The brand
In the heart of historic Coconut Grove, one of Miami’s most idyllic neighborhoods, lies Mr. C Miami, a luxury hotel that marries contemporary comforts with personalized, discreet service. As part of Leading Hotels of the World, the rooms and suites reflect a harmonious blend of modern amenities and classic elegance. Each space is crafted to offer guests a tranquil retreat, complete with plush furnishings and panoramic views of the stunning Biscayne Bay and the dynamic Coconut Grove skyline. The brand was conceived by Ignazio and Maggio Cipriani of the Cipriani family, internationally renowned for their restaurants, innovative event spaces, nightlife, and residences. Behind the hotel’s success is a world-class team and Dragonfly Strategists, a trusted partner in marketing services, wielding the power of Revinate Marketing for an industry-leading hotel email marketing solution and guest database.
