MIAMI-Amid the high-rise luxury condos and the five-star hotels that pepper the skyline of Downtown Miami, the Hampton Inn & Suites Miami Brickell-Downtown is rising from the dirt. By mid-September, an affordable hotel will open its doors—just in time for the high season.

Property features include a 210-space parking garage offering parking for restaurant patrons, the availability of monument signage fronting SW 12 street, and close proximity to public transit options, including MetroRail and MetroMover. The hotel will feature a modern, upscale interior design reminiscent of a luxury property.

GlobeSt.com caught up with Bernard Wolfson, president of Miami-based Hospitality Operations—and developer of the Hampton Inn & Suites project—to discuss where the new Hampton Inn fits into the Downtown Miami landscape, how he secured the land and financing, and what’s next for his firm.
