B Hotels & Resorts plans to open the first hotel of its second brand, b2 hotels, in March.
b2 miami downtown is currently accepting reservations starting March 1.
The b2 brand, while still full-service, is more value-oriented than the B Hotel brand.
The new b2 miami downtown will offer 243 guestrooms in the city’s business district. Sigfrido Varela serves as the general manager.
Biscayne Tavern, a project by restaurateur Jeffrey Chodorow of China Grill Management, will serve craft beers and a menu of comfort food with sustainable, organic, and local ingredients used wherever possible. The menu will include dishes like short rib pot roast with truffle popovers, brick-pressed lemon and garlic chicken and a South Florida bouillabaisse with red pepper rouille and baguette croutons. The restaurant’s interior will feature natural wood, industrial accents and amber lighting.
The property will also offer free Wi-Fi throughout the hotel, 1,000 sq ft (93 sq m) of event space, the B Indulged spa suite and the B Active fitness center.
Weston, Florida-based B Hotels & Resorts also has two planned openings for its main brand in the fourth quarter of the year; the new properties will be in South Beach and in the Walt Disney World resort.
