Fontainebleau Miami Beach October Opening

August 13, 2008 by Lisa

I’m really looking forward to the Fontainebleau hotel reopening and I finally have some news about it. Here’s what the release says…

The Fontainebleau Hotel Miami Beach is now planning to do a soft opening on Oct. 18 due to construction delays that forced the hotel to postpone its September reopening. The grand opening will take place Nov. 14, with a Victoria’s Secret fashion show which will be broadcast on CBS.

The Fontainebleau Miami Beach is completing a two-year, $150 million renovation of the original 1954 structure, and has added more rooms and meeting facilities to boost its appeal to convention planners.

Back in April, the Dubai-based Nakheel Hotels invested $375 million and received a 50 percent interest in the hotel.

The Fontainebleau Miami Beach has 1,504-rooms including two new towers, 11 restaurants and lounges, three nightlife venues, a 40,000-square-foot spa with co-ed swimming pools, and an oceanfront pool area.

Fontainebleau has been the resort of choice for many famous Hollywood stars including Bob Hope, Lucille Ball, Jackie Gleason, Judy Garland, Milton Berle, Jerry Lewis, Marlene Dietrich, Frank Sinatra and Debbie Reynolds.

    Could you please tell me how I could obtain an invitation to the Grand Opening of the Fountainbleu? I would love to be a part of it and would love to bring my Mother who met my Father there over 50 years ago. It would mean the world to her!!!!!

    Thank you so much,
    Laurie

    I wish I could help your Mom out, Laurie, but I’m really not sure how to go about it. I know that there are a tonn of big-shots that are planning on attending and I’m sure there will be a bunch of celebs on hand also.

    The only thing I could recommend is to contact the Fontainebleau’s concierge and see if they have any advice for you.

    Here’s an example of one of the events they have planned…Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show on CBS
