It will be located in close proximity to Miami Beach and minutes from the world-renowned South Beach and the Miami Beach Convention Center.
Aloft South Beach is being developed by JMH Development and Madden Real Estate Ventures.
Guests will enjoy an outdoor pool, roof deck lounge, a 24hr fitness centre and 2,349ft² of flexible meeting space for both business meetings and social gatherings.
It will be the group’s third Aloft property in Miami.
