autograph Collection treatment.

Not even a year ago, this sprawling resort in Aventura (just north of Miami Beach) was a Fairmont property--that is, until management kicked the brand to the curb.

Now, Turnberry Isle has the honor of becoming the third South Florida hotel to join the Autograph Collection--and the 32nd property to be added to the brand's roster.
