Kimpton’s EPIC Hotel, the top-rated hotel for luxury, style and service located in downtown Miami, today announced a two-year partnership with the Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts of Miami-Dade County. As an official preferred hotel of the Adrienne Arsht Center, EPIC is now offering preferred pricing on its guestroom and suite accommodations to guests who stay at the waterfront hotel immediately before or after an Adrienne Arsht Center event.
Just minutes from the Adrienne Arsht Center, EPIC will offer 20 percent off its best available rates. Also included in this offer are complimentary daily morning coffee and tea service, as well as complimentary daily hosted evening wine receptions and state-of-the-art fitness center. When booking, use rate code AHC.
“This is a natural partnership because EPIC and the Adrienne Arsht Center share the same passion for the arts, entertainment and the community,” said EPIC’s Eric Jellson, area director of sales & marketing. “We are very excited to take our relationship with the Adrienne Arsht Center to a new level in 2011 and to showcase the hotel’s dynamic offerings to a global community that come to the Adrienne Arsht Center for theater and special performance events.”
With a thriving arts and culture scene, downtown Miami is quickly becoming the community art hub of the “Magic City.” EPIC takes art appreciation to another level with its artfully designed spaces by Cheryl Rowley, and its in-house multi-million-dollar art collection featuring works by such renowned international and local artists as James Brown, Roberto Matta, Dario Basso, Fernando DeSzyszlo, Karina Wisniewska, Alexis Gorodine, Gye Hoon Park, and Ola Kolehmainen. The exterior design of the hotel was even designed as a tribute to its waterside location with the shape of a sail built into its façade that lights up at night.
“The support of corporate sponsors such as EPIC Hotel is critical to the advancement of the Adrienne Arsht Center’s mission,” said Adrienne Arsht Center President and CEO M. John Richard. “This is an important partnership between two Downtown Miami stakeholders that have helped catalyze the emergence of our city’s urban core as a vibrant 24/7 community. We look forward to working with our friends at the EPIC Hotel as we continue evolving our neighborhood into Miami’s new town square and, at the same time, providing a home away from home for our visiting artists.”
