Alright, we know South Beach can get kinda skanky. It's known by many as a Spring Break destination and -- admit it -- parts of it are just kind of gross.

But for the most part, we'd figured the Delano Hotel was immune to falling down into the vortex of SoBe skankocity. It's super swanky -- and since it's charging in the $500+ range for basic rooms, one might assume a certain element of "class" to be present.

And by "class", our standards are not very high, people. All we mean is that we expect it would, you know, not be the location of a casting call for a porno movie.

But no.]]> Jenna 2008-10-13T11:23:15-05:00 25.7921550 -80.128755 http://www.hotelchatter.com/story/2008/3/4/25035/53833

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'".
