Freshly Rooted by Loews Hotels: A Flavorful, Sustainable Feast
Loews Miami Beach Hotel and Loews Coral Gables Hotel are turning over a new leaf—literally—with the exciting launch of Freshly Rooted by Loews Hotels, a new culinary initiative that’s all about local love, farm-fresh flavors, and eco-conscious eating. This deliciously green program puts sustainability front and center, serving up crave-worthy salads that are as kind to
the planet as they are satisfying to the tastebuds.
And yes, the flavors are just as fresh as the mission.

Sustainable Salads That Tell a Story
There’s something undeniably satisfying about knowing where your food comes from—especially when it's straight from a trusted Florida farm.
With Freshly Rooted, Loews Hotels are giving guests more than just a meal; they’re offering a full-on farm-to-fork experience that celebrates South Florida’s local purveyors.
From Capri Organic Dairy's daily-delivered burrata to Zak the Baker's artisan bread crisp, every component is thoughtfully selected to deliver authentic flavors and traceable sourcing.
Both Bar Collins at Loews Miami Beach Hotel and Americana Kitchen at Loews Coral Gables Hotel are now proudly showcasing rotating seasonal salads that highlight the best ingredients local farms have to offer.
