MIAMI, May 14, 2024
/PRNewswire/ -- Fontainebleau Miami Beach, South Florida's iconic oceanfront luxury
resort, will celebrate one of the most significant expansions in
its seven-decade history with the opening of the all-new Coastal
Convention Center in Q4 2024. Spanning five stories and 45,000
square feet, this state-of-the-art facility features a versatile,
modern design to elevate customized business and leisure events –
ranging from personal and intimate to grand, large-scale events –
within Miami's booming social and
convention tourism industry.
Conceived by Fontainebleau Development and brought to life by
Miami-based Nichols Architects,
and interior design firm Jeffrey Beers International, the Coastal
Convention Center blends elegance and modernity while paying homage
to Fontainebleau Miami Beach's rich brand heritage and the
architectural legacy crafted by original architect Morris Lapidus. As Fontainebleau prepares to
celebrate 70 years of timeless design and unmatched style this
year, the Coastal Convention Center marks a new chapter for the
storied resort, ushering in a new era of events on the beach.
"The Coastal Convention Center will be a jewel in the crown of
Fontainebleau Miami Beach and also this city's social and tourism
sector – a new, magnificent home for business and leisure events
along the oceanfront," says Fontainebleau Development Chairman and
Chief Executive Officer Jeffrey
Soffer. "This is the next evolution of our brand, further
solidifying our role as a global hospitality leader, and we look
forward to showing guests the world-class features and unparalleled
service that are synonymous with the name Fontainebleau."
The interior of the Coastal Convention Center reflects
Fontainebleau's legacy of luxury, with decorative art and murals by
Kevin Barry Art Advisory and Jean-Paul
Philippe throughout. The Coastal Convention Center will
feature a 16,500-square-foot divisible ballroom with an outdoor
terrace; a 9,500-square-foot junior ballroom; 15 total meeting
rooms; and 15,000-square-foot of pre-function space.
Standout features include a grand staircase that pays homage to
Fontainebleau Miami Beach's "Stairway to Nowhere;" floor-to-ceiling
windows that bathe meeting rooms in natural light; outdoor,
street-level meeting space; LED walls and wayfinders; and a
7,000-square-foot, flexible Tides Rooftop Terrace with scenic ocean
views.
With sustainability a top priority, the Coastal Convention
Center is being constructed to meet LEED certification
standards, including features such as insulated glass to control
internal temperatures and reduce energy use, and a rainwater
collection and recycling system to increase water efficiency.
The Coastal Convention Center is conveniently located just 12
miles from Miami International
Airport and 28 miles from Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International
Airport and is connected to Fontainebleau Miami Beach by a
one-of-a-kind pedestrian bridge – the only skybridge over Collins
Avenue – that links to the hotel's famed Trésor Tower.
