“We are excited to see the opening of Hilton Miami Dadeland,” said Ana Lopez- Blazquez, Chief Strategy & Transformation Officer for Baptist Health. “Early on, we knew we wanted to introduce a unique product to the market that would serve a variety of needs. Hilton embraced our vision of a multipurpose hotel, with rooms equipped for extended stays, and our desire to incorporate wellness into the design of the guest rooms and amenities.”
“We are proud to be working with Baptist Health South Florida to operate the Hilton Miami Dadeland with its dynamic environment and distinct lifestyle focus,” said Michael J. Deitemeyer, president and CEO of Interstate Hotels & Resorts. “Partnering with leading brands like Hilton and Baptist Health allows Interstate to accelerate our continued evolution.”
Designed by local Coral Gables Architect, CallisonRTKL, special design details infused throughout the hotel include Cuban tiles and pineapple-themed wall art and textiles with abstract lines, which represents the fruit’s symbol of hospitality and adds a touch of local style to the property. Hilton Miami Dadeland features 184 contemporary rooms, including 34 suites tailored to guests staying for extended periods, bringing a welcoming and uplifting environment for hotel guests.
The property offers Hilton’s revolutionary, state-of-the-art Five Feet to FitnessÔ in-room wellness concept, bringing 11 different fitness equipment and accessory options into the guest room. Five Feet to FitnessÔ is perfect for exercise enthusiasts who prefer to workout in private to maintain their routine.

Hilton Miami Dadeland offers the largest meeting and event space in the area with 10,000 square feet of indoor and outdoor meeting space, including a 6,250-square-foot ballroom with private outdoor patio and dedicated pre-function areas.
Executive Chef Andrew Edwards, culinary director of Table 55, created a flavorful, fresh and seasonal menu with the best ingredients from sustainable, local farms and producers, complemented with produce from the on-site garden.
“We are excited to introduce Table 55 at Hilton Miami Dadeland,” said Fernando Salazar, Senior Vice President of Food & Beverage of Interstate Hotels & Resorts. “At Table 55, we are committed to embracing sustainability in all we do, using fresh local produce in a creative way in all of our dishes, while delivering exceptional service.
