“I wanted to provide the 360-degree Groot Hospitality experience that our other venues are known for, but I also wanted to add more. This is about providing a getaway within a town that’s already known as a vacation spot” -David Grutman

JUST WHEN YOU THOUGHT MIAMI BEACH COULDN’T GET ANY BETTER, DAVID GRUTMAN OF GROOT HOSPITALITY AND PHARRELL WILLIAMS BRING US MORE THAN A GOOD

TIME, WITH THE GOODTIME HOTEL. Now officially open in Miami Beach on Washington Avenue and 6th street, resides a whimsical Art Deco oasis of your dreams. Whether you’re visiting from out of town, or a local looking for a getaway, this will certainly be your new go to spot.

“We want The Goodtime Hotel to impart a feeling of both revitalization and that rare, exciting thrill that takes over when you discover something special. It’s that adrenaline-fueled sensation of entering a whole new setting and a whole new mindset. This place will provide a natural good time, for all who come through.” - Pharrell Williams

The duo teamed up with real estate developers Michael D. Fastcitelli and Eric Birnbaum, architect Morris Adjmi, designer Ken Fulk, and landscaper architect Raymond Jungles, to deliver this Art Deco dream. Upon arrival, you enter into an airy oasis filled with greenery, as you transcend into a relaxing paradise of beautifully adorned tropical walls, and vintage fabrics.

Like the rest of the hotel, the venue’s pool club dining experience, Strawberry Moon, is next level. Stop by to enjoy Mediterranean fare and an epic cocktail menu for lunch and dinner.

Whether you’re enjoying cocktails poolside, working or mingling in The Library, breaking a sweat in the gym, catching up on some z’s in your suite, it’s safe to say the duo went above and beyond, creating a vibe for both work and play. 601 Washington Ave, Miami Beach, 786.687.0234, thegoodtimehotel.com

AS SOUTH FLORIDA’S PREMIERE MOSQUITO COMBATING SYSTEM, STEVE JENKINS OF SWAT MOSQUITO SYSTEMS FIGHTS OFF PESTS FOR FLORIDA RESIDENTS. SWAT AWAY

WITH THE NEVER-ENDING HUMIDITY IN SOUTH FLORIDA, IT’S NO SURPRISE THAT MOSQUITOES AND OTHER PESTS CONTINUE TO BE A BOTHER FOR

FLORIDA RESIDENTS. Steve Jenkins, founder of SWAT Mosquito Systems, serves as a pioneer in the industry, creating the most efficient and effective home mosquito misting systems.

SWAT's story begins with a personal anecdote of his wife complaining of mosquitoes, and as any good husband, he tried to remedy this issue. His frustration with the current products on the shelves were not meeting his standards, as their long-term effects are minimal. One thing led to another, and Steve stumbled into a like-minded individual who connected him to another like-minded individual, and their mission to combat Florida’s most irritating pests with an automatic system was born, SWAT.

SWAT has since become a premiere pest control business catering to South Florida's luxury homes and businesses, all the way from Vero Beach to The Keys. SWAT provides top notch service and premier custom instillations, with the highest quality products and equipment. Specializing in fly control, their custom systems use a network of high pressure mosquito misting devices, that mist throughout the day in intervals from sunrise to sunset, creating a barrier that lasts 24/7. Think of it as your luxury irrigation system, but for pest control. Minimal effort, maximal results. 11491 Interchange Circle South, Miramar, 866.900.7928, swatmosquitosystems.com
