Swire Hotels, a division of Swire Properties, has announced that its new EAST, Miami property at Brickell City Centre, a mixed-use development in Miami’s Brickell downtown district, will open in 2015.

Designed by architecture firm Arquitectonica with interiors by New York-based Clodagh Design, the 263-room property will be the group’s first property in the US and the third hotel under the EAST brand.

It will also house 89 serviced apartments known as EAST Residences, with kitchen and laundry facilities.

The hotel will feature meeting rooms, common areas, banquet halls with bay views, an outdoor pool deck and plunge pool, a 24hr fitness centre, and wellness treatment rooms.

"We were ultimately able to select from among ten upscale hotel brands in choosing Swire Hotels’ EAST for our flag."

Additional facilities will include two restaurants, a poolside bar and lounge, and a rooftop destination bar.

The property will feature floor-to-ceiling windows, multi-control panel for blinds and mood lighting inside the rooms, complimentary Wi-Fi throughout the property, and the largest average room size among hotels in Miami.
