As one of the region’s leading scenic art deco hotel destinations positioned in the center of Miami Beach, guests can book their Marseille Beachfront Hotel and will be able to relax, shop, eat, party and mingle all within a vibrant, walkable five-block radius,” said Vincent Peden, Partner at The Miami Takeover LLC.
