Miami’s forthcoming Hotel AKA Brickell is partnering with Los Angeles-based chef David Myers to develop onsite eatery Ma/re. Minimalist but dramatic, the Mediterranean restaurant will channel the elegance of the French Riviera courtesy of Gabellini Sheppard, the New York firm that’s designing the entire 36-story, 201-room property. Renovations are slated for completion in the first quarter of 2023.
“In all my concepts, I draw inspiration from the food, people, and experiences that I’ve come across on my travels around the world,” Myers says. “Ma/re, in this case, is a celebration of the laid-back yet spirited lifestyle of Mediterranean coastal living, but also the ingredients and cooking techniques that I’ve encountered—and fallen in love with—while journeying through the region.”
“As AKA continues to evolve the hotel category, we appreciate how integral dining is to hospitality and we are passionate about collaborating with synergistic partners who share our vision to create a high-quality experience for our guests that is both compelling and elevated,” adds AKA CEO Larry Korman. “Being in the heart of Miami’s Financial District—where living, business, shopping, entertainment, and cultural offerings converge—partnering with a world-renowned, multi-faceted, Michelin-starred chef and restaurateur like David is a natural fit. The addition of Ma/re, a new concept that is marking David’s arrival in South Florida, to Hotel AKA Brickell will only continue to foster an environment that is inviting to action, words, exchange, movement, belonging, and joy… all things that are at the core of who we are.”
