A developer has proposed a new hotel for pilots north of Miami International Airport in Miami Springs. The city’s Planning and Zoning Board was scheduled to review the site plan for The Pilot House Suites on May 28. The proposed development encompasses 1.13 acres of vacant land at 4849 Northwest 36th Street, 673 La Villa Drive, and 640, 656, and 664 Minola Drive.
The six-story, extended-stay hotel on Northwest 36th Street will span 69,685 square feet, featuring 132 rooms, a fitness center, a laundry room, and a coworking space. The rooms will range from 365 to 730 square feet, including eight two-bedroom suites. A two-story parking garage with 121 spaces is planned for Minola Drive, with a pedestrian crosswalk across an alleyway connecting the garage to the hotel. Five handicapped spaces will be located on the hotel’s ground level.

The structure will rise to 63 feet at the main roof and nearly 73 feet at the upper roof where the elevator bulkhead is located.
Modis Architects, the firm responsible for the building’s design, noted in the application that “the proposed design is sensitive to maintaining the character of the neighborhood, and at the same time, articulates the Streamline Moderne style. The concept is inspired by aerodynamic design, emphasizing curves and long horizontal lines. The proposed building demographics target pilots and future pilots, which aligns with the particular architectural style.”
