Of course we should have seen it coming when we went to review a mojito and found them to be less than desirable… (so much so that I couldn’t do the review and @mrmiamism took over!)

Mojito Review – The Shore Club Hotel – South Beach

According to Deidre Woollard from Luxist.com – The Shore Club Goes Delinquent On Its Mortgage:

Could we be seeing another hotel in trouble? The WSJ’s Developments blog says that The Shore Club in Miami Beach has gone delinquent on its $111.5 million securitized mortgage. The mortgage has a special server Cerberus Capital Management LP’s LNR Partners Inc. which has reported that father and son developers Philip and Michael Pilevsky had withdrawn a threat to close the hotel after the mortgage server agreed to fund basic expenses including payroll from the mortgage’s reserves. According to credit-research company Trepp LLC, the Shore Club’s mortgage is 30 days delinquent this month. The hotel also owes another $11.5 million in separate debt besides the mortgage.

The Morgans Hotel Group has been known to have their game on – so I hope to keep dining at Nobu and hope the pretty people don’t get displaced.
