This landmark project, developed in collaboration with Urban Network Capital Group, introduces a new era of hospitality-infused living to the heart of Miami’s dynamic Brickell District.
Strategically located at 1120 SW 3rd Avenue, minutes from I-95 and the iconic Brickell City Centre, Meliá Miami Brickell will feature 110 exclusive residences that seamlessly blend wellness, luxury, and the signature service of a world-class hotel. This innovative concept redefines urban living, offering a unique opportunity to experience the best of both worlds—private homeownership with the benefits of a fully serviced hotel environment.
At Meliá Miami Brickell, every residence is a masterpiece of design and comfort, curated to reflect Meliá Hotels & Resorts’ unwavering commitment to excellence and wellbeing. For the brand, wellness is not just a trend—it is a way of life. Meliá Miami Brickell will embody this philosophy by offering residents and guests a curated set of experiences and tools to care for themselves and embrace a transformative lifestyle that extends far beyond their stay.
From plush linens to curated art and bespoke furnishings, each space is a testament to Meliá’s dedication to detail. Guests and owners alike will enjoy access to premium amenities, including an infinity pool, wellness center, concierge services, and elevated dining experiences—all within a boutique-style atmosphere that feels both intimate and indulgent.
At the heart of the project’s design is a commitment to elegance and cultural authenticity. The common areas will be brought to life by the internationally acclaimed Adriana Hoyos Design Studio, known for its refined aesthetic rooted in nature and Latin American heritage. Meanwhile, the residences themselves will be crafted by Concepto Taller de Arquitectura | Interior Design, ensuring a harmonious blend of sophistication and functionality throughout.
The launch is part of Meliá Hotels International’s commitment to the Branded Residences model, a growing segment that merges real estate with luxury hospitality. The company has already implemented this concept in standout destinations such as ME Dubai and Gran Meliá Villa Le Corail, and is currently developing similar projects in Seychelles and Budva, Montenegro.
This new development strengthens Meliá’s presence in key U.S. destinations, alongside INNSiDE New York and Meliá Orlando Celebration.
According to Gabriel Escarrer, Chairman & CEO of Meliá Hotels International, “We are incredibly proud to mark Meliá’s entry into the North American branded residences market with such a forward-thinking project, and this is an extraordinary opportunity for Meliá to become a relevant player in this country, where the branded residences model is already well established and thriving. Over the past years, we have worked tirelessly to elevate and differentiate our brand portfolio, particularly in the premium and luxury segments. Today, that effort positions us as the ideal partner for high-end residential developments that seek to combine the best of hospitality and real estate.”
With Meliá Miami Brickell, investors will benefit from a professionally managed hotel program designed to optimize returns and simplify ownership, where units are eligible for inclusion in a rental program, allowing them to be offered to hotel guests when not in use, creating a dynamic, dual-purpose space that serves as both a personal sanctuary and a high-end accommodation for global travelers.
