A Night at Sugar
Miami, FL – May 21, 2016 – Saturday night was more of an intimate party for the official opening of EAST, Miami’s Sugar – an Asian inspired 40th floor rooftop bar and garden. Locals and friends enjoyed an extended evening of libations under the stars, complemented with savory shared bites from Sugar. As the night transitioned, EAST, Miami’s General Manager, Laurent Fraticelli relocated guests to the 39th floor to view the unveiling of the hotel’s grand staircase mural, designed by famed local artist, Alexander Mijares. As art is an integral part of the hotel’s DNA, Fraticelli said he chose Mijares because he exemplifies Miami and he wanted something to reflect its culture; “to create something that pops with subliminal tones and designs.” Mijares spoke about his inspiration behind the mural and said “if you look really carefully you can see images throughout the mural of women laying down and dancing.”
