The Regent Bal Harbour

The first luxury hotel to debut in Florida’s Bal Harbour Village in nearly half a century opened its doors March 10, 2008. The new Regent Bal Harbour brought an unprecedented level of international sophistication and service—not to mention 3,700 square feet of meeting and banquet space—to one of the world’s most exclusive island communities. The 18-story beachfront Regent claims a coveted spot overlooking the open Atlantic, the boats of Baker’s Haulover Inlet, and Miami.

Executive retreats find themselves minutes from Bal Harbor’s prestigious shops, restaurants, and golf courses—a people-watching scene that rivals Beverly Hills and Monte Carlo. At The Regent they find an elaborate Guerlain Spa, a fitness center, a spectacular beachside pool with private cabanas, and the restaurant 1 Bleu for regional dining with a Mediterranean sensibility and ocean view. There are no packages available at this time. There are no hot dates at this time. Posted Mar 10, 2008 by Mbrooks
