Hilton brings fresh flavour to Miami’s ‘SoFi’

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 starters to expertly-prepared fish main courses, 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 neighbours including Prime 112, DeVito, and Joe’s Stone Crab.

Also new at The Hilton Bentley is its lounge which is a true reflection of SoFi’s local, carefree vibe with a serene ambiance that guests can melt into as easily as the ice cube in their speciality cocktail. The Lounge is a fitting starting point to any SoFi night out, whether it’s lounging under the stars at Nikki Beach, located just next door; dancing all night at the exclusive Privé 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 this month. This intimate Asian-inspired facility offers face, hand and body treatments that are sure to soothe guests into tranquillity.
