From historic Art Deco gems to Mediterranean Revival retreats, check into one of Miami’s hip boutique hotels.
Checking into a hotel in Greater Miami means entering a world of lavish design, tantalizing dining, warm hospitality and wonderful amenities like oceanfront pools and relaxing spas. Miami boutique hotels deliver a similar experience on a more intimate scale, with fewer guestrooms, enhanced privacy and more personalized service. Greater Miami’s architectural pastiche sets the scene for an array of charming boutique hotels, from historic Art Deco gems to Mediterranean Revival masterpieces, and from converted mid-century Miami Modern motels to sleek new sanctuaries.
Miami Beach is home to an impressive collection of restored Art Deco hotels. The Plymouth, for instance, is situated in a landmark Art Deco building in historic Collins Park, just one block from the beach. Among the amenities in its 110 rooms and suites are private terraces and French clawfoot tubs. Palihouse Miami Beach, Greystone Miami Beach and the Cardozo Hotel are other stylish, one-of-a-kind retreats set in beautiful historic properties in Miami Beach. At the Kimpton Angler's Hotel South Beach on Washington Avenue, the addition of a modern glass tower and rooftop pool to the property’s original 1930s Mediterranean Revival building brings a whole new dimension to the guest experience.
In Coconut Grove, Mr. C is a stunning new hotel designed by Arquitectonica, with playful “midmod” touches and interiors inspired by a sleek luxury yacht. To set the tone, guests are greeted with a signature Bellini upon arrival.
Other options for your stay include The Vagabond Hotel – a recent update of a kitschy 1950s motel on Biscayne Boulevard in Miami’s Upper East Side – and the Eurostars Langford Hotel, which occupies a restored Beaux Arts beauty in Downtown Miami.
There’s nothing like escaping from the urban bustle and slipping into the sheltering oasis of one of Miami’s top boutique hotels. Enjoy the indulgent comforts of lounging by a courtyard swimming pool, sipping expertly mixed cocktails at an intimate lobby bar, and then retreating to your beautifully appointed room.
