Blending New York influences with the tropical vibe of Miami, the iconic Mayfair Hotel & Spa -- poised in hip Coconut Grove -- unveils a new layer of haute with the Oct. 2 opening of rooftop Cabana One Pool Club & Lounge and late October opening of famed New York steakhouse Angelo & Maxie's. Gaudi-inspired design and an unpretentious ambience define this eclectic enclave, complete with an orchid-filled, open-air atrium and Japanese soaking tubs on private bougainvillea-covered terraces.
Situated on the rooftop of the legendary Mayfair Hotel & Spa, Cabana One Pool Club & Lounge is the vision of New York public relations guru Ron Berkowitz and New York restaurateur Josh Lebowitz. Enticing guests with panoramic views of Biscayne Bay partnered with Gaudi-inspired design and an unpretentious ambience, Cabana One is a chic, tropical escape from the hustle and bustle of South Beach. Among the 7,000 square feet of space, a floating cabana roof and planks of teakwood comprise the bar area while a serpentine bench built into the parapet winds around a fire feature and billowing white curtains enclose eight private cabanas with L-shaped sofas, flat screen TVs and private safes. Cabana One is also the only club to offer Nintendo Wii centers coupled with high end bottle service.
The famed New York steak house Angelo & Maxie's opens its second location at the Mayfair, replacing the current Ginger Grove restaurant. Angelo & Maxie's is known for its friendly atmosphere, perfectly seasoned steaks and American abundance at moderate prices. Reminiscent of an old Cuban sugar mill, the restaurant features vintage stones, extensive millwork and La Cantina doors that open up into the open-air atrium.
Additional updates at the Mayfair include lobby renovations. A floating island reception desk located in a private enclave of the lobby welcomes guests to Mayfair, while minimal lounge furniture opens up the lobby, creating an overall inviting space. To coincide with the design of Angelo & Maxie's, the extended lobby bar conveys the same mill and stonework, recreating the sugar mill decor.
The Obadon Hotel Group, owned by real estate moguls, the Schlesinger family, and based in Palm Beach, recently acquired Mayfair Hotel & Spa. In less than two years, Obadon has added four of the hottest South Florida properties to its portfolio, including The Brazilian Court Hotel and The Omphoy Beach Resort in Palm Beach and Mayfair Hotel & Spa and Traymore Hotel in Miami.
With a single entry door set in an arched panel of richly carved Honduran mahogany, Mayfair Hotel & Spa is an eclectic Art Deco/Nouveau enclave with 179 suites, featuring Japanese soaking tubs and chaise lounges on private alcoves. A fully sustainable Jurlique Spa provides a holistic approach to rejuvenation and relaxation.
