Meyer Jabara Hotels To Manage Cambria Fort Lauderdale

Danbury, Conn.—Meyer Jabara Hotels (MJH) has been selected to manage a new construction Cambria hotel in Fort Lauderdale, Fla., scheduled to open in 2020. Owned by Jai and Jessica Motwani, president and CEO of real-estate development group Hotel Motel Inc., the 97-room asset will be located at 2231 N. Ocean Blvd., across the street from the Auberge Beach Residences & Spa. The hotel will have beachfront access and views of the ocean and intercostal. Groundbreaking will begin once three existing motels are demolished.

“As a vacation destination that attracts more than 13 million people on average every year, we are eager to open this new Fort Lauderdale asset,” said Justin Jabara, vice president of development and acquisition for Meyer Jabara Hotels. “We are breaking the mold with this property. Designed as a simplistic, elegant retreat, this hotel will come to set the standard within the market. It will feature all the amenities that business and leisure guests have come to enjoy, such as an open concept lobby, unique restaurant and cocktail lounge, flexible meeting space, state-of-the-art fitness center, swimming pool, and retail space.”

“This management contract marks the sixth Cambria Hotels & Suites in our portfolio, and we are excited to re-enter the Fort Lauderdale market,” he continued. “Cambria is the ideal brand for the market with its industrial design, stylish rooms, business center conveniences, and highly-personalized service. We are delighted to continue our growing relationship with Choice Hotels International and look forward to seeing this stylish property come to life.”

Under the design focus of Jessica Motwani and Hospitality Furnishings & Design Inc., the Cambria Fort Lauderdale will evoke a coastal modern aesthetic. The raw, natural materials of stone and wood will be complemented with clean, soft, modern finishes that provide a therapeutic space for all guests. Sandy tans and cool greys mingle with deep cerulean bringing the relaxing beachfront into the space.

“The hotel will be minutes away from some of the area’s best attractions, including world-class dining and shopping at the Galleria Shops and Las Olas Boulevard, museums, and theaters. The Fort Lauderdale/Hollywood International Airport and Port Everglades also are close by,” Jabara added.
