RESTAURATEUR STEPHEN STARR WILL COOK FOR PÈREZ ART MUSEUM MIAMI - The new Pérez Art Museum, Miami is getting ready to welcome thousands of visitors into its 200,000 square feet of bay front space when it opens in December, in time for Art Basel. And now, the museum has tapped a chef to feed all those hungry art aficionados: Stephen Starr, the Philadelphia-based restaurateur whose empire includes 31 dining destinations and exclusive catering contracts at seven cultural institutions, will lead the still-unnamed restaurant at Pérez Art Museum. The catering arm of Starr’s organization also will handle food and drinks for all of the museum’s banquets and private events. Starr\'s contract with the museum runs for seven years. Starr’s restaurant in the new Herzon & de Meuron-designed museum will seat about 70 people inside, under a slanted ceiling, and about 30 outside; both dining areas feature views of Biscayne Bay. The restaurant’s menu, like its name, is still a work in progress. The Pérez Art Museum restaurant will be Starr’s first partnership with a Florida cultural institution – bringing his number of exclusive contracts nationwide to eight – and will mark his foray into the region’s catering and special-events market. For more information on the Pérez Art Museum, Miami visit www.PAMM.org.

NEW LORD BALFOUR HOTEL OPEN IN SOUTH BEACH - The Lord Balfour has made a debut after a multi-million dollar renovation in a neighborhood better known as “SoFi” to the locals, sitting steps away from warm turquoise waters and white sandy beaches. The 64 bright and airy guest rooms offer a refreshing spin on its interior design by weaving in a bit of the history of Lord Balfour, a Prime Minister of England and an Earl. Fully entrenched in his formal titles and British traditions, Balfour was considered to be totally irreverent. It is whispered that he and Lady Elcho were greater than friends and less than lovers, which was a liberated idea for their time and titles. We live in a new era - and this is South Beach. Guest rooms feature natural and sustainable bamboo hardwood floors and all of the modern comforts required of traveler’s today. The Lord Balfour molds well into the rich diversity of Art Deco styles as its exterior is marked with forms of the industrial era. Originally opened in 1940, the Lord Balfour hotel opened its doors as the influx of tourists streamed to Miami Beach, with an enthusiasm for the warm and sunny climate – continuing to do so today. The hotel sits in close proximity to the city’s ever growing arts and culture scene. For more information, and to sign up for news, special offers, and introductory rates please visit www.LordBalfourMiami.com or call (305) 673-0401 US toll free 1-800-501-0401.
