Old-time Miami Hotel Gets Face-lift

Where: 844 Collins Avenue [map], Miami Beach, fl, United States, 33139

The South Beach Group which consists of "boutique hotels for the budget-minded traveler" has completed renovation on the Hotel Shelleyin South Beach.

Originally built in 1936, the hotel/B&B has 49 rooms that include standard two double beds; a King mini-Suite and one Suite with an in-room jacuzzi and dvd player.

The recent renovations have added:

TEAK flooring, Mascioni Italian 350-thread count sheets, goose down comforters and pillows, Sharp 20" LCD plasma TV's, Sharp surround sound CD stereo systems and specially made luxurious beds and custom built cabinetry.

The original window treatments have been replaced with sheer white draperies and custom-designed white-on-white reflective wall coverings, which block out the bright south Florida sun ....

But the usual complementary amenities are still in place at the hotel such as free drinks during happy hours, daily continental breakfast, airport shuttles to and from Miami Internat'l and free VIP passes to South Beach clubs.

Right now, the hotel is offering rooms for $85 a night. Just remember not to go during Spring Break as one recent reviewer pointed out.

There were hundreds of people pouring in and out of the hotel in search of the free vodka that the bar so generously served.
