The Mondrian South Beach

Apparently, hotel bookings are picking up in Miami (profits, not so much), and there’s no hotter week than this one. That’s right, Art Basel is here! Shop for art all day, play all night! South Beach hotels are prime party spots, although many of course are private events. VIP invites aside, here’s a sample of some of the hottest parties in town over the next few days. Even if you can’t get in, you may be able to spot a socialite or bona fide celeb if you crane your head far enough in the lobby.

The W South Beach
Tonight: Art dealer Larry Gagosian hosts a swanky private dinner at Mr. Chow.
Thursday: W owner Aby Rosen hosts art-world pals Tico Mugrabi, and Peter Brant at a dinner at Solea. Later in the evening, Vito Schnabel, Alex Dellal, and Stavros Niarchos host a Basel after-party at The Wall.
Friday: We Rock the Arts throws a poolside bash with performances by Glen Matlock (Sex Pistols) and Jesse Yusef Murphy (Brazilian Girls).

The Standard
Tonight: Naomi Campbell is said to be attending the cocktail party for the Francois Nars 15X15 book (celebrity portraits by Nars to celebrate the company’s 15th anniversary).

The Shore Club
Tonight: Cool curator collaborative Primary Flight throw their opening reception party here from 10–2 a.m.
Saturday: The posh Russians from SNOB Magazine throw what is bound to be a lavish bash.

The Mondrian South Beach
