MIAMI, FL--(Marketwired - Mar 17, 2015) - From February 19 to 22, the 14^th Annual Food Network & Cooking Channel South Beach Wine & Food Festival occupied the Miami's South Beach neighborhood along Collins Avenue. Numerous Food Network & Cooking Channel stars like Giada De Laurentiis, Bobby Flay, Rachael Ray, and Andrew Zimmern were on hand for the gastronomic extravaganza that has gained a reputation as America's most prestigious gourmet gathering. The area exploded with dozens of gourmet dinners, wine tastings, cooking demonstrations, seminars, tributes, and the Food Network Awards Show, all mere steps from one of the neighborhood's newest luxury boutique hotels, the SBH South Beach Hotel.

Situated in the heart of the giant festival, the South Beach Hotel offered visitors the convenience of location along with chic and comfortable accommodations that A-list celebrity guests expect. Over 60 different events were all within walking distance of the boutique hotel, and for more ambitious explorers the hotel offered bicycles as one of its many amenities to discover the entire length of the festival, which stretched from the Convention Center all the way down Collins Avenue and Ocean Drive.

Miami's SBH South Beach Hotel caters to travelers who are looking for a great deal combined with high quality accommodations and service. Both can be found throughout the 51 rooms of the fabulous hotel, where Miami traditions are artfully combined with contemporary style. Original terrazzo flooring and Art Deco styling greet visitors in the lobby, where hand-carved Guatemalan wood furniture and playful Santlov photographs create a unique and welcoming space. Guests can take advantage of the hotel's amenities including beach chairs, picnic baskets, croquet sets and yoga mats, relax at the white sand beach only steps away from the hotel, or take a dip in the onsite swimming pool. Family-friendly junior suites come equipped with either a single king bed or two queen-sized beds and a kitchenette, granting guests maximum flexibility.

The SBH South Beach Hotel is the second property in an expanding four-hotel Collins Park neighborhood "campus," a brainchild of the Think Hotel Group, a forward-looking development company that has been refurbishing and reopening classic historical buildings in the area. The chic Boulan South Beach hotel, a condominium development converted to hotel, opened first in 2010, followed by the SBH in early 2014. Up next in 2015 are the nearby Ansonia House and Plymouth Hotel, which will add more exciting accommodation options to the famed art deco district.
