As part of a $30 million recharge, the InterContinental Miami will burn bright during Art Basel week with newly unveiled 19-story digital canvases projecting moving images and light displays, including many that will be coordinated with the UR1 music and art festival nearby. The new-look downtown hotel also features a Time Square-style marquee, an outpost of chef Richard Sandoval’s Toro Toro steakhouse and select suites designed by Venus Williams’ design firm, V Starr Interiors. icmiamihotel.com
Just add Salt
Las Vegas restaurant pioneer Elizabeth Blau — who was instrumental in turning Sin City into a dining destination when she brought world-class chefs to Bellagio and Wynn Las Vegas — and chef husband Kim Canteenwalla have just opened their off-Strip restaurant, Honey Salt, in Summerlin, Nev. The crowd-pleasing menu, featuring “the food, drinks and hospitality the couple has shared with friends and family for years” includes everything from a New England fry with Ipswich clams and calamari to a chicken curry inspired by Canteenwalla’s grandmother. honeysalt.com
