Stay at the <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/Four+Seasons+Miami/ian/213193">Four Seasons Miami</a> for three nights and get the third night free. With Art Basel running from December 27, the timing is ideal. Sure, rooms at the Four Seasons are on the high end, but this is still a pretty good deal considering how much hotels across the city jack up their rates while all the art buyers are in town. No promo codes are necessaryyou can simply punch in your dates at the hotels website, and as long as you stay the minimum three nights, youll see the savings MsRebecca 2009-11-24T11:12:21-05:00 The Loews Miami Beach Gets a Facelift To Keep Up With Hot New Neighbors http://www.hotelchatter.com/story/2009/11/23/111853/77 <![CDATA[<img src="http://www.hotelchatter.com/files/1425/loewsrenorooms.jpg" class="top"> Image is everything in South Beach.

A $50 million facelift at that. The Loews has been a Miami Beach landmark for 10 years now, so its probably time for a bit of a spruce up. As one of the chains most visible properties, the hotels renovations were a priority for Loews Chairman and CEO, <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/tag/jonathan tisch">Jonathan Tisch</a>.

The themed deal offers guests who book two or more nights in January 2010 a rate of $20.10 for their first night. That's good enough for those who want to kick off 2010 in a snow-free climate, but just remember--the hotel is located in Brickell which is downtown Miami as opposed to Miami Beach and its party scene.
