Wherever you go, these new and renovated hotels offer the sense of place you’re looking for.
Three unique destinations, each with their own charm. Three new and renovated hotels, ideal for small to mid-size meetings and committed to bringing that destination to life. From The Biggest Little City to the Atlantic Ocean, and a historic gem in-between, your next meeting destination awaits.
Your Base Camp for Big Ideas
New-build Hyatt Place South Reno brings nearly 2,000 sq. ft. of venue space to South Reno, amplifying the destination’s already ample attractiveness for meetings and events. The region’s newest select service hotel offers an ideal blend of comfort and convenience. Its location makes it that much better. Standing at the foot of the Sierra Nevada mountains, it’s 14 miles from Mt. Rose Ski Resort, making it perfect for that attendee who wants to work a little adventure into their visit. It’s also conveniently near the Reno-Tahoe International Airport and steps away from the Shayden Summit Mall, an ever-popular shopping, dining and entertainment option for locals and visitors alike.
The property design nods to the partnership between Jacob Davis, a Reno tailor, and Levi Strauss, which, in 1873, led to the creation of the blue jeans we know and love today. Throughout the business center, visitors will find original materials from the patent on display. The flexible event venues at the property all feature complimentary Wi-Fi, custom catering and state-of-the-art AV equipment. These spaces include the 617-square-foot Zephyr A and the 578-square-foot Zephyr B, which can be combined. The Silver Dollar is an additional 761-square-foot space. The 640-square-foot outdoor patio is ideal for scenic activations.
Guests can enjoy many modern amenities, like a 24/7 fitness center, a 24/7 late night menu and complimentary breakfast—not to mention, mountain views from each of the 132 guest rooms. Even more exciting amenities include an expansive heated outdoor covered pool, an outdoor patio and terrace with fire pits and golf club and ski equipment storage.
Reach for the Sky
Sonesta Miami Airport celebrates the completion of a multi-million-dollar renovation. The hotel centers Miami’s vibrant character in a convenient location only two miles from Miami International Airport. An art deco aesthetic comes to life with features like playful pink hallway doors and gold hardware. Each of the hotel’s 309 guest rooms feature upgrades that include luxurious, rich brown leather bed frames and colorful modern art pieces.
The renovation also transformed the hotel’s public spaces and amenities. There are plenty of opportunities to soak up the sun, from the expansive outdoor patio, which can also serve as an event space, to the rooftop pool and sun deck, featuring chaise lounge chairs and new private cabanas. Meetings and events have access to over 7,400 sq. ft. of flexible space. Options include two boardrooms, five 1,100-square-foot meeting rooms with built-in sound systems and the 3,300-square-foot Royal Palm Ballroom, which can be separated into three separate meeting rooms. The Front Room, formerly a restaurant, offers a bar, fridge and multiple TVs in a 2,100-square-foot, naturally lit space for exciting activations.
Along with the renovation, Sonesta Miami Airport debuted a new on-site restaurant, Tailwinds. The restaurant serves Latin-inspired dishes with a creative South Florida twist.
Innovation Among the Waterfalls
The opening of Canopy by Hilton Sioux Falls Downtown marks the Canopy by Hilton brand’s debut in South Dakota, as well as Hilton’s first lifestyle hotel in Sioux Falls. The riverfront location along Big Sioux River stands in the Steel District, a cultural hub in the city’s historic downtown. It also is within Falls Park, a 123-acre park in the center of the city. It offers easy access to the city’s convention center and is nearby numerous museums, art galleries and restaurants.
Proximity to the convention center isn’t all; the property offers nearly 20,000 sq. ft. of venue space of its own. This space includes 12 meeting rooms and a flexible 8,900-plus-square-foot ballroom. Meetings and events can take advantage of the abundant outdoor space, including patios and seating areas, as well.
Inside the property, guests will discover a comprehensive arts program centering locally-sourced work that celebrates the area’s heritage. Industrial and natural influences in metalwork tie the design together. Guests will also discover a mural by local Native American artist Holly Young in the lobby and multiple interactive pieces, including a piece that is part of the Downtown Sioux Falls Sculpture Walk. Plus, you can’t miss the baby grand piano in the lobby.
Each of the 216 guest rooms feature a barn door produced by Sioux Steel, and all offer the brand’s signature sleep experience, with the Canopy by Hilton canopy frame. Thoughtful touches like yellow barrel drums serving as nightstands nod to Sioux Steel’s signature color, and more artwork by Holly Young is displayed with the original ledger from Sioux Steel throughout guest rooms.
The property offers two dining options, with grab-and-go at Torrent Coffee Bar, and seasonal neighborhood-inspired Italian fare and a curated wine menu at Cascata Italian Cuisine, open for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
