Downtown Miami Hotel Revs Up Excitement for the Miami International Boat Show

MIAMI, FL--(Marketwired - Jan 27, 2015) - When the Miami International Boat Show sails into town February 12 to 16, 2015, boating enthusiasts and travelers alike will have their heads turned by craftsmanship, technology and service. And making sure they can explore life at sea from the luxury of land is the Miami Marriott Biscayne Bay. Offering a sleek new design, luxe amenities and an unbeatable waterfront location, this exclusive Miami hotel is just steps from the boat show and all the action of the city's hottest neighborhoods.

Known as the 'Greatest Boat Show in the World,' the upcoming event encompasses activities at three locations: The Miami Beach Convention Center, Sea Isle Marina and Miamarina at Bayside. Each destination is only minutes or steps away from this downtown Miami hotel, meaning guests can catch every seminar and demo of interest.

And there are plenty to catch. Powerboats, sailboats, catamarans, engines and the latest electronics and accessories will all be on offer by some 2,000 exhibitors from around the world. Sport fishing seminars, on-the-water clinics, parties and more round out the five-day event.

Of course, among hotels near Miami's marinas, the Miami Marriott Biscayne Bay is uniquely positioned to enhance the fun. Guests arrive to a vibrant lobby where sweeping spaces are flanked by stylish work pods, perfect for reviewing the day's events with friends or getting online via free Wi-Fi. Catch Grill & Bar continues the waterfront experience on its outdoor patio overlooking the marina. Or guests can head inside to savor the South Florida-inspired design while tucking into the seasonal menu. And with a location at the intersection of the Miami Arts, Wynwood and Design Districts, the property makes it easy to squeeze in a little sightseeing.
