Those traveling to Miami for Art Basel (Dec. 7–10) and the several satellite fairs can find our newest issue of Whitewaller—a guide to the city’s top hotels, bars, and restaurants, alongside a list of top art fairs, exhibitions, and events not to be missed. A favorite each year is EAST, Miami—an inviting hotel greeting guests with special deign-savvy spaces, and a unique restaurant, bar, and shopping center, too.
EAST, Miami
EAST, Miami is Swire Hotels’ first North American venture following the openings of EAST in Hong Kong and Beijing. The hotel is an integral part of Brickell City Centre, which launched in November 2016 and is a 5.4-million-square-foot mixed-use development. The project also includes a luxury shopping center, two residential towers, and two office buildings. Celebrated Miami-based architects Arquitectonica designed the hotel, with interiors created by New York’s Clodagh Design. Los Angeles–based Studio Collective designed the signature restaurant, Quinto La Huella, and rooftop bar, Sugar. Guests can also experience local and international street life, art installations, and urban culture showcased throughout the property.
Whitewaller recommends: A drink at Sugar, the rooftop bar designed by Studio Collective.
