Miami, FL — September 3, 2026 — MIA Hospitality Management (MIAHM) announces the addition of Hyatt Place Melbourne Airport and its signature Runway Rooftop Bar & Grill to its growing management portfolio. MIAHM assumed management of both the 143-room hotel and rooftop venue on July 1, 2026, marking the company’s first third-party management contract and a significant new chapter in its continued expansion.
Opened in June 2023, Hyatt Place Melbourne Airport sits at Melbourne Orlando International Airport, at the center of Florida's growing Space Coast. The hotel serves the region's mix of business, leisure and aviation-related travel with spacious guestrooms, flexible meeting facilities and multiple on-site dining options, along with convenient access to downtown Melbourne, area beaches and major regional employers.
"Securing our first third-party management contract is an important milestone for MIA Hospitality Management," said Brian Vujnovic, CEO & Co-Founder of MIA Hospitality Management. "As hotel developers and owners, ourselves, we understand the level of trust that comes with placing an asset in the hands of a management partner. We look forward to bringing that same owner-minded perspective to Hyatt Place Melbourne Airport while strengthening the property's performance and delivering an exceptional experience for every guest."
The agreement also brings Runway Rooftop under MIAHM's management. Perched atop the hotel, the open-air venue offers panoramic views of Melbourne Orlando International Airport's active runways, where guests can watch planes take off and land as the sun sets over the Space Coast.
MIAHM brings more than five years of experience developing, owning and asset managing rooftop hospitality concepts to Runway Rooftop. The company's leadership is behind award-winning rooftop destinations Charlie Park in Tallahassee and Rosa Sky in Miami's Brickell neighborhood, both known for pairing striking views with thoughtfully developed beverage programs, culinary offerings, and experience-driven programming.
"What sets Runway Rooftop apart is its location," said Vujnovic. "Charlie Park and Rosa Sky taught us to build the concept around what makes a venue different. Food and beverage is where a lot of hotels leave value on the table, and it's where we spend our attention. At Runway, that means an experience the local community shows up for, not just hotel guests."
Putting that vision into action, MIAHM will usher in the venue's next chapter this September with a revamped menu featuring new signature cocktails and an enhanced wine selection. New weekly and monthly activations will complement the refreshed offerings, creating more ways for hotel guests and locals to experience the rooftop throughout the year.
The company is actively pursuing additional third-party management opportunities, with a focus on hotels where a differentiated food and beverage venue can drive outsized returns.
