Play Hard
Here's where to find techequipped meeting rooms,
top-notch audiovisual, and places
to unwind afterward.
The Art Deco-meets-Mediterranean Revival
1 Lennox Hotel Miami Beach unveiled a
$100 million renovation last summer. The
Collins Avenue hotel's conference room, the
Patagonia Boardroom, is equipped with a
Polycom Trio smart conference phone and
EagleEye IV camera, and seats 12 people. The
upgraded pool area and pergola-covered pool
bar are suited for cocktail-driven events. In
a nod to sustainability, the hotel's 119 guest
rooms feature upcycled furnishings and
materials, Nosh Markt products, and William
Roam vegan body care. (1900 Collins Ave.,

Myles Restaurant Group-the company
behind South of Fifth staples such as
Prime 112, Prime Fish, Prime Italian, and
Prime Hotel-has opened Prime Private, a
6,000-square-foot private dining room and
restaurant featuring dishes from each of its
concepts. The interior boasts a 20-seat bar
and 200-seat space, as well as built-in screens

The Ritz-Carlton, Coconut Grove's food,
beverage, and event evolution continued
with the debut of Isabelle's Grill Room &

For events for 500 to 6,000 guests, consider these vast venues.
As part of its $620 million renovation, the
1 Miami Beach Convention Center unveiled
two new ballrooms in July 2019. The 60,000square-foot Grand Ballroom, located on the second
floor, features LED lighting and acoustical panels
to enhance sound quality, and can be divided into
half or thirds using air walls. In total, it holds
6,000 for reception-style events. It also has 18,000
square feet of pre-function space that can be used
separately for events. The 20,000-square-foot
Sunset Vista ballroom, located on the fourth floor,
connects both to pre-function space and a terrace,
bringing in natural light and views of the Miami
Beach skyline. Another element of the renovation project was a six-acre public park that opened
in the fall. Overall, the convention center covers
1.4 million square feet. (1901 Convention Center

A golf resort that has carried flags of multiple
hotel brands-most recently as Turnberry Isle

December 2018 as the JW Marriott Miami
Turnberry Resort & Spa. The resort now boasts
685 rooms with the addition of the 16-story
Orchid Tower with 325 guest rooms. Other

lobby, and renovated golf courses. Soff's, the new
lobby bar backed by the Cocktail Cartel beverage group, debuted in March 2019, flaunting
green velvet seating, smoky mirrors, and moody
low lighting. A second phase of renovations
later this spring will introduce the Tidal Cove
waterpark, along with 25 cabanas and two distinct
restaurants. (19999 West Country Club Drive,

performance spaces, and pop-ups. Behind the
socially-centered arch is a gravel-paved backyard
lounge area. Overall the venue can hold 500 for
reception-style events. Its green initiatives include
a Garnish Garden, tree planting partnerships,
