Kor Hotel Group is well known for successfully positioning distinctive destination hotels that combine progressive design and elegance with dedicated attention to personalized service.

"We look forward to developing Kor's signature style and quality service standards at Tides," said John Arnett, president of Kor Hotel Group. "The property's historic elegance and stylish location complements Kor's boutique collection and will be a strong addition to our portfolio."

Kor Hotel Group's new enhancements at Tides will include its luxury amenities and distinctive, personalized services, as well as the implementation of Kor's centralized reservations.

Tides is Kor Hotel Group's first property outside of California, where the company's current signature boutique hotel collection includes Viceroy Santa Monica, Viceroy Palm Springs & Estrella Spa, Avalon Hotel and Maison 140 in Beverly Hills.

"Discriminating travelers seeking a more personalized hotel experience have come to know Kor as a hotel operator skilled at providing guests with a feeling of home at their distinctive properties," said Robert Falor, president and CEO of The Falor Companies. "We look forward to Kor extending its proven hospitality formula in Miami."

It is located at 1220 Ocean Drive Avenue, Miami Beach, Florida.

Kor Hotel Group officially assumes management of Tides on November 15.
