A Look Inside the SLS Brickell as They Prepare for Opening Day
August 13, 2016 by Lucas Lechuga
October 3rd is the big day. The SLS Brickell will officially be open, although the site is very clearly still under construction. We were lucky enough to get a hard-hat tour of the project from bottom to top this week and wow! Brickell is in for a treat! Here are some of the highlights from our outing:
The residential lobby has a really cool textured finish on all of the walls and the ceiling.
The hotel lobby has a dramatic curved staircase & direct entry to Fi'lia, Michael Schwartz's newest restaurant in Miami. They will serve 'honest Italian food,' according to their instagram profile @filiarestaurant. (Check it out for pics of the plates).
Speaking of Fi'lia, here is a snap of the progress in the restaurant. It will have an open kitchen and be the more casual of the restaurants in SLS Brickell.
Up on the pool deck, things are coming along with the poolside restaurant and the signature Philippe Starck duck already in place. The pool deck has 2 large pools, a reflection pool and 2 jacuzzi's along with cabanas and the restaurant.
Along side of the pool deck is the start of the meeting rooms. We anticipate many distractions from those meetings with the views of the South Brickell skyline and all of the action from the pool. But, what do you expect from Miami?
Up top, the residents will enjoy a private pool deck that they will not share with the hotel guests. (Sorry, guys. You have to pay to play.) This deck is on the 54th floor with crazy views all around.
The penthouses have private rooftop terraces with their own private pools.
Back down on the ground level, we toured Bazaar. That is the more fancy seafood restaurant that will have custom tile murals with mermaids, leopards, boating wildlife and all kinds of fun things. The spot will also have a fish tank and separate sushi room.
They already have plenty of parties booked, including a farewell party for a certain much-loved Miami Heat player.
The residences should start closings as well in October, but are pending their TCO (temporary certificate of occupancy). Currently there is only 1 unit remaining, a 50th floor penthouse for $1,698,900.
The hotel is already booking rooms, with a crazy introductory rate of $200/night! I'm sure that won't last long, but get it while it's hot! See you there!
