TRENDING HOTELS
PARK MGM - A FRENCH TOUCH IN VEGAS
A condo with intimate South-of-
France style bars and terraces…
not something one expects to find
in the centre of Las Vegas. But the
look and feel has been achieved in
the new Park MGM.
The Monte Carlo officially shed its name this
year with a major refurb and a new identity
– Park MGM – a welcoming social hub that
evokes the residential spirit, intimacy and
individuality of a boutique experience on a
resort scale. And with its central location,
Park MGM offers guests direct access to
what is quickly becoming the city’s premier
entertainment district, featuring T-Mobile
Arena, The Park and Park Theater.
A partnership between Sydell Group and
MGM Resorts International, Park MGM was
born from the collaborative vision of the
New York-based lifestyle hotelier and one
of the world’s preeminent destination resort
developers. When complete, the project
will comprise two new distinct experiences:
Park MGM, and a Las Vegas version of the
renowned NoMad, a standalone 292-room
hotel encompassing the tower’s top four
floors.
While a dramatic arboreal sculpture by
Brazilian woodworker Henrique Oliveira is
the focal point of the lobby, Park MGM’s
rooms evoke the essence of a private
apartment with a mix of thoughtful
touches, antique-inspired pieces, “found”
objects and original artwork by artists and
photographers from around the world
commissioned for each room by France’s

MIAMI
INTRODUCES
FIRST WALDORF
ASTORIA
Downtown Miami is set to have a prestigious new address, with
the arrival of a Waldorf Astoria project that will be one of the
tallest residential towers on the East Coast.
Designed by architect Sieger Suarez
and conceptual architect Carlos
Ott, the Waldorf Astoria Hotel &
Residences Miami is the fruit of a
partnership between New York-based
developer Property Markets Group
(PMG), along with Toronto-based
private equity and asset management
firm Greybrook Realty Partners, and
global hospitality company Hilton.
It will be located at 300 Biscayne
Boulevard in Downtown Miami.
“We are incredibly excited to partner
with PMG and Greybrook Realty
Partners to bring the first Waldorf
Astoria to Miami,” said Danny
Hughes, Executive Vice President
and President, Americas. “Miami
– a vibrant, dynamic and truly
cosmopolitan destination that draws
travellers from all over the world –
is the perfect market for our iconic
Waldorf Astoria brand.”
Recently, Waldorf Astoria launched
its “Live Unforgettable” campaign,
which combines True Waldorf
Service, iconic environments and its
guests’ desire to live in the moment.
This brand positioning falls in
line with PMG’s core principles of
creating innovative ways to offer a
truly unique result of luxury living.
By fusing these two entities, the
bar is being raised within the Miami
market in order to create a landmark
destination
