Last year, Ocean Drive got a revamped Deco hotel with a SoBe scene vibe in Hotel Breakwater. Now, at last, the hotel has unveiled its pool, making it one of the few hotels on Ocean to have one--especially one facing the actual ocean across the street.

As you can see, it's not very big, but we do admire its modern look and simplicity. We imagine the beauty of taking a dip here has more to do with the hangover cure qualities of the water and the view than with anything as athletic as swimming laps.

Looking towards Ocean Drive and Lumus Park...

Another long-awaited addition at Breakwater is open now, too--Nine, the Italian restaurant in the lobby and on the terrace. The menu includes oysters, ceviche and crabcakes, a range of salads, pastas, steak and fish dishes. South Beach hardly needs another Italian restaurant, but we suppose they do good business, especially with the glam Euro tourists who like to stay here on Ocean, where sleep is an afterthought and tanning a priority.

Pool and pasta privileges do not come cheap, though--rooms at Breakwater start at $409 a night this weekend, and that's with a 4-night minimum. Florida residents get it a little easier, with rates from $368 a night.
