MIAMI BEACH, FL - February 6, 2015 - Marseilles Hotel South Beach is capping off a multi-year, multi-million dollar renovation of its historic property with a tropical oasis poolscape guaranteed to bring a whole new look and feel to the Art Deco gem. Visitors will get an instant sense of escape and total immersion into the South Beach way of life.

Slated for completion in February 2015, the new aqua playground includes a complete remodeling of the 1,600 square foot heated pool and the addition of a 333 square foot dipping pool. Guests can get a bird's eye view of the surrounding paradise and wide sandy beach from a high-flying, 18' tall nest swing, which comfortably seats four. A third rectangular pool showcases floating platform beds for the adjacent four private bungalows.

Surrounding tropical foliage was created by landscape architect Matthew D. Bukolt of Kimley-Hom, one of the country's premier design consulting firms. The secluded area includes native Silver Buttonwood trees and Coconut Palms that complement the Brazilian Walnut sun decks.

Poolside cocktail bar and Jacuzzi overlook the Atlantic Ocean and private beach access trails. Cocktail menu will offer a selection of wines and beers, as well as specialty cocktails. Restaurant Gavroche is open for breakfast, lunch, dinner and late night dining on the Collins Avenue porch and poolside.

"Pools have evolved from background scene-setters to the main attraction, especially in South Florida," explains Lloyd Mandell, owner of Marseilles Hotel. "A time-honored hub of swimming, socializing, sunbathing and soaking up the local vibe, pools play an important part in hospitality culture. We custom designed our imaginative poolscape to flaunt the "wow" factor while complementing the surrounding landscape and historic architecture of the hotel."

Originally built in 1947 by Architect Robert Swartburg, Marseilles Hotel is a nine-story, oceanfront Art Deco gem in the heart of South Beach within easy walking distance to Lincoln Road, the Miami Beach Convention Center, Art Deco Historic District and Ocean Drive.

The hotel is independently owned and operated by Lloyd Mandell whose family's long and distinguished history in the hospitality industry dates back to 1930.

Marseilles Hotel offers 112 recently renovated guestrooms, including five oceanfront deluxe rooms and eight junior suites. Each room features double or king beds with 300 thread count sheets, satellite flat screen TVs, modern interior design and wireless internet access.

Other amenities include M Bar, an inviting lobby bar and lounge, in-room service, 2,072 square foot of ocean facing, meeting space and more than 12,000 sq. ft. of banquet facilities.
