MIAMI BEACH, Fla., July 2, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Miami Beach continues to rapidly grow as an international destination and based on traveler demand, is set to celebrate some of the country's most-anticipated hotel and restaurant openings this season.  From the re-imagination of Cadillac Hotel & Beach Club to the launch of iLov305, a culinary concept by Mr. 305 himself, Miami Beach will welcome a few new friends to the beach with the addition of luxurious hotels and fresh dining options, perfect for visitors looking to discover marquee experiences worth traveling for this summer and beyond.

"From the preservation of art deco treasures to celebrating local culture through innovative dishes and cocktails, these anticipated openings will add even more options for travelers to choose from during their stay with us."

Starting this summer, Miami Beach will expand on its reputation as a city like no other place in the world, connecting travelers to the essence of the city through the opening of must-stay and must-taste experiences including:

The Re-Imagination of the Cadillac Hotel & Beach Club – Say hello to vacation with a welcome popsicle from the hotel's signature shaved ice cart on arrival and take in the 70-year old hotel's art deco charm.  The 357-room hotel, set to open this month, will provide unique services and amenities including a signature Cadillac Concierge program, on-site photo booth and a poolside family movie night every Friday.

A Rooftop Glass Bottom Pool at Celino South Beach – Influence from the 1940's meets Latin flair at this new, 132 guest-room hotel, creatively comprised of three historic buildings on Ocean Drive.  Opening later this summer, guests will enjoy custom complimentary bicycles to explore, 24-hour room service, an in-room spa menu and culinary concepts rooted in coastal Mediterranean and Spanish Tapas styles.

Culinary creations and cocktails at iLov305 at the Bel-Air Hotel – Dale! American comfort food meets modern Latin cuisine and a 100-drink cocktail menu at Mr. 305's 9,000 square-foot, two-level space, complete with VIP rooms and DJ booth. Guests can head to a first-floor, Havana Club-inspired daiquiri bar or grab a welcome, hand-rolled cigar once this sure-to-be-hot spot opens later this summer season.

Fresh Seafood and Gin at Seawell Fish n' Oyster and Minnow Bar at the Kimpton Angler Hotel South Beach – Seafood and cocktail lovers can go for traditional raw bar items and thoughtfully-prepared dishes paired with herb-infused drinks, the brainchild of Chef Julian Garriga and veteran Bartender, Chris Resnick.
