BOSTON, Oct. 15, 2008 - Sonesta International Hotels Corporation announced today that Sonesta Sole Miami will be the newest addition to the Sonesta Collection. Opening in Miami this winter, the luxurious new resort developed by Wavestone Properties, makes the most of its spectacular beachfront location.

Located in Sunny Isles, the hottest new destination in Miami, the 249-room Sonesta Sole will offer 4-diamond services and amenities. The 23-story high-rise will feature a spectacular beach, a dramatic 2-story lobby, destination restaurant, rooms with floor-to-ceiling windows and individual balconies capturing sweeping views of the ocean and intercoastal waterway.

The resort will offer a swimming pool on the beach overlooking the ocean, a health club with several private treatment rooms, boutique
shopping, a fine-dining ocean-view restaurant, and pool bar & grille. The resort also features 5,000 square feet of meeting and event space. Guest rooms will highlight contemporary decor and luxurious amenities. 147 of the 249 guest rooms are two rooms with full kitchens. Guest rooms are steps to the ocean. A soft opening is planned in January.

Once known as the "Vegas of Florida" and a regular hangout for the Rat Pack, Sunny Isles has experienced a recent resurgence and re-earned its nickname "Florida's Riviera". Sonesta Sole is located at 17315 Collins Avenue, just minutes from Bal Harbour Shops and mid-way between Ft. Lauderdale and Miami International Airports.
