STK Rebel Opens at the ME by Melia Hotel This Friday

We’ve been following along with the progress of the new ME by Melia Hotel and STK Rebel restaurant, both of which are opening at the Marquis Residences, a few blocks up Biscayne Boulevard from the Miami Condo Investments offices. The hotel has pretty much opened (although it may technically still be in some kind of soft opening phase) while it’s official the restaurant, STK Rebel, the latest iteration of the STK steakhouse chain, is opening on to the public on Friday. Apparently they’ve also been doing private previews of the menu all week. The decor, meanwhile, is meant to reference New York and the beginning of STK, according to the New Times:

During the exclusive tour, Allison James, regional marketing manager of the brand, explained that each STK has its own identity. This time, the restaurant went back to its New York roots and partnered with iCrave, the design studio behind the Midtown Manhattan edition.

Me by Melia Shows off the Interiors of its New Miami Hotel

We’ve been watching the progress of the Me by Melia Hotel at the Marquis since the project was announced a few years ago. Now, practically on the eve of the hotel’s opening (Curbed Miami spotted reservations being accepted by July 7th, although we earlier spotted reservations being accepted as of June 15th) Me by Melia has release imagery of its interior. They’re either really spotless photographs or photorealistic renderings. With technology these days sometimes it’s hard to tell. Located at the Marquis Residences, the 129-room luxury hotel will share a set of two pools on the 14th floor with the residences, a ground floor STK Rebel Restaurant, pool-level ‘Bella’s Bar,’ and 1,000 square feet of meeting space. So, like, enough room for a very fancy PTA meeting.
