Upon completion of the project, YOTELPAD Miami will incorporate three Techi robot butlers capable of delivering beverages, food, gifts, documents and more.

In addition, each PAD will come with a dedicated storage unit. Global design and engineering firm Stantec is the lead architect, interior designer and engineer for the project.

“As global experts in the residential real estate market, we believe in YOTEL’s new ‘live smarter’ PAD concept,” said Fahad Al-Shamlan, vice president of Investments & Acquisitions for AQARAT. “Our partnership with Aria Development Group on this project will transcend the boundaries of luxury in high-end resort destinations for the modern person.”
