Miami-Dade County officials hosted a ribbon-cutting ceremony at Miami International Airport to celebrate the grand opening of the first Wait n’ Rest sleep rooms in North America and only the second location worldwide.
The 15 Wait n’ Rest luxury sleep rooms inside MIA’s Concourse D can occupy one to four guests and include luxury hotel-level bedding and linen, in-room touchscreen entertainment and information monitors, and access to private showers and bathrooms, fresh towels, and a curated selection of snacks and beverages – all at an hourly rate up to eight hours. A second MIA location in Concourse H is scheduled to open this summer.
«Thanks to Wait n’ Rest, finding a comfortable, convenient place to get refreshed, recharged, and rejuvenated while traveling through MIA just got much easier. I am proud to welcome the first Wait n’ Rest location in North America to Miami-Dade County, and I look forward to seeing their high-demand service provide rest and relaxation to our visitors from around the world» – Miami-Dade County Mayor, Daniella Levine Cava.
The Wait n’ Rest concept allows passengers to step away from the airport crowds and activity, rest peacefully and comfortably just minutes from their gate, and experience a new level of comfort while navigating long journeys, layovers, or demanding schedules. Each suite is designed to deliver a premium rest experience, combining quiet luxury aesthetics, thoughtful design, and technology-driven convenience. The space is equally suited for travelers seeking recovery and sleep, as well as professionals needing a private environment for meetings or focused work between flights.
Every aspect of the experience is powered by technology. From in-room touchscreens, guests can control their environment and order food and beverage products directly to their suite, creating a seamless self-guided stay tailored to modern travel habits.
«Airports are evolving from transit spaces into lifestyle environments. Travelers today want more than efficiency. They want comfort, privacy, and experiences that feel intentional. Miami-Dade County is leading this new era, and we are proud to be part of that transformation» – Founder and CEO of Wait n’ Rest, Duilio Sanguineti.
