Instant Icon

After a summer-long closure for a stunning $4 million renovation, the highly anticipated grand reopening of Brickell hotspot Marion showcases a bold new look that blends nostalgic allure with modern sophistication, offering guests an unparalleled experience that seamlessly transitions from refined dining to exhilarating nightlife. Guided by the vision of Founder & CEO Mathieu Massa, the venue will showcase a refreshed menu by Executive Chef Kylian Goussot, featuring a masterful fusion of Asian-Mediterranean flavors. Enhancing the culinary offerings, the redesign introduces an opulent Dom Pérignon Champagne Display and Tequila Room, housing a distinguished collection of over 300 premium bottles to complement exciting new signature movie-inspired cocktails including Dirty Dancing, Wild Things and Basic Instinct. “For years, Marion has been synonymous with exceptional dining, trendsetting flair and a premier nightlife destination,” says Massa. “This transformation elevates Marion from the ‘It’ girl of Brickell to a sophisticated, graceful icon. This is not just a renovation, it’s a $4 million rebirth that’s ready to enchant our guests anew.”; MarionMiami.com.
