We've already been quite impressed with the Angler's Boutique Resort Hotel in South Beach, Miami, but last time we checked it out, we weren't so impressed with the nearly empty Angler's Blog.

That was early days and the blogging has improved a little bit since then. There are a few more posts, and they do contain legitimate news about the Angler's Resort--for example, their excitement at winning the Hotel Opening of the Year Award at the recent Hotel World Awards in Vegas. We were also intrigued by their post about minibars; apparently theirs includes an intimacy kit "which comes outfitted with your very own personal 'friend'".

This is a shot of the remote control at the Angler's Boutique Resort Hotel which we wrote about earlier. We felt it was important to give you a close-up of the remote (and the iPod dock next to it) which turns on the TV, selects whether you want basic TV or cable, turns on the DVD player and allows you to order a movie from the in-room risque movie list. We half expected this remote to flush the toilets, draw the blinds, turn down the air and give us a back massage. Now, wouldn't that be nice?

We were able to check this new hotel out a few weeks ago and we liked what we saw. This here is a video tour of room 201 in the hotel's main building.<p>The hotel finished the first phase of its renovation last spring. Previously, it was an abandoned building favored amongst druggies. But new owners took this original building at 660 Washington Avenue, spruced it up and added two new structures to complement the existing two 1930s buildings. Although the four buildings may sound confusing, this no mega-complex. <p>The main building is only juliana 2007-12-03T14:48:09-05:00 25.776698 -80.134175 http://www.hotelchatter.com/story/2007/11/30/14020/891 <![CDATA[<p><img src="http://www.hotelchatter.com/files/admin/anglerspool.jpg" class="imgborder"><p><a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/Angler's+Boutique+Resort/local/642"><b>The Angler's Boutique Resort</b></a> has a room open during <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/tag/art/%20basel">Art Basel</a> next week from December 5-9. Of course, this is Art Basel so the room rate is high at $850 a night and there is a four-night minimum required. But the pool suite can sleep at least four people, so if you don't mind sharing the cost then you won't mind sharing the king bed and the couch.<p>These suites are pretty fantastic with two floors that include two full bathrooms, balconies on both levels and a bonus rooftop deck. Additionally, you have super close access to the pool--step outside your suite and jump in. <p>However, may we suggest not bringing heavy luggage as getting up to juliana 2007-11-30T14:31:43-05:00 25.776698 -80.134175 Search HotelChatter string http://www.hotelchatter.com/search/
