EAT, DRINK AND BE FIT: BILTMORE LAUNCHES PREMIER MEMBERSHIP
Cellar Club Expands to Satisfy Growing Appetite for Fitness & Wellness Programs

MIAMI, FLORIDA, May 1, 2007 –  Food and wine fans in Miami may now indulge without guilt in their favorite treats — then follow up with a workout at the state-of-the-art Biltmore Fitness Center, rated “One Of The Top 10 Hotel Gyms In The Nation” by both Men’s Health and Men’s Fitness magazines.  The Cellar Club — the hotel’s leisure lifestyle membership program — has added fitness and wellness to its vast repertoire of food, wine, arts and entertainment.

Originally launched in 1995 as a social club focused on the appreciation of food and wine, the Cellar Club club’s overwhelming success led to the addition of a ‘Premier’ level of membership, reflective of the property’s extraordinary profile. In addition to Cellar Club privileges, Premier members enjoy a diverse and comprehensive package of wellness & fitness facilities and programs, including complete access to the Biltmore’s state-of-the-art 10,000 sq. ft. Fitness Center, offering over one hundred and thirty fitness classes each week.

Yvonne Roberts, Premier & Cellar Club Director, has been at the helm of South Florida’s most vibrant leisure lifestyle club since its founding in 1995. Today, The Cellar Club boasts an annual membership of 3,000 distinguished patrons — and continues to thrive. “The Cellar Club is in a constant flow, evolving to reflect its members’ interests and passions,” says Roberts. “A growing demand for fitness, wellness and spa-related activities led us to extend these privileges to our members through an upgraded Premier membership.”

The Cellar Club’s vast and varied events reflect the diversity of its members and their evolving range of interests, featuring art exhibits, concerts, book signings, fashion shows, celebrity chefs and winemakers from around the world. The two membership levels — Premier and Cellar Club — provide access to the Biltmore’s unique brand of hospitality and its unparalleled resort amenities.
