Cipriani Gets Set for Miami 2009
Giuseppe Cipriani is bringing his famous restaurant to Miami and turning it into a hotel and condo where the old Saxony Hotel used to stand.
Travel + Leisure reported last month that the Cipriani Ocean Resort & Club Residences will have 209-rooms, with one, two, and three-bedroom condo units mixed in. These "suites" are for grabs starting at $700,000 a piece. There's word that a tower will be constructed next door to house another 65 private residences. And the decor will stay in la famiglia as Michele Bonan, the interior designer for the Ferragamo hotels in Italy, is slated to do Cipriani's design.
The NY Post reported back in December that the project will also sport a spa, fitness center, outdoor bar and grill, beach cabana and three pools, including one just for residents. However, while Cipriani could sell this place based on name alone, the Post says the building actually has something more powerful than that:
But what really sells the buildings are the views. Because the property sits on a topographical curve, every residence and all but two of the condo hotel units have water views.
Of course, expect a signature Cipriani restaurant in place as well. If everything goes as planned, the joint will open in Spring 2009.
