Work Begins on Front Entrance to the Upcoming Me by Melia Hotel at Marquis Residences

Work has begun on the front entrance to what later this year will become the Me by Melia Hotel  Yesterday afternoon while out running errands in the neighborhood I noticed fencing marking off the perimeter for the project  The area located immediately in front of Marquis Residences and running parallel to Biscayne Boulevard will see a complete redesign including new landscaping  The rendering found  at the end of this post shows what the finished project will look like  Notice the outdoor dining area and bar for the Rebel by STK restaurant  The one thing that Downtown Miami is lacking is a selection of fine dining options  Where others have failed I hope to see Rebel by STK succeed  The neighborhood will see a complete transformation in coming years so perhaps the timing is perfect
