Top Hotels in Miami Beach: We Wanna Try the Impala Hotel's Spaghetti

Where: 1228 Collins Ave [map], MIAMI BEACH, FL, United States, 33139

We don't have anything personal against the Miami Airport Hampton Inn and Suites, but we were a bit skeptical about it being the #1 hotel in town according to Trip Advisor. So we're glad we've finally found TA's slightly hidden list of best Miami hotels where it turns out that Angler's Boutique Resort comes in at number one, just edging out the Hotel Impala in the South Beach Art Deco area.

We've mentioned Angler's before, but want to tell you more about the Impala. It's just a small place, with 17 rooms, but a special atmosphere. The Impala is furnished in a no-expense-spared style and everybody compliments the friendliness of the staff.

And then comes the Impala's restaurant, an Italian masterpiece called "Spiga". It's not only the winner of several awards, but apparently celebs including Julia Roberts, Mick Jagger and Puff Daddy have eaten here, which gives it a bit of cred (or an expensive menu?). The surprising thing is that room rates are very reasonable; in summer a basic deluxe room starts at $145 a night, rising to $215 in winter, plus taxes.
