“We have seen an increase in occupancy and demand for our Oriental Suite (Presidential Suite) from celebrities and executives from around the world,” said Jorge Gonzalez, general manager. “Our new Mandarin Suite (second Presidential Suite) was designed to offer a choice for our guests seeking the ultimate in luxury and accommodation. The suite provides a highly personalised experience, with its own luxury spa haven for total pampering pleasure.”

The Mandarin Suite – 2,000 square-feet of heavenly indulgence, features a master bedroom and bath, beautifully appointed living room with bamboo hardwood floors, formal dining room, gourmet kitchen and large private balcony accessible from every room.

The suite’s most unique and outstanding feature is a spa “serenity room,” a one-of-a-kind sanctuary offering the ultimate in-suite spa experience. This spa oasis provides a tranquil Zen-like environment with warm colour tones, bamboo accents and Mexican river stones accented by Spanish marble tile and a breathtaking view of Biscayne Bay.

The spa serenity room features Japanese-style Tatami mats for lounging and enjoying afternoon tea, an infinity-edge soaking bath with colour therapy lighting and tear drop ceiling fountain and relaxation area with glass-enclosed steam shower, white-cushioned teak bench and ESPA spa amenities, salts, body and bath oils. A self-tinting privacy window provides for total relaxation and seclusion.

Other highlights of the $5,000 per night Mandarin Suite include two plasma televisions with DVD player and surround-sound systems, CD player, high speed internet and fax capabilities, two-line speaker phones and cordless phone, unique artwork, plush robes and slippers, Frette linens and Molton Brown amenities.
