OCEANFRONT OASIS

ONCE YOU STEP INSIDE THE ST. REGIS BAL HARBOUR RESORT, YOU’LL BE TREATED TO UNPARALLELED LUXURY, IMPECCABLE SERVICE, AND DIVINE CUISINE—ALL WITH AN OCEAN VIEW.

- NANCY E. BERRY

If you are planning a trip to the Miami area, look no further than The St. Regis Bal Harbour Resort, celebrating its 10th anniversary this year. Situated on nine acres of pristine oceanfront and designed by Sieger Suarez Architectural Partnership, the hotel in recent years has undergone a $35-million renovation by Michael Wolk Design Associates, including the hotel’s lobby and authentic Greek restaurant Atlantiko, as well as three expansive four-bedroom suites.

As you enter the impressive yet inviting lobby, you will be struck by the atrium-inspired space filled with natural light and views toward the grounds. Among the stunning artwork and sculptures, La Gourmandise awaits. A dining concept driven by award-winning pastry chef Antonio Bachour, the café offers a spot to relax with a cup of coffee or light lunch surrounded by the soothing and tasteful interiors and stunning landscape beyond.
