Miami Sound Machine fans, you can soon stay in Gloria Estefan's new hotel. The Latin pop singer held a ribbon cutting ceremony for her new hotel Costa D'Este in Vero Beach yesterday. The hotel will officially open to guests on Monday.
The Palm Beach Post reports:
The Vero place has a distinct Miami Beach look, with porthole windows and Art Deco shapes. Rooms will run about $190 when the place opens to the masses Monday and up to $350 in season.
The hotel will also feature a beachfront restaurant, Oriente, which will serve Cuban cuisine of course.
This is actually Estefan's second hotel. She already runs the Cardozo in Miami. We bet we know what's gonna be on the iPod playlists in these hotels.

There's tons of hotel news flying around this week and we don't have time to give each and every story the love and attention it may deserve, so you will have to settle for some news briefs.

Robert DeNiro must be a pretty confident guy. After just opening a hotel which shall not be named last month, he's going to do it again in NYC's financial district. The NY Post reports:
The "Raging Bull" star - who already owns several restaurants and hotels - will open a Japanese-themed condo-hotel complex in Financial District. His Nobu Hotel will offer condos as well as hotel rooms, a spa - and, not surprisingly, a Nobu restaurant.
The hotel on 50 Broad St. will have 140 units, half of which are condos. The hotel minibars will hold green tea and sake will be available from room service. And we assume, we're still blacklisted from this place too.
· Gloria Estefan joins DeNiro in that silly crowd of celebrities turned hoteliers. The Miami Sound Machine frontwoman will be opening the oceanside Coste d'Este Resort in Vero Beach, FL this June.
· The Borgata in Atlantic City has officially gone smoke-free. Tri-state area lungs rejoice!
· Hilton Hotels has partnered with French luxury cosmetics and toiletries company L'Occitane to redesign the hotel company’s full service spas, menu of services and spa product offerings.
· NYLO Hotels have broken ground on their third hotel. Located in Irving, Texas it will be called NYLO Las Colinas. NYLO Warwick in Rhode Island is set to open this July.
