RockResorts Sets a New "Tempo" in Miami

Though RockResorts is known best for its fun-loving properties perched on snowy peaks in Colorado, the hotel chain's "first urban venture" is scheduled to open April 15, 2009, in white-hot Miami.

Sure, that's old news. But the most recent word from RockResorts is a fancy new name for the, uh, hotel formerly known as Eleven Biscayne, now known as--wait for it--Tempo Miami, a RockResort.

We know, a new hotel name, you can hardly contain your anticipation. Presumably, the modern moniker is intended to reflect Miami's pulsing beat and legendary sexy flava. After all, the 67-floor Tempo Miami will feature seriously swanky (read: $450 a night) digs, with 56 boutique guest rooms and 305 residences, as well as a restaurant called Amuse with a self-forecasted "ultra-stylish atmosphere, chi-chi clientele, and exceptional global fusion menu."

Plus, Tempo Miami will include an 8,000-square-foot spa as well as an infinity-edge sunrise swim spa and lagoon-style sunset swimming pool (we're not totally sure what any of that means either, but it doesn't keep us from swooning!). From its roost on Biscayne Bay, the hotel sits across from Miami's new performing arts center and adjacent to the Miami Heat's sports arena.

The announcement happens on the (snowshoe) heels of RockResort's completion of a $1.5 million spiffying up of its Vail resort's mountainside ballroom as well as a brand-new spa--complete with indigenous products and treatments inspired by its lofty environs.

And while we would normally be skeptical of any hotel's opening date--hotels don't have the best hotel delays--the Tempo is already encouraging guests to book their stay starting April 15th. Impressive.
