Hilton partners with Miami hospital for wellness hotel
Hilton is partnering with Miami hospital Baptist Health South Florida to open a 184-bedroom hotel with a wellness centre and farm-to-table restaurant on the hospital campus.
Operated by Interstate Hotels and Resorts, the Hilton Miami/Dadeland will include 34 bedrooms tailored to guests staying for long periods.
CallisonRTKL Inc., the architect for the hotel, has fused best practices from healthcare and hospitality design with an aim to create a welcoming, compassionate and uplifting environment for guests.
Recognising the Miami’s multicultural nature and the hospital campus' Mediterranean feel, the property will feature special design details, including Cuban tile, pineapple-themed wall art and textiles with abstract lines representative of the fruit's texture to add a touch of local style.
"We are proud that Hilton Hotels & Resorts will be a part of the Baptist Hospital campus, offering our world-class hospitality to all visitors in the greater Miami area, as well as patients and families who are in particular need of the comfort, convenience and amenities that we offer," said Matt Wehling, senior vice president, development - North America, Hilton Worldwide.
Hilton Miami/Dadeland is designed to complement the patient experience offered at Miami Cancer Institute, a new US$430m clinical and research centre that will house South Florida's first proton therapy centre, and the Miami Cardiac & Vascular Institute.
Hilton Miami/Dadeland will include a 6,200-square-foot ballroom, over 2,000 square feet of flexible meeting space, a health and wellness centre with a fitness room and heated outdoor pool, and a 24-hour business hub.
