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
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]
