Casa Casuarina -
It's perhaps the apex
of a certain tendency in hospitality: the old Versace
mansion is back, this time as a private members’ club —
and, for those willing to shell out for a temporary
membership, a luxury boutique hotel. This patchwork
Italian-style palace is still every inch a monument to
excess; the difference being that now it’s open to the
public, or at least a certain subset thereof.
The accommodations
don’t play it any safer than the hyper-ornate common
areas; all the suites, from the Persian to the Pompeii
to the Egyptian and even the Owner’s Suite — this last
Versace’s own — are intricately detailed, full of
stained glass, mosaic tile and hand-carved furniture,
along with everything a modern luxury hotel needs, from
marble baths to plasma televisions.
As for the social
atmosphere, you’ll share the Casa Casuarina with the
club members. There’s a full-service spa, a beach club,
a restaurant headed by the award-winning chef Wolfgang
Birk, as well as Versace’s famous mosaic swimming pool,
surrounded by private cabanas, for when exclusive isn’t
exclusive enough. And rather than just the typical South
Beach velvet-roped hotel bar, the Casa has not just a
cocktail bar and a cigar room, but a caviar lounge as
well.
Delano Hotel - Miami’s South Beach
is the spot where hotels vie for style: The Hotel is the
most funky, the Marlin the most rock’n’roll, the Tides
the most sophisticated, and the Delano the most cool.
Morgans Hotel Group
and Philippe Starck have always had a talent for
containing worlds within their hotels—seemingly
light-years away from the streets on which they sit. The
Mondrian is Hollywood sci-fi, the Hudson is Harvard
Square and the Delano is an Alice in Wonderland trip:
fantasy, indulgence and tranquility in a couture
package.
You never have to
leave. At the Delano you can go to the movies, play
volleyball, swim, sleep, have treatments at the Agua spa
and eat everything from sushi to lobster ravioli. And
every space within the hotel is its own sphere. The Blue
Door restaurant, which Madonna co-owns, is a hotspot,
packed with hotel guests, stars (Jamie Foxx, Lindsay
Lohan, Queen Latifah, Justin Timberlake and models
galore) and locals. A tip: Don’t even think about eating
before eight o’clock. The pool table is always draped
with hot young things, the bar is small, dark and
sophisticated, and the lobby is sexy with its towering
columns, oversized mirrors and billowing curtains
(despite the sunburned tourists who stroll through
around 7pm before heading off to Joe’s Stone Crab). The
private beach has peach and white tents stocked with
beach balls and fruit. But the pièce de résistance is
the pool.
You can spend an entire day underwater—there’s
music (yes, underwater music), and separate spots for
playing, floating around, even snacking. The poolside
bungalows are on Miami’s most wanted list—offering a
tasty glimpse of the sea and the pool, plus a decadent
reputation that probably derives from their close
proximity to the bar. But if total escape is what you’re
looking for, all you have to do is shut the door. Delano
rooms take quiet to a different level—the white floor
planks are lined with cork—and, here, the discos of
South Beach seem very, very far away.

Hotel St. Augustine -
In Miami’s bid to
maintain its reputation as America’s sexiest
destination, South Beach is its red carpet. With hotels,
bars and clubs like glittering starlets flashing canned
smiles to the cameras, SoBe’s exhibitionistic brand of
luxury sometimes borders on sensory overload. So while
its hot-list neighbors peddle the lifestyles of the rich
and famous, the Hotel St. Augustine instead offers a
refreshing dose of modesty, set in a 1937 Art Deco
landmark in the burgeoning South of Fifth district.
With only 24 rooms,
the St. Augustine functions more as a guest house than a
full-service hotel. It’s not unheard-of to have only one
staff-person on-hand, hopping back and forth from
reception duties to tending the small in-lobby bar
(which also doubles as a breakfast lounge). The
unassumingly hip décor keeps it simple, with the
requisite Scandinavian clean lines, light woods and
chromatic minimalism. Designed around the
concept of bringing the spa experience to the individual
level, the bathrooms are by far the highlight of the
hotel, and its primary claim to bragging rights amongst
South Beach’s indulgent properties. While the main
quarters of the rooms run on the smallish side, the
bathrooms are expansive, featuring multi-head European
steam showers and a spa-bar of products for
self-pampering. And that may be the
key to this place: self-pampering. Prima-donna
tendencies and celebutante fantasies are better played
out elsewhere, but set only two blocks from the beach
and minutes from the velvet-ropes, the Hotel St.
Augustine is a perfect refuge from SoBe’s more
ostentatious glamour.
Leslie Hotel
The AAA Rated, 3 Star Leslie Hotel is a lively Art Deco hotel located on the
world famous Ocean Drive, overlooking the beach. The Leslie is very popular with
the Movie Industry and is featured in films such as The Bird Cage and Ace
Ventura, Pet Detective. The hotel was originally built in 1930's and reopened in
2001. To keep the hotel fresh and exciting, the hotel recently underwent a full
renovation making the hotel as vibrant as it was in it popular past. Trendy
restaurants and upscale shops abound. Guests are greeted by the hotel's acid
yellow Deco facade and inviting interiors infused with hues of turquoise,
tangerine and flamingo pink. Step onto the sidewalk in the evening and you are
in the midst of the famous South Beach nightlife with its beautiful people and
spectacular late night venues. Miami International Airport is 11 miles and Ft.
Lauderdale Airport is 28 miles from the hotel. Part of what keep Leslie in the
vibe is its hip Cafe. conveniently named The Leslie Cafe. The Leslie is the
perfect place to stay to enjoy all that South Beach has to offer. Business
Services are available for all guests which includes cellular phone, PC and
private fax rentals. Guests will also enjoy complementary beach towels and
personal care products. The Beach Convention Center and a gym are nearby. The
hotel offers luggage storage, room service, and valet parking. For additional

Pelican Hotel- Miami Beach is home
to more that a few slightly over-the-top hotels, and it
can be an unsettling experience trying to reconcile the
total design excess with the pervasive atmosphere of
high seriousness. Fortunately there’s one place that
seems utterly self-aware; the Pelican is as flauntingly
ostentatious as they come, but with an almost Warholian
wink—this is a fantasyland with no pretensions to
authenticity, a playful and almost pranksterish put-on,
with the guests fully in on the joke.
And what else would
one expect from the Diesel fashion group? A hotel owned
by an old-school fashion dynasty would paper its walls
in its own logo, and emboss its label on every flat
surface. Here the approach is a bit more theatrical;
each of the Pelican’s rooms looks like it could have
been a backdrop for one of the iconoclastic label’s
highly artificial advertising shoots. The
Psychedelic(ate) Girl room is as faithful a rendition of
the Sixties London fantasy as we’ve seen, and the Born
in the Stars & Stripes room does Americana kitsch the
way it seems only a Swedish decorator could do it. The
ever-popular Best Whorehouse room, though, may be Magnus Ehrland’s magnum opus, a masterwork of boudoir chic
that’s liable to make you feel a bit dirty just walking
through the door.
The list goes on, and
there’s something for almost every taste, from the
ultra-feminine Power Flower to the leather-and-stripes
Executive Zebra suite.
Everything, that is, except the
norm—if you’re a diehard fan of white-on-white, or fussy
Art Deco revivalism, try just about anywhere else. If
you’re looking for character, though, then the Pelican
may be your place. The restaurant is casual and hip yet
really rather good, a bit like its denim-empire
ownership; and the bar is remarkably relaxed considering
the velvet-rope madness at many Miami nightspots. This
is the perfect antidote to the pretentiousness and
self-satisfaction of the Miami Beach hotel scene—it’s
impossible to take yourself too seriously when
surrounded by photo-quality jungle-print wallpaper.
The
Raleigh - The growing pains are over: The Raleigh has emerged from
its most recent bout with restoration, and the result is a hotel that
quite lives up to its exceptional public image. We are also happy to say
the rooms are up to the level of the hotel’s impressive public spaces.
Today there are other places to stay in Miami, but you almost wouldn’t
know it—for many of the stars of the moment, The Raleigh is
the South Beach hotel.
This is much as it
was in 1940, when this L. Murray Dixon Art Deco
masterpiece first opened its doors. The swimming pool is
a landmark, its sculpted outline and waterfall having
served as backdrops for many an Esther Williams film
shoot—in case you remember Esther Williams. (She was a
bit like current Raleigh devotee Anna Kournikova, except
an actress, and an aquatic one—oh, never mind.)
Hard times befell
Miami, at least as a tourist destination, and The
Raleigh’s fortunes waned as well—its attempts at
rehabilitation, it seems, couldn’t keep pace with the
more flamboyant development taking place elsewhere
around town, such as the Schrager/Starck collaboration
at the Delano.
You might think the natural step for
celebrity hotelier Andre Balazs would have been to
out-flash the competition—but that would have been too
obvious, not to mention the fact that trying to
out-flash Starck is a fool’s game.
Instead the modern
Raleigh is intended to be like the original Raleigh,
only more so—not a stuffy historically correct replica,
but an homage to the bold and vivid spirit of the Art
Deco Forties. There’s no blobby hypermodern furniture,
and little that could be called Euro-Zen; but this is no
period film set either. It’s the kind of subtly
idealized fantasy world that has become Balazs’ bread
and butter, and it’s the inhabitants who attract the
most attention. If you’re celebrity-averse, or afraid of
beautiful people, then this is not the hotel for you—but
if you fancy a sip in a buzzing bar, surrounded by
starlets and singers, then you could do a lot worse.
Sanctuary South Beach
- South Beach has
plenty of big-production hotels, see-and-be-seen places
where gawkers outnumber hotel guests in the lobby bar
and the pool deck looks like a scene from Fashion Week.
The Sanctuary is a different kind of hotel, and lives up
to its name in style — just a block or two from Lincoln
Road and the beach, it affords a measure of seclusion in
a town that’s always on.
None of this is to
say the Sanctuary is some kind of wallflower: you’ll
ride in style in the hotel’s own Bentley, and the
interiors are nothing if not glamorous. Public spaces
are modern-luxe, from the sleek lacquered look of the
lobby and restaurant to the bedroom atmosphere of the
poolside rooftop lounge. The suites are handsome as
well, richly furnished in a clean-lined contemporary
style, and laid out around a central Japanese garden
courtyard.
In-suite features
include full kitchens with espresso machines, 42-inch
plasma televisions, queen beds and private terraces.
They’re plush enough to live in, and that’s part of the
idea — they’re available for sale as condominiums, at
your disposal when you’re in town and rented to hotel
guests when you’re not. It wouldn’t be a bad life — the
Sanctuary Salon and Spa are there to serve all your
immediate physical needs, and they’ll even go so far as
to furnish a jogging companion or yoga partner if you’re
feeling lonesome.
The Sagamore bridges
the gap between the ultra-chic boutique and the more
stately, upmarket luxury hotel. It's not easy to define
the Sagamore — is the hotel within the art gallery or
the art gallery within the hotel?
This old-fashioned
insistence on real luxury at the expense of cheap
thrills seems to have paid off, though; the Sagamore,
apparently, is just what Miami Beach needed. The
property is all suites, 92 of them, all with fully
equipped kitchens, living rooms with sleeper sofas,
massive bathrooms with whirlpool tubs, and all the
electronic gadgetry (from entertainment centers to T1
lines) that one could possibly use. Also of note is the
Sagamore's extensive collection of contemporary art —
works by a variety of emerging artists decorate the
guest suites, as well as the lobby and the dedicated
gallery space.
All of this is not to
say that the Sagamore is stuffy or unhip — merely that
its grown-up touches back up its stylish appearance with
some real substance. One of its most celebrated repeat
visitors, after all, is P. Diddy, who is not known for
being uptight or conservative; but who has been known to
insist upon luxury to excess. The fashion designers,
models, and actors who frequent other Miami Beach haunts
are perfectly at home here, presumably when they tire of
the all-bets-off hedonism on display elsewhere around
town.
There are plenty of
options for socializing at the Sagamore; the informal
pool scene alone is lively enough to rival some hotel
nightclubs. There is a lobby bar, Saga, and a poolside
bar and grill. For those here on business, particularly
in fashion, most of the public spaces (in addition to
vacant suites) are available as locations for photo
shoots, and the hotel offers use of a production office.
And Sagamore finally opened it's signature restaurant,
Social Miami, confirming there may be no reason to set
foot outside the hotel grounds ever again.
The long-awaited
opening of the Setai is some of the biggest news to hit
the South Beach hotel scene in a while. This is a town
that’s not exactly hurting for over-the-top luxury
accommodations, but the Setai manages to set itself
apart by being even more over-the-top than the
competition.
From a distance what
you notice is the tower, forty curvaceous stories of
aquamarine glass right on the beach, home to the private
owners’ suites as well as some of the more excessive
hotel suites; like the sky, it’s hard to say whether the
tower’s color is a reflection of the sea or some
intrinsic property. From the inland side on Collins
Avenue, though, you can see that the Setai’s heart lies
behind the refurbished facade of the Dempsey Vanderbilt
hotel, a classic eight-story Art Deco building dating
back to the first golden age of Miami Beach. This is
where you’ll find the comparatively more modest studio
suites; it’ll quickly become clear, though, that modest
isn’t really a word that applies in this case. Art Deco the exterior
may be, but the Setai’s interiors are anything but
classic Miami. Forget about white, let alone coral-pink;
think dark, as in black brick, black granite, lightened
only by rich expanses of polished teak, more a sort of
Indonesian volcanic look than anything you’d associate
with South Beach.
Even the smallest
rooms, in the old Dempsey building, are huge, and the
suites in the new tower are truly vast, many with views
out to sea from many floors up, a luxury that’s nearly
unique in this town. At this level flat-screen
televisions, CD/DVD players and in-room espresso
machines seem less like luxuries and more like pleasant
background; the real surprise is the open-plan bath,
with the black granite tub exposed to the room, offering
itself for in-room spa treatments. Spa treatments are of
course also available outside of your room: the spa, in
keeping with the overall character of the place, is
almost overindulgent. Three pools seem rather more than
plenty, especially with the Atlantic just steps away.
And no big-news luxury hotel would be complete without a
deeply impressive restaurant: the Setai’s serves a
“Trans-Ethnic” cuisine that is not a fusion but a mixing
and matching of any number of very authentic Asian
dishes.
Shore Club
- The Shore Club is one of
those chic hotels, a magnet for the jet set and for the
entertainment and fashion elite — and why not? This is a place
with all the hipster cachet of the other uber-modern nightclub
hotels, with an added bonus: some real, substantive luxury, from
its exclusive atmosphere, keeping out the more craven celeb-watchers,
to its richly appointed rooms, with 400-thread-count bedding and
massive bathrooms (and Molton Brown bath products).
The design, by David
Chipperfield, is close to the edge, but unlike some fashionable
hotels, this one is unlikely to need a redesign every season.
Guest rooms have a bit more personality than the standard
white-on-cream décor, and plenty of space to boot. Suites have
striking ocean views, and some rooms have classic poolside
baclonies. Eight two-story private cabanas are available, and
true recluses can spring for the Beach House, with private gated
pool and private beach access, or the Penthouse Suite — 6000
square feet spread over three floors with rooftop pool, private
steam room and sauna, and a 360-degree view of South Beach and
the ocean. Services across the hotel include 24-hour butler
service and a complement of beach services, such as beach-side
dining or massage.
Miami's first Nobu restaurant
calls the Shore Club home, and Skybar's deep red poolside club
is one of Miami's most in-demand nightspots — though,
mercifully, it is free from the crowding and scene-making
endemic to lesser South Beach bars. This place is strictly for
the beautiful people and the hotel guests, which is as it should
be. How such a fashionable place could be this calm and under
control is a mystery, but a welcome one, for anyone who dreams
of a Miami before the masses invaded.
The
Standard- The long-awaited
Standard Miami is here — and anyone who anticipated a
carbon copy of the LA Standards will be in for a bit of
a surprise. Still intact is the budget-chic philosophy —
itself enough to raise an eyebrow or two in shamelessly
glam Miami Beach — and unique to this particular
Standard are a few novel solutions to the problem of
shoehorning another big-deal hotel into the already
packed South Beach scene.
Accommodations are
smart and stylish — not oversized or particularly
decadent, but very much more than adequate given that
it’s possible to easily spend four times as much
elsewhere in town. The décor is familiarly modern, in
whites and blonde woods, and the look is familiar as
well, blending mid-century Miami modernism with
Scandinavian furniture from the same period — a look
that is back in style all round the world, but resonates
that much more strongly so close to South Beach. Children under 14 not
permitted on the property.
The Tides towers over
South Beach, a 12-story monolith in gleaming white,
vaguely nautical, like a moored cruise ship, complete
with telescopes in the guest rooms for scanning the high
seas (surely nobody uses them just for watching the
girls on the beach). Distinctly un-ship-like in their
spaciousness are the cabins: the hotel’s 1936-vintage
floor plan have since lost many an interior wall,
leaving just 45 very large suites.
All of the suites
face the ocean, and all are filled with streaming
sunlight, making some of South Beach’s lesser hotels
feel almost dank by comparison. And the by-now boutique
all-white color scheme, which can look perverse in a
Manhattan skyscraper or under London’s drizzly skies,
seems perfectly sensible in this sun-drenched locale.
King beds and 42-inch plasma TVs are standard, and in
fact look barely big enough in these vast spaces.
The suites on the
topmost floors are above the rooftops of Ocean Drive,
and have dramatic views of this architecturally rich
district—and yes, they have telescopes too, if you must
know. The Goldeneye suite is an homage to Ian Fleming’s
Jamaican estate (the two properties were once related,
but have since divorced) and the Terra Nova penthouse,
above, spans the entire tenth floor, for a 360-degree
view.
Public spaces are no
less impressive, whether the mezzanine deck with its
fifty-foot pool, or the baby-blue rooftop patio, which
feels a bit like the top of the world. The restaurant
and bar are elegant as well as eclectic, and you never
know who you’ll see, given Miami’s current status as the
center of all things hip in America. The staff does a
fine job maintaining a discreet atmosphere, so even if
that is Bono at the next table, don’t expect a mad rush
of autograph seekers.

stay in
