JW Marriott Miami Turnberry Resort & Spa is a luxury resort in the city of Aventura, Florida. It features golf courses designed by Robert Trent Jones, a spa, tennis facilities, and restaurants.
History
[edit]The resort was developed by Donald Soffer, Mark E. Mason, Eugene Lebowitz, and Edward J. Lewis of Oxford Development. In 1988, Donald Soffer sold a 50% interest in the property to Rafael Hotels for $20 million.[1] In 1996, the property underwent a renovation and expansion.[2] The remaining interest was later sold to Rafael Hotels.[1] The property was managed by the Mandarin Oriental Hotel group after Mandarin acquired the Rafael Group.[3] Soffer's Turnberry Associates reacquired the property in 2005. In August 2011, Turnberry ousted hotel manager Fairmont Hotels and Resorts.[4] In May 2012, the property became part of the Autograph Collection Hotels.[5]
In 2017, Turnberry announced plans for the expansion of the property, including a re-branding into a JW Marriott property.[6][7][8]
