Description:
Just a five-minute drive from the almost-adjacent Miami International Airport, this modern hotel with a European feel overlooks Blue Lagoon. Downtown Miami is six miles east. The Sofitel Miami caters to corporate travelers, offering lots of business services along with a French restaurant and bakery, pool and fitness center, and international newspaper kiosk. This hotel has 281 guestrooms. Room furnishings continue the French Art Deco theme, with clean lines, plush fabrics in rich colors, and comfortable seating areas. All rooms have fresh flowers, bathrobes, designer toiletries, and views of the lagoon. Wireless Internet access is available in the hotel’s public areas and high-speed (wired) Internet access is available in all guestrooms. Guests can access the Internet in both public areas and guestrooms for a $10 daily fee.
International business travelers have been making the Sofitel their home base since 1986, largely because of the hotel’s prime location in the Blue Lagoon business park and near the airport. Uniformed porters usher guests into a bustling, art deco-inspired lobby with marble floors, brightly colored modern furniture and fresh tropical flowers. A wall of windows facing the lagoon behind the hotel provides plenty of natural light to the multi-story lobby and lounge area. The French owners of The Sofitel Miami place a premium on high-quality food in the restaurant and attached French bakery, which stocks fresh pastries, cookies, and breads. An electronic kiosk in the gift shop prints personal copies of almost any international newspaper in the world; the gift shop itself carries candles, soaps, and other merchandise. A fitness center with free weights and exercise machines and an on-site lighted tennis court is available. The Doral Golf Course, home to the famous Blue Monster, is just 10 minutes away and open to the public; transportation may be arranged through the concierge.
