Synonymous with chic beachfront gatherings in Miami Beach, Florida, Loews Miami Beach Hotel dedicates 65,000 square feet of newly renovated space to events. Up to 7,000 people can gather in the 27,600-square-foot Americana Ballroom, where floor-to-ceiling windows frame the emerald lawn, South Beach sand, and Atlantic Ocean. Similar windows in the Poinciana Ballroom overlook the palm-lined entrance on Collins Avenue. Thirteen smaller conference rooms complement numerous parlors and suites ideal for business hospitality.
A true South Beach icon, reimagined, the oceanfront resort’s $50-million transformation culminated in December 2016, redefining the experience for groups and individuals alike. The hotel’s fresh new face starts at the porte-cochere, where a water wall and comfortable seating provide a preview of things to come. Inside, the lobby more than doubled in size. Outside, the enhanced pool now features adult-only cabanas, plus Soak cabanas and daybeds, for a quintessential South Beach experience.
Today, as ever, all 790 accommodations come with sparkling views. But inside, the brilliance comes from all-new furnishings, carpet and custom linens, high-def TVs, and iHome docking stations. The reimagined bathrooms incorporate sleek modern lines and marble showers with mosaic tile details. Last, but not least, today’s five restaurants and bars include Lure Fishbar, a new Preston’s Market, and the award-winning Miami Joe Coffee Co. Elsewhere on the property, Exhale Spa serves as another destination of its own with its 16 treatment rooms, salon, sundeck, and variety of fitness classes.

Hotel has great location in South Beach! The meeting space is very good with great outdoor options. The bqt staff is very good and the bqt food is also very good. I found the room accommodations to be small. It is difficult to find gym. The gym is very crowded because it has its own local membership. Some gym classes are packed so be sure to reserve your spot.
This hotel sits right in the middle of the South Beach action. I attended a corporate function at this hotel and the attention to detail was stupendous. The event was spectacular and the hotel made it so. The grounds are immaculate and beautiful - very lush and tropical. The only downfall I see is that since it is right in the middle of south beach, you may hear a lot of street noise from the sleeping rooms and having a meeting there may be a little difficult because of the distraction of the hotel only being steps away from the beach. But I will sacrifice myself to that cause any day because it is THAT beautiful!

Incredbile food! City side rooms on lower levels get a lot of street noise (south beach never sleeps...apparently they just drive up and down Collins Avenue all night long) Great beach and pool - water sports available on site.

Loews' New Baggage Buy Back Program Will Reimburse Guests for Airline Luggage Fee
Posted May 30, 2008
AS AMERICAN AIRLINES TACKS ON ADDED FEES, LOEWS HOTELS HELPS TRAVELERS TACKLE THE HIDDEN COSTS OF AIR TRAVEL
-- New Baggage Buy Back Program Will Reimburse Guests for Airline Luggage Fee --
New York (May 22, 2008) " On the heels of American Airlines announcement today that it will begin charging a $15 fee for travelers first checked bag and the likelihood that other airlines will follow suit, Loews Hotels introduces a new Baggage Buy Back incentive that will reimburse guests for their $15 checked baggage fee. Arriving guests need only present any airline bag fee receipt at the front desk to receive the rebate, which will be issued in the form of a credit to their bill at check-out. The Baggage Buy Back rebate is available at Loews 18 properties in the U.S. and Canada, beginning June 15 through Labor Day, September 1, 2008. Loews Hotels will offer credit for up to two bags for a maximum of $30 per occupied room per stay.
In just the last few months, airlines have added myriad new fees to cover rising fuel prices, said Jonathan Tisch, Chairman and CEO of Loews Hotels. At Loews Hotels, we want to demonstrate to our guests how much we appreciate their business and one way we can do this is by helping them rein in some of the hidden costs of travel that are becoming increasingly common.
Headquartered in New York City, Loews Hotels owns and/or operates 18 hotels and resorts in the U.S. and Canada. Located in major city centers and resort destinations from coast to coast, the Loews portfolio features one-of-a-kind properties that go beyond Four Diamond standards to delight guests with a supremely comfortable, uniquely local and vibrant travel experience.

Loews Hotels Elevates the Banquet Experience with the Industries First "Wines by the Glass" Program
Posted May 30, 2008
LOEWS HOTELS ELEVATES THE BANQUET EXPERIENCE WITH
THE INDUSTRYS FIRST WINES BY THE GLASS PROGRAM
-- Traditional choice of red or white gives way to broad range of premium, organic, and locally-sourced wines, at three price points --
March 17, 2008 (New York, NY) " Loews Hotels goes beyond the generic red or white at banquets with the introduction of a new wines-by-the-glass program that allows banquet and meetings guests to enjoy their choice of varietal. The first hotel to chain offer a wine-by-the-glass program in banquets, Loews Hotels now features a broad wine selection at three different price points.
The program enhances the traditional banquet experience by introducing a restaurant style of service and a wine list to match, said Ellen Burke Van Slyke, Corporate Creative Director of F&B, Loews Hotels.
Along with the traditional Chardonnay and Cabernet Sauvignon, the new banquet bar wine list offers a selection of Sparkling wines, a White Zinfandel, Pinot Grigio, Sauvignon Blanc, Shiraz, Merlot and Syrah.
In creating the wine list, Loews turned to winemaking families who have been producing wines for over 100 years to ensure the highest quality. The list also showcases vineyards that engage in sustainable farming. The process began with a list of 400 wines, based on reputation, availability and price point. It was then narrowed to 65. Loews conducted a blind tasting with a panel of 12 experts, including three food & beverage directors, two executive chefs, a certified sommelier, a Master French chef and five other decision-makers. The resulting winners, including several organic and locally sourced wines, were selected to best represent the sophisticated palates of the wide spectrum of our banquet guests, said Van Slyke.
Arranged at three different banquet tiers, with one price per glass of all six wines on each tier, the selection of 16 wines includes:
Select Tier
Kenwood Yulupa Brut
Caposaldo Pinot Grigio
Tunnel of Elms Chardonnary
Forestville Shiraz
Hayes Ranch Cabernet
Sutter Home White Zinfandel
Premium Tier
Chandon Brut Classic
Bancott Vineyards Sauvignon Blanc
A by Acacia Chardonnary
Sandstone Merlot
14 Hands Cabernet
Sutter Home White Zinfandel
Luxury Tier
Taittinger Cuvee Prestige Blanc
Tangent Sauvignon Blanc
Paraiso Chardonnay
Brindlewood Syrah
Trinchero Family Cabernet
Sutter Home White Zinfandel
The move reflects an appreciation of our guests more sophisticated preferences, as well as our desire to continually meet and, indeed, exceed their expectations, she continued.

Loews Miami Beach Manages To Stay Fresh After A Decade
Posted March 3, 2008
Loews Hotels CEO Jonathan Tisch has a special place in his heart for the 800-room Loews Miami Beach Hotel.
He calls the largest hotel in South Beach his baby.
"From the minute this hotel opened, it has consistently been one of the bellwethers for Loews," said Tisch, who was in town for the South Beach Wine & Food Festival. "It's at the top of the list."
Before the Loews Miami Beach opened a decade ago, there hadn't been any new hotels in South Beach since the 1960s. To resuscitate stagnating tourism, the city of Miami Beach entered into a public-private partnership to build a hotel for the Miami Beach Convention Center.
"We had bids from every major hotel chain," Greater Miami Convention and Visitors Bureau President and CEO William D. Talbert III said. "We had Hyatt, Hilton, Marriott .... It was fierce competition, but we knew the Tisch family as some of the greatest hoteliers in the country."
The family owned the Americana Hotel in Miami Beach, which later became the Sheraton Bal Harbour. They were well known in the South Florida community, and the affinity paid off with the success of Loews' South Beach outpost.
"Before Loews, there were no new hotels," Talbert said. "After Loews, there were 60. They jump-started the hotel industry countywide."
The hotel did so well it was able to buy the city of Miami Beach's portion of the partnership two years ago, and has since become fully private. But the guest structure at the hotel hasn't changed: About 60 percent of its business still comes from groups, many of them in town for conferences at the Miami Beach Convention Center.
The hotel's reliance on pre-booked conferences may help insulate it from the oncoming recession. Debbie Castillo, the hotel's regional VP of sales and marketing, said conference-related bookings are made up to 18 months in advance, and noted she has not seen a dip in occupancy rates.
Still, Tisch said he is closely monitoring the economic situation and travel patterns, and will adjust room rate increases if he sees a downward shift in occupancy.
