Local leaders and Miami International Airport (MIA) stakeholders recently gathered to celebrate the opening of 15 new luxury sleep rooms from Wait n’ Rest, marking the brand’s first appearance in a North American airport and its second airport location worldwide. Located in Concourse D, the new sleep rooms can accommodate one to four guests and include luxury hotel-level bedding; in-room touchscreen entertainment and information monitors; snacks; beverages; fresh towels; and access to private bathrooms and showers for an hourly rate. MIA will open a second set of Wait n’ Rest rooms in Concourse H 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,” said Miami-Dade County Mayor Daniella Levine Cava. “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.”
“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,” added Wait n’ Rest founder and CEO Duilio Sanguineti. “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.”
Sanguineti noted that every aspect of the Wait n’ Rest sleep room 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,” he said. “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.”
