New Oceanfront Penthouse Suite & “Music is Art” Package

To complement the success of “Music is Life” and the opening of its “Remix” exhibition, Sagamore Hotel is launching a one-of-a-kind vacation experience, the “Music is Art” package exclusively for Penthouse Suite bookings through late November 2019.

Guests who purchase the “Music is Art” package will begin their stay at Sagamore Hotel with a Champagne toast followed by a curator-led, private guided tour of “Remix,” where they will have a chance to wander into the elegant meld of fine art and music history at the hotel originally built in 1948.

As part of their private tour, they will have a chance to select a piece of art from the collection and have it installed in their Penthouse Suite, where it will remain on display during their Miami Beach stay. Best of all, if the guest feels that parting ways with the piece becomes difficult, they can opt to purchase it and the hotel’s staff will make arrangements to conveniently have it shipped* to their home.

With each “Music is Art” package booking, guests will be able to start their day with complimentary breakfast on the Penthouse Suite’s oceanfront rooftop terrace. Guests will also be assigned a dedicated private concierge who will be responsible for facilitating them with a hassle-free stay where they will enjoy tailor-designed individual artistic experiences both at the property and beyond. Example experiences range from pre-arranged museum tours, curated private art-driven excursions, show viewings, procuring invitations to exclusive previews and more.

Rockstar treatment doesn’t end there, Sagamore Hotel will arrange for a live musical performance on the rooftop of their full-floor penthouse and provide a bartender who will visit the guest’s suite for a few hours each day to craft their favorite cocktails.

Soon to undergo a major renovation of its lobby, reception, and bar areas, the 102-room Sagamore Miami Beach maintains its signature art-forward style as an iconic Collins Ave hotel and the first hotel in the region to boast gallery spaces and a rotating art collection.
