MIAMI—Nobu Hospitality and Eden Roc announced plans for the Nobu Hotel within the Eden Roc Miami Beach. The Nobu Hotel and Restaurant will be a ‘hotel within a hotel’ comparable in tactic to the highly successful Nobu Hotel at Caesars Palace Las Vegas.
The strategy with the Nobu Hotel at Eden Roc is centered upon underscoring and showcasing the Eden Roc name with the Nobu Hotel as an additional offering within the Eden Roc property. The Nobu Restaurant at the Eden Roc and other core food and beverage facilities are in the process of being planned and will involve all stakeholders. David Rockwell of the Rockwell Group has been selected as the designer.
“Through utilizing the professional capability, luxury positioning and global appeal of Nobu Hospitality we are enacting part of our orchestrated plan to further re-establish the Eden Roc Miami Beach as the ultimate destination in Miami taking into the consideration all of our stakeholders,” said Diego Ardid, principal of Eden Roc.
Destination Hotels and Resorts will manager the new Nobu Hotel, in addition to continuing its management of the Eden Roc Miami Beach.
“The Eden Roc is an extremely special property from its history, design, and the Eden Roc name itself. We will be working carefully with the current ownership and in collaboration with Destination Hotels and Resorts and associates in embracing and reinforcing the Eden Roc name and property,” said Trevor Horwell, chief executive of Nobu Hospitality. “Each of our shareholders Chef Nobu, Robert DeNiro, and Meir Teper have very fond personal memories of the property, and we are all passionately driven to see the Eden Roc name and legacy return to its former glory embracing with genuine respect and care, the style and integrity of the original Eden Roc crafted by Morris Lapidus.”
