Accent on color: the new Hampton Inn and Suites in Miami’s Brickell district<\/p><\/div>\n

By Mark Chesnut<\/em><\/p>\n

Travelers headed to downtown Miami for a Florida vacation or business trip will find an attractive new option in the mid-priced range, since the opening this fall of the Hampton Inn and Suites Miami Downtown Brickell<\/a>.<\/p>\n

From the moment you walk into the high-ceilinged, sixth-floor lobby, you’re likely to notice the attention-getting decor, which includes original artwork, stylish Barcelona chairs and fresh, cheery —\u00a0 and decidedly Florida-inspired — colors.\u00a0The 221-room hotel combines elements that appeal to both business and leisure travelers, including free WiFi and hot breakfast buffet, a fitness center,rooftop sixth-floor swimming pool, a well-equipped business center with computers and printers and — of special interest to corporate types and perhaps those planning special events — more than 3,800 square feet of flexible meeting space.<\/p>\n

In some ways, this new Miami hotel is an interesting hybrid of Hampton concepts from the United States and abroad, where the brand is growing quickly. An attractive bar — which can be used for private business functions — opens onto the swimming pool deck, which offers sweeping views of Miami\u2019s impressive skyline. The bar facility, which will also offer snacks after the hotel\u2019s grand opening in November, is a more common feature at Hampton Inns in Europe and Latin America, where that type of amenity is expected at mid-range hotels.<\/p>\n

The Miami hotel is registered with the U.S. Green Building Council for LEED certification, with high hopes pinned on its environmentally friendly qualities that include a 36,000-gallon rainwater cistern, dual-flush toilets, low-flowfaucets and even charging facilities for electric cars. Offices in the Brickell financial district are within a few blocks, as are a variety of upscale restaurants and shopping options.<\/p>\n
