1. SOHO BEACH HOUSE: The new kid in town brings us huge rooms with pretty Brit-goes-beach decor, a Cowshed spa, a quiet location on Millionaire's Row, and the chance to rub shoulders with Miami's power players.
$325 a night vs. $565 Photo Gallery | All Coverage |
|
2. W SOUTH BEACH: Glossy rooms and ocean views, even from the cheapest rooms, make this the sexiest hotel on the beach. Mr. Chow, and WALL nightclub amp up the 'scene.'
$449 vs. $809 Photo Gallery | Video Tour |
|
3. THE FONTAINEBLEAU: The hotel with the storied history dominates once again thanks to its posh restaurants, nightlife--LIV and new lounge Arkadia--and celeb-magnet abilities. But having 1,504 rooms makes it popular for biz and families, too.
$369 vs. $489 Photo Gallery | Video Tour |
|
4. MONDRIAN SOUTH BEACH: Marcel Wanders' Alice in Wonderland design makes it worth heading over to the bay side of town--and the more laidback pool scene doesn't hurt either. New this season at the hotel is an outpost of NYC's Soulcycle spin studios.
$290 vs. $465 Photo Gallery | All Coverage |
|
5. THE STANDARD MIAMI: Yes, you can relax in South Beach: get your downward dog on, or slip into the tub in a wet room here to chill out in style.
$239 vs. $379 All Coverage |
|
6. JW MARRIOTT MARQUIS: Business travelers can let loose in downtown with the help of top-notch tech, a basketball court, a virtual bowling alley, golf simulators and db Bistro Moderne.
$179 vs. $349 Photo Gallery | All Coverage |
|
7. THE SETAI: Consistently the most expensive hotel on the beach, but with knockout beauty and seamless service to back it up. Popular for Sunday jazz brunch.
$550 vs. $800+ All Coverage |
|
8. DREAM SOUTH BEACH: In the heart of SoBe with a rooftop pool, this long-awaited Dream finally came true this past June. But despite its location near the sunny beach, the vibe is much darker.
$279 vs. $449 Photo Gallery | Video Tour |
|
9. THE DELANO: This beachfront hotel is the crema de la crema in Miami with rooms now featuring an updated version of Philippe Starck's white-on-white design. Downstairs, there's Lenny Kravitz's Florida room and the Blue Door Fish restaurant where we had one of the best meals in town.
$475 vs. $785 All Coverage |
|
10. RITZ-CARLTON SOUTH BEACH: Familiar rooms and service make this a popular family choice, but it's the very important services provided by the Tanning Butler that make it ours.
