| US: IHG Hotels and Resorts has opened the first of its Atwell Suites brand in Miami
IHG’s newest brand Atwell Suites has opened a 90-room suite hotel in Miami three years after announcing the brand. The all-suites upper-midscale offering has been created to fill a growing need in the hospitality space for longer stays for both business and leisure travellers. The new Atwell Suites offering is located on the top floors of IHG’s Hotel Indigo Miami. The Atwell Suites offer all-studio suites featuring zones for living and sleeping, a public area with flexible spaces for working or socialising in the lobby, with complimentary freshly-ground coffee and bottled water on offer 24/7. Guests will also benefit from a complimentary daily hot breakfast and an evening bar serving sharing plates. Karen Gilbride, VP global avid hotels and Atwell Suites said: “IHG Hotels & Resorts is excited to open the world’s first Atwell Suites. This offering was created to be a stylish, design-forward brand that has been absent in the rapidly growing all-suites segment. We look forward to seeing the success of Atwell Suites Miami Brickell and opening more properties across the US.” Voted by Time Out as one of the “coolest neighbourhoods in the world”, Brickell, where the first Atwell Suites is located, is known for its world-class dining, arts, and entertainment. The area has shopping, nightlife, restaurants, and attractions, as well as the Port of Miami, FTX Arena, and Miami Metro rail. Pedro Villar, lead developer, Sunview Companies added: “The Atwell Suites all-suite design concept is the perfect complement to the Hotel Indigo Miami Brickell. Atwell Suites’ guests will be able to enjoy all that both brands have to offer under one roof, along with spacious suites and spectacular views of the city, a high-rise bar, and more. This offering is one that Miami has yet to see, and we are excited to be the first.” The Atwell Suites brand is available for franchising in the US, with both new build construction and conversion properties an option. There are currently 22 hotels in the pipeline across the US with an additional two anticipated to open in 2022. One will be a prototypical new construction hotel in in Denver, Colorado and the other will be a conversion in Austin, Texas.
