Where Luxury Meets Fun & Celebrities

 

Not only is Miami one of Florida’s most coveted destinations, hundreds of celebrities call this exciting city home. Gloria Estefan, Jennifer Lopez, Lenny Kravitz, Madonna, and Matt Damon are among the elite who have helped make south Florida’s iconic vacation spot as equally famous and fabulous as themselves. E! Network filmed “Kourtney & Khloé Take Miami” right next door to the Marriott Stanton South Beach… your number one choice for the most luxurious Miami getaway.

Nestled next to the beautiful Marjory Stoneman Douglas Ocean Beach Park, Miami-based Key International’s 224-room Marriott Stanton invites you to enjoy a stay worthy of the celebrity life—whether for just a romantic weekend escape or an extended spring break retreat.

Key International, owner of the Marriott Stanton South Beach, began a $22-million renovation to create what is now one of the most unforgettable Miami locales of unparalleled luxury. Stanton’s two-phase redesign transformed the boutique-style hotel into a Marriott International Inc. property with resort distinction, for those seeking an incomparable glimpse of South Florida.

Martin Brudnizki Design Studio, the brilliant New York-based architecture and design firm, spearheaded the Marriott Stanton’s renovation and brought the property a relaxing beach club atmosphere with midcentury décor that charmingly represents the Art Deco style of Miami.

Completed in 2013, the first phase of the overhaul included upgrades to the hotel’s lobby, guestrooms and suites, and meeting rooms. The resort’s newly-designed 2,600 square feet of event space, including the oceanfront terrace and the resort’s ballroom, is the perfect picturesque location for weddings, executive meetings, or celebrations. This year, the Marriott Stanton unveiled the completion of the renovation’s second and third phases, which brought improvements to the property’s Starbucks, Azabu, Marriot’s Japanese restaurant, the spa, and the fitness center, even incorporating specialty training such as functional fitness, movement specialists, and yoga classes to the lifestyle center’s programs.

This majestic oasis on Ocean Drive is where chic, South Beach glamour within the heart of stylish Miami meets the splendor of the sea. Classic and modern natural hues and earthy textures fill the atmosphere of the Stanton’s warm lobby with the calming echoes of beachfront living, beckoning you to explore the endless waters just steps outside. The shoreline meets sophistication in the ocean-inspired guestrooms, with spa-like bathrooms, private balconies opening to the ocean or the Miami skyline, and elegant décor that channels the soothing simplicity of the Atlantic in view.

During your stay at one of the few resorts with direct beach access, you can begin your day by taking a walk on breathtaking South Beach and spend a few tranquil hours in a beach cabana.

Bask in the sun at the Marriott’s two outdoor infinity pools, or treat yourself to an invigorating spa treatment, such as a marine algae facial or a hot seashell therapy.  At the Stanton Spa, 1,500 square feet of stress-relieving sanctuary welcome you to a paradise of body treatments curated by Aroma Therapy Associates. Enjoy the ultimate relaxation of the spa’s collection of unique massages, facials, scrubs, and wrap treatments as you unwind your senses.

The resort’s fitness center has everything you need to stay fit and health-focused on your Miami retreat, with a customized approach to guests, offering services designed with you in mind. Personalized one-on-one sessions, programs centering on weight loss, sports conditioning, strength training, and group fitness and yoga classes led by professional instructors will meet all of your fitness needs while on vacation.

While you’re soaking up the sun on the beach, visit Lola’s Surf Cantina, the parkside Mexican Restaurant, for a delicious lunch of authentic dishes created by Chef Richard Ampudia, a Mexico City native known as the “Godfather of Mexican Street Food.”

The Stanton’s Azabu, the Miami Beach location of New York’s famed Azabu sushi restaurant, boasts an innovative Japanese dining experience. Chefs Masatsugu (Masa) Kubo and Kenichi (Ken) Fujimoto combine quality ingredients and eye-catching presentation to fashion unique twists on Japanese classics. The restaurant features various dining concepts, including a full-service dining room and The Den, Azabu’s secluded sushi bar. In the Den, Tokyo-trained chefs serve sushi crafted with local and imported seafood, delivered fresh from Japanese fish markets. At Azabu, guests participate in an Izakaya dining style, ordering a tableful of sharable dishes, such as Robata-grilled Yakitori, Japanese fried rice, Udon, and other traditional Asian eats. For dessert, Azabu’s signature choice is the Japanese Raindrop Cake, a jelly made with Pearl Agar and water, served with kinako dried soy beans and Japanese brown sugar syrup. You can also enjoy a cocktail at Bar Azabu, which offers over 40 imported whiskies and sakes. The subtle, understated décor of natural elements and the quiet ambience of Azabu create the opportune place for a peaceful evening after a long day at the beach.

The Marriott’s exclusive location in SoFi—“South of Fifth”—provides guests with convenient access to the wonders of Miami’s shopping, dining, and nightlife experiences, as well as all the quintessential sights and sounds that make the sensational city the unique haven it has become.
