EPIC Turns Father's Day into Hero's Day

This coming Sunday is Father's Day. And what better way to celebrate all the things dad does year-round than with an getaway to Miami?

Kimpton's EPIC Hotel, located in downtown Miami, is offering dads and families a summer-inspired stay package, with elements that will also help dad relax and feel like a kid again. EPIC's value-added Summer Playground package, starts at $199 per night and includes deluxe overnight accommodations, $25 food & beverage credit, and complimentary in-room movie and popcorn.

EPIC's Summer Playground package is all about enjoying guilt-free summer splurges and freebies. Upon arrival, dads can:

• Try their luck at receiving a free room upgrade by playing Rock, Paper, Scissors
• Grab a Summer Playground-themed luggage tag at the hotel lobby
• Enjoy the daily, complimentary Sangria Happy Hour while being serenaded by summer-themed hits
• Participate in summertime games, such as virtual Wii golf, baseball or tennis

And, at the hotel's Area 31 restaurant, dads can celebrate with a stogie in the recently launched, Cigar Bar 31, offering premium brand and hand-rolled cigars from a fully-stocked humidor, while sipping a "Play Dirty" or "Play Nice" themed cocktail on Area 31's outdoor terrace and pool deck.

EPIC Hotel features 411 spacious guestrooms and suites all with private balconies, fine Italian linens, custom furnishings, and LCD flat screen televisions. For dads who need to stay connected, the entire hotel, including each of the guestrooms, is out-fitted with in-room computers, high-speed Internet, iPod docking stations, entertainment on-demand programming, and wi-fi throughout the entire hotel. Dads can also get their workouts in at EPIC's fitness center.

Want to make dad speechless? Take him to the hotel's island-in-the-sky pool deck, which was recently named one of Travel + Leisure's top eight favorite hotel rooftop bars in the U.S.. Sitting 16 floors above sea level, the pool deck offers Blade Runner-esque views of both Biscayne Bay and the city skyline. Adjacent to the pool is Area 31, which offers an elegant, yet casual dining experience and a menu of premium seafood with a Mediterranean influence.

Managed by Kimpton Hotels & Restaurants, EPIC is located at the edge of the Miami River and Biscayne Bay, and is a short distance from area beaches, local shopping districts, and a thriving arts and culture scene, with many museums, restaurants, shops and theaters within walking distance.
