ING Clarion To Brand Miami Hotel As Hyatt Miami At The Blue

MIAMI, FL – ING Clarion Partners announces the branding of The Blue, (centered photo below)  a recently opened 240-room luxury condo hotel in suburban Miami, as “Hyatt Miami at The Blue” with the engagement of Davidson Hotel Company as the hotel’s new operator.

The hotel is owned by ING Clarion Development Ventures II (CDV II), a fund advised by ING Clarion Partners. The property is Davidson’s first project with ING Clarion and its third property licensed under a franchise agreement with Hyatt and managed under the full-service Hyatt brand.

The 17-acre self-contained resort in Doral, Florida, is located among some of the most famous golf courses in the United States, just minutes from Miami International Airport.
“This luxury condo hotel has already become the premier choice for the hundreds of international corporations headquartered in Doral, thanks to superior access to both the airport and world-class golf. Recent events in Miami, like Art Basel and the Super Bowl, have filled our hotel with vacationers from around the world,” says ING Clarion Managing Director and CDV II Portfolio Manager Doug Bowen.

“Hyatt Miami at The Blue benefits from a strategic location for both leisure and business travelers. Its oversized luxury accommodations are perfectly suited to executives, families or golf buddies,” said John Belden,  (top right photo) Davidson’s president and chief executive officer."

“This is an extraordinary resort hotel, a niche where we have strong operating experience,” said Patrick F. Lupsha, (bottom left photo) Davidson’s chief operating officer.

“Through branding and applying our operating procedures and systems, we will raise public awareness of the resort, and we will implement our proven proprietary marketing and management programs that will help attract more guests and provide outstanding service levels when they arrive.”

Davidson will oversee hotel operations, the condo association, as well as the integration with the Hyatt Vacation Club.
