Miami's Top Hotel Pool Scene: #3 Loews Miami

Where: 1601 Collins Avenue [map], Miami Beach, fl, United States, 33139

Lowes took the bronze in our December 2004 Top Five Hottest Pool Scenes in South Beach list.

Here is what we said about the scene at Loews:

Loews Miami is just about as upscale as it gets. Almost every one of the numerous chaise lounges were occupied at the pool and it seemed like there was at least one hotel employee designated to each guest.   As far as the eye could see, young men and women were sweating to death while frantically schlepping drinks and towels to and fro.  

While taking in the scene, I overheard southern belles, a few languages I couldn't place, rico suave Latin lovers, and of course the unmistakable New York accent.  Drinks at the bar are moderately priced but the sun's rays get blocked out by 3pm, which definitely puts a damper on things.  If you need to see what Judge Judy is up to while you're paying $4000 a night for a presidential suite, the cabanas have TVs for your viewing needs.  But leave your laptop up in the room because wi-fi isn't available outside.

The pool at the Loews is breathtakingly beautiful but not big on South Beach culture.  Don't get me wrong, you'll find gorgeous women at every turn but most of them are with guys.  Even with that being said, it's not who you go to the pool with, it's who you go home with.
