EAST, Miami at Brickell City Centre Announces Collaboration with Famed
Uruguayan Restaurant La Huella as Hotel's Signature Onsite Eatery

Globally acclaimed restaurant to open its first U.S. location variation in the heart of
Miami's financial district in fall 2015

3 June, 2014 - EAST, Miami, Swire Hotels' first property in the United States set to open in fall 2015 with 263 rooms and 89 serviced apartments at Brickell City Centre, has announced a collaboration with Uruguay's hidden gem La Huella, to create the hotel's signature restaurant. This South American hot spot is adored by celebrity chefs and attracts worldwide foodies and beach-chic crowds - making this concept ideal for the savvy traveler and resident Miamian alike.

Signature plates from La Huella's head chef Alejandro Morales will be centered around the Uruguayan Parrilla grill inspired by owners Martín Pittaluga, Gustavo Barbero and Guzmán Artagaveytia's Uruguayan roots.

The design team of Los Angeles-based Studio Collective will transport the essence of South America to Miami by capturing the laid-back yet energized vibe of one Uruguay's favorite restaurants at its new urban locale.

"From extensive research with foodies, and editors of travel and foodie magazines, it was absolutely clear that this was one of the most outstanding restaurants in South America. Having met the team we knew they'd be the perfect partner in Miami," said Brian Williams, Managing Director of Swire Hotels.

Restaurants and bars that are destinations in their own right are a passion at Swire Hotels. EAST, Miami will house a variety of genuinely innovative eateries and lounges for guests and locals to enjoy, including a 40th-floor rooftop bar, a poolside bar and a collaborative work space café.
