A Fresh Take on the Airport Hotel at the Marriott Miami Airport
To be perfectly honest, the phrase "airport hotel" doesn't conjure up the most pleasant associations. While they boast close proximity to the Arrivals and Departures gates, the overall experience usually pales in comparison to those hotels located in city centers. We're pretty sure the constant stream of planes flying overhead has something to do with this.
But Marriott be damned if they won't try to reform the image of airport hotels, namely by feeding $15 million into a renovation of their Miami Airport location. Our first peek at the Marriott Miami Airport reveals space age light fixtures, vaulted ceilings with bright paneling for openness, and row upon row of cushy chairs for businessmen to take power naps in pre-meeting.
The layout of communal areas around the lobby is meant to support both work and play, with a living room-esque feeling that invites you to actually take advantage of your surroundings and mingle with other travelers rather than retreat to your room.
Some of the more significant, helpful perks are communal tables with complimentary Wi-Fi, "trendy zones" (read: bar, and also what the Marriott calls a "media zone") where a Manhattan is never far from reach, the ever important in-hotel Starbucks, and the Latin-themed Cane Fire Grille.
If you'll be touching down in Miami and want to avoid tourist thronged hotel stretches near a city's epicenter, the new Marriott may not be such a bad choice. Book a stay through October 2nd and you can take advantage of the "Sneak Peek Package" deal ($129-$159 per room, per night), which includes a $20 daily food and beverage credit.
Bienvenidos a Marriott.
