Boutique Langford Hotel planned at former Miami National Bank building

Developer Stambul USA is planning to convert the former Miami National Bank building in downtown Miami into a boutique 132-room hotel, the Miami Herald reported. The Langford Hotel, as it will be called, is reportedly slated for completion at the end of 2013. “I think that they can create a new area of focus for a lot of developers to try and essentially focus on that part of downtown that I think has really been neglected until now,” said Boaz Ashbel, managing director at the Aztec Group in Coconut Grove.
