The Hilton Bentley Miami / South Beach at 101 Ocean Drive brings fresh flavor to Miami Beach’s exclusive “SoFi” neighborhood

 

MIAMI, Fla. – February 19, 2009 – While South Beach is notorious for its extravagance and decadence, beach goers seeking a calmer, more refined experience can find it South of Fifth. “SoFi,” as it is known to locals, is located on the southernmost tip of Miami Beach within walking distance of the heart and soul of Ocean Drive. The elite enclave is home to Miami Beach’s most affluent condominium residences, top-tier restaurants and the luxurious Hilton Bentley Miami / South Beach. The posh, all-suite Hilton Bentley offers a cultured blend of the best that South Beach has to offer.

 

“While South Beach hotels are known for the stark white, extremely modern look, the Hilton Bentley brings a more residential, European-inspired feel to the market,” said General Manager Ramon Antelo. “Our guests are those who want the top level of service, style, and comfort in a more laid-back, undisturbed atmosphere.”

 

Since becoming a Hilton in 2008, the hotel has made a name for itself with its sensual and sophisticated design, private pool and beach club, and most recently its new restaurant, Gaia Cucina Italiana. Gaia features the culinary creations of international chef Gaetano Ascione. From exquisite mozzarella appetizers to expertly-prepared fish entrees, guests and in-the-know locals alike have been raving about the authentic Italian cuisine. The style, service and cuisine at Gaia complements its well-established neighbors including Prime 112, DeVito, and Joe’s Stone Crab, to name just a few.

 

The Hilton Bentley has two sleek bars – one in the lobby and one in Gaia – perfect for kicking off a SoFi night before lounging under the stars at Nikki Beach, located just next door, enjoying live piano at The Cozy Bar or simply taking in a beer with the locals at The Room.

 

Guests seeking a more Zen-like mode of relaxation will soon be able to treat themselves at SPA 101 which is opening its doors in February. This intimate Asian-inspired facility offers face, hand and body treatments that are sure to sooth guests into tranquility.
