Miami Hotels Now Gorging on Food Fest Visitors

February 10, 2010 at 11:33 AM | by | Comments (0)

So, the Super Bowl is over and jubilant Saints fans hightailed it out of Florida to celebrate back home in New Orleans. But Miami isn’t crying over empty hotel rooms—it’s gearing up to fill them all over again with the upcoming Food Network South Beach Wine & Food Festival from February 25–28.

Many of SoBe’s hotels are hosting special events, the highlights being Paula Deen’s Kiss My Grits Sunday Jazz Brunch at the Loews Miami Beach Hotel, Wine Spectator’s Best of Best event at the Fontainebleau, and the Amstel Light Burger Bash at the Ritz-Carlton South Beach.

Unfortunately, room rates at most hotels are as high as the calorie count in whatever it is Emeril’s cooking up. Your best bet may be to book through the festival’s preferred travel agent—there’s a list of participating hotels on the website, ranging from the Catalina at $239 a night to the W South Beach for $429 a night.

That’s not cheap but over on Expedia the Catalina is $329 a night, and the W South Beach was not even available on festival nights through its own website.

Heading to the food fest? Let us know where you’re staying and don’t forget to send us your cheesy photos with Bobby Flay and Rachael Ray.
