Loews Miami Beach Hotel Caters to Teens

To be different! To be cool! To be in-the-know! The continual need for teenagers to distinguish themselves has sparked a variety of new products and services, from cable networks to clothing lines to specialty food offerings. The Loews Miami Beach Hotel leads the hospitality industry with programs just for the teen traveler.

Loews Miami Beach Hotel recently launched its Teens Only food bar. The signature space strategically placed away from the regular tables, is a haven for teens inflicted with the “I don’t want to sit with my parents,” syndrome. The food bar, similar to a sushi bar, offers an incredibly cool atmosphere for lunch and dinner. The food bar is pre-set with Wasabi peas in Chinese soup spoons, tomato cucumber gazpacho in a sake cup with straw, giant olive oil and herb roasted vegetable skewers on grilled Spanish onions, and a large shrimp cocktail with seaweed salad and lemon wedges.

The most discerning teens will be enticed by the Teens Only menu, overflowing with super cool and healthy menu choices, such as the Sushi and “SOBEnto” Box, a delectable assortment of made-to-order sushi including: king crab roll, tuna roll, shrimp nigiri, tuna nigiri, eel nigiri and yellowtail nigiri. The South Beach Diet Picadas is an incredible assortment of marinated Churrasco, Portobello mushrooms, shrimp, olive tapenade, almonds, humus, and a giant martini of chickpea lavosh served on a three-tiered “Lazy Susan”. Each menu item is created with the teenager in mind and is both exciting and health conscious. A chef is present at the food bar to explain the dishes and to make the dining experience both fun and educational. While parents relax and enjoy the Loews’ renowned cocktails, teenagers can attend flavored water tastings and experiment with fruit, vegetable, and ginseng juices.

The Loews Miami Beach Hotel caters to teens the moment they walk through the hotel doors. Upon check in, each teen receives a “T. Loews” beach kit that includes a Loews Miami Beach Hotel signature frisbee and drink bottle; list of teen items available to borrow such as Gameboys, Nintendo, DVD players, teen books, and board games; special teen mini bar items such as a deck of cards, sunglasses and sunscreen; list of teen-friendly cool shopping areas, attractions, and suggested activities in the area; and coupons for free “T. Loews” signature sundaes at the pool bar.

Loews Miami Beach Hotel is a destination for every member of the family. This summer Loews Hotels and Parenting Magazine launched the “Family Concierge” program. Directly after a reservation has been made at the Loews Hotel, specialized concierges contact parents to discuss specific vacation needs and goals. Parents receive a vacation planning package with information on the hotel and city offerings, packing guidelines, the hotel’s family/kid friendly activities and special family offers, as well as articles with travel tips from Parenting.
