The ME by Meliá hotel in downtown Miami has been replaced by the Hilton-branded Gabriel with help from a $57 million bridge loan.
“We wanted to move toward a more competitive U.S. brand, and the biggest in the world are the Hilton and Marriott. Hilton just made the most sense,” said Raoul Thomas, CEO and founder of the company that owns the commercial space at the Marquis tower.
The 64-story, mixed-use building at 1100 Biscayne Blvd. comprises a hotel on the lower floors, condominiums on the upper floors, garage, pool deck, pool-deck townhouses that have been converted into hotel rooms and a restaurant.
