Groups can count on both luxury and productivity when choosing to schedule their meetings at the Trump International Beach Resort in Miami. The resort is independently owned and operated and is a proud member of Preferred Hotels & Resorts Lifestyle and Residential collections—not to mention a Forbes Travel Guide Global Partner. The condominium style of rooms and suites means that exceptional spaces that allow meeting attendees space to relax—or bring along family for a perfect blend of business and vacation.

Location is important, too. This gem in residential Sunny Isles Beach offers access to the glitz and glam of Miami, but with enough seclusion that attendees can enjoy a restful night’s sleep after hitting the town. There are multiple options for getting to the property as well, with both Fort Lauderdale and Miami International Airports nearly, along with the new Brightline train station, only five minutes away.

Meetings are about people, and planners will be excited to learn Melissa Burce has returned to the property as the new Director of Sales. Her team members are experts at serving all types of social and corporate groups, whether it’s a bar or bat mitzvahs, a kosher wedding or even golden birthday parties. The resort also excels at celebrations of life, reunions, product launches, incentive trips, executive board meetings, and training sessions and symposiums.

“We are thrilled to have Melissa join our team and have welcomed her with open arms,” said Danny Williams, Trump International Beach Resort Managing Director. “Melissa has worked for both independent and international corporate brands, and being from a South Florida hotelier family, we are confident that her experience will enhance our team.”

Raised in Miami Beach, Melissa has nearly 25 years of hospitality experience, starting in 1999 in operations as a front desk agent. Transitioning into sales in 2006, she worked as a meetings manager at the Hilton Miami Downtown, followed by being appointed Corporate Catering Sales Manager at Fontainebleau Miami Beach Resort. Melissa is returning to the Trump International Beach Resort team, where she once worked as a Group and then Senior Sales Manager.
