Beginning this summer, guests seeking an ultra-exclusive hotel experience with personalized service and privacy will find it at
Waikiki's new ESPACIO. ink nine floors, with each showcasing a three-bedroom suite offering a butler, Italian marble baths, a
dry sauna, Jacuzzi on a beachfront lanai, full kitchen, and iPads to control lighting and temperature. Guests also will be privy to an
on-site restaurant, and a rooftop infinity pool and spa. "We've learned discerning guests value privacy and high-end design, while
also desiring the comforts of home," says Lesli Reynolds, Aqua-Aston's senior vice president of operations. "Each guestroom takes
up an entire floor and has been outfitted with elegant finishes. Personal butler service ensures that anything guests need to feel more
comfortable will be provided in a timely manner, and the spa and restaurant are poised to become sought-after destinations, with
concepts and offerings not available elsewhere in Waikiki." -W.B.

After finishing the first phase of a renovation/redesign by San Francisco-based interior designer Nicole

as a rooftop pool and sundeck, and bar/lounge—Kimpton Angler's Hotel South Beach is preparing to

accommodations (some dating back to the 1930s) and a new Seawell Fish n' Oyster restaurant helmed by
Executive Chef Julian Garriga for this destination hotel located just steps from the Atlantic Ocean and Art
Deco District. "Since completing our 85-room addition last year, the positive praise from our guests has been
overwhelming," says GM Jacqueline Lejart. "ese same sensibilities will carry over to our original lofts, villas and
bungalows. Together, they will deliver an exceptional experience and an uncommon mix of accommodations unlike any
other in South Beach." -W.B.
