The Kent is a restored Art Deco hotel in the South Beach area of Miami Beach, Fla. The hotel is less than one block from the beach and Lummus Park, and six blocks from the shops at Lincoln Road. The Jackie Gleason Theatre of the Performing Arts and the Miami Beach Convention Center are both located one mile from The Kent. Originally built in 1936, the Kent has been refurbished to a dazzling and capricious masterpiece. The lobby's original mahogany accents and classic terrazzo floors have been well maintained, while the new furnishings and details explode in an array of colors. The lobby is splashed with lavender, orange and red oversized chairs. Complimentary newspapers are available in the lobby, along with board games and a kiosk offers complimentary high speed Internet access. The 228 square foot Hibiscus room is available for meetings and production offices. The Kent features an on site garden area perfect for reflection.
The striking guestrooms have the same attention to detail as the public areas, integrating ultra contemporary style into vintage accommodations.
The 56 guestrooms are designed with lavender walls, blond wood flooring and brushed steel accents. Accommodations feature desks, flat screen televisions, DVD players, and complimentary wireless Internet access. Amenities include makeup mirrors and complimentary toiletries. The Kent's Acid Jungle garden, with its retro orange loungers and large Banyan tree, is available for unique special events.
Renovation Notice: The hotel is currently undergoing renovations as it constructs additional guestrooms and a new restaurant. There may be noise disturbance. The estimated completion date is March 31, 2008. This date is subject to change.
