Miami Beach, FL -- (SBWIRE) -- 11/18/2014 -- Renowned Miami Beach Hotel Z Ocean Hotel has been recognized as 2014 Hospitality Champion of the Year by the South Florida Hispanic Chamber of Commerce (SFHCC), one of the country’s top five Hispanic commercial institutions.

The Z Ocean Hotel South Beach was granted this prestigious award during the chamber’s 20th annual Sunshine Awards Luncheon, which took place Friday, November 7, at Biltmore Hotel (Country Club) in Coral Gables. The event honors local operated business achievements, successes, and contributions to the community.

"We're very proud and thankful for this award, receiving this special recognition as a leading hospitality business – particularly in such a competitive and dynamic market as South Florida’s – is a strong validation of our hard work, dedication to guest quality services and core values." said Ramon Antelo, General Manager at Z Ocean Hotel.

About The Z Ocean Hotel South Beach
The Z Ocean Hotel South Beach aims to be the undisputed hospitality destination, offering its patrons 79 exclusive suites that are larger and more lavishly appointed than the local standard, some with private rooftop terraces with hot tubs.

In addition to its wide variety of resort-style services, Z Ocean Hotel offers world-class service, a dedicated and professional staff, and a stylish but casual environment, ideally located between Ocean Drive and Collins Avenue providing close proximity to some of Miami's best attractions.

Its latest award is thus a reflection of the numerous principles that have made the hotel one of the most popular destinations in South Florida. It was just one week before the Sunshine Award Luncheon that Z Ocean Hotel was awarded another prestigious honor: IHG Torchbearer Award for 2014, granted only to those few hotels that meet a high standard of guest services.
