Gencom and Miami-based White Bridge Capital bought the 652-room InterContinental Miami at 100 Chopin Plaza. No price or seller was named. What the owners plan.
The InterContinental Miami, the 34-story bayfront hotel at 100 Chopin Plaza, has new owners. Gencom, an investment firm that owns and develops hotels, bought the 652-room hotel in partnership with Miami-based White Bridge Capital. The firms announced the deal Friday in a news release issued through Business Wire.
The release did not give a price or name the seller.
The hotel
The InterContinental sits where the Miami River meets Biscayne Bay, near Brickell, Bayfront Park and PortMiami. Its tower carries the lighted digital canvas that shows up across the downtown skyline at night. According to the release, the hotel has:
- 652 rooms, including 22 suites from about 850 square feet up to the 2,800-square-foot Presidential and Royal Suites
- standard rooms that average about 405 square feet
- 35 meeting rooms and more than 90,000 square feet of indoor and outdoor event space
- a rooftop pool with private cabanas, a spa, a fitness center and the Club InterContinental Lounge
- restaurants and bars: Toro Toro, chef Richard Sandoval’s Pan-Latin steakhouse; Bluewater, the rooftop restaurant and bar; Ole; Starbucks; and Freddy’s Speakeasy, a reservation-only cocktail bar
The hotel recently finished a renovation of its guest rooms, the club lounge, the pool cabanas and the SkyLawn outdoor event space, the release said.
What the new owners said
Gencom said the purchase is its second InterContinental-branded hotel, after the InterContinental New York Times Square, which it bought in late 2025.
“InterContinental Miami is a significant addition to Gencom’s portfolio and represents an important opportunity to deepen our presence in one of the most dynamic and globally recognized markets in the country,” said Alessandro Colantonio, Gencom’s chief investment officer.
Ignasi Puig, Gencom’s managing director of acquisitions, said the renovation lets the owners concentrate on the business side. “Given the recently completed renovation, we can focus on strengthening revenue across rooms, meetings and events, and dining while building on the enhanced guest experience in a market with substantial barriers to entry,” Puig said.
White Bridge Capital and its international family office partners put up “a significant portion of the equity capital” for the purchase, the release said. Tommy Campbell, the firm’s founder and CEO, said the partnership reflects its “commitment to pursuing extremely unique investment opportunities alongside best-in-class sponsors.”
Gencom’s other Miami hotels and projects
Gencom already owns two Ritz-Carlton hotels in the Miami area, according to the release:
- The Ritz-Carlton Key Biscayne, about six miles south of downtown, a 423-room oceanfront resort that Gencom helped develop in the late 1990s. The firm said it recently finished a renovation of more than $100 million there.
- The Ritz-Carlton Coconut Grove, a 115-room hotel in which Gencom bought back a majority stake in December 2025.
Farther up the Miami River, Gencom is also working on Miami Riverbridge with Hyatt. The privately funded project would redevelop the Hyatt Regency Miami and James L. Knight Center site. The release values it at more than $1.5 billion and lists plans for:
- two hotels
- 700 apartments
- 200,000 square feet of meeting and event space
- 50,000 square feet of public green space

The release announced no closure, no change of name and no change to the hotel’s restaurants or bars. Toro Toro, Bluewater and Freddy’s Speakeasy are listed in it as part of the hotel’s offer. Reservations and events go through the hotel’s own website.
Gencom said its focus will be on rooms, meetings and events, and dining. The release gave no timetable for any changes.
