Marriott Stanton South Beach Bites Into Star-Studded Food and Wine Festival

MIAMI BEACH, FL--(Marketwired - Jan 28, 2015) - An icon among South Beach hotels, the Marriott Stanton South Beach resides on the trendiest stretch of Ocean Drive. Not only does this mean the area's best shopping, dining and nightlife are just steps away, but many local events including the Food Network & Cooking Channel South Beach Wine & Food Festival are conveniently close, too. During this four day event (February 19- 22, 2015) celebrity chefs from Rachael Ray to Bobby Flay will be on-hand to demonstrate their culinary prowess, while countless tastings, meals, parties and even Bellini-infused yoga create one of the hottest festivals around.

That's good news for Marriott Stanton South Beach guests and foodies eager to taste the multitude of flavors that wait. Gourmands can purchase tickets to events inspired by world regions (Southern Divinity, Best of the Northwest, East Meats West, Tour de France, An Israeli Dinner) or by specific foods (think tacos, empanadas, barbecue and even cupcakes). Seminars, meanwhile, provide insight on everything from Bloody Marys to cake decorating, while walk-around tastings and late-night parties ensure the event is as sociable as it is palatable.

In between sipping tiki cocktails with Emeril Lagasse and sampling sustainable seafood with Todd English, guests can relax in one of the chicest boutique hotels on Miami's Ocean Drive. A recent guest rooms & suites renovation has imparted an inviting glamor to the property, where custom furnishings and locally-inspired artwork lend a sense of personalization, and details like upscale finishes, herringbone wood floors and rainforest showerheads further distinguish it from other hotels near the SOBE Wine & Food Festival.

Marriott Stanton South Beach guests can soak up the sun on the beach, unwind with a spa treatment, take a dip in the heated outdoor pool or perhaps atone for some festival-inspired overindulgence with a trip to the fitness center.

Whether guests are looking to devour every possible experience of the festival, or squeeze in a tasting or two during a South Florida vacation, the Marriott Stanton South Beach is ideally positioned to satisfy every appetite.
