The name pretty much nails it – its urban resort feel, sophisticated rooms and 16-story-high pools are, indeed, epic.

Oodles of nearby places to dine – or if you’re spent from hourrrrrs at the beach, stick around onsite and keep it casual at The Bistro.

Historic former 1925 Miami National Bank retains its charm, with the perfect modern touches (the hotel just opened in late 2015).

A condo-hotel, all units are fairly utilitarian, but include full kitchens and balconies with bay or city views.

Floor-to-ceiling windows around the perimeter of your posh pad (for obvious reasons). Helloooo sky and ocean.

The exterior is 34 stories of marble and the lobby is built around an 18-foot travertine marble sculpture, befitting the glamour of the city.

Suites have plenty of space.

Gaudi-inspired facade is old-world Miami at its most dramatic.

Iconic property where luxe resort amenities abound. Among them: 18-hole golf course, tennis, spa and a legen(waitforit)dary pool.

Sleek, sleek, sleek and uber-stylish, with enviable views of Biscayne Bay and the Coconut Grove skyline.

Not just downtown, it’s on the Miracle Mile. All the shopping your heart desires (and the beach is close, too).

On-the-house perks include a hearty breakfast, speedy WiFi, parking & (we saved the best for last) gooey chocolate chip cookies.

Shows the brand at its best, from the diverse free breakfast to the lovely staff.

Hotel pool is prime for relaxation or exercise.

Strolling distance from Coconut Grove and the iconic CocoWalk (full of shops and restaurants, no walking coconuts, sadly).

Free hot breakfast includes waffles!

Classic 1940s Miami Beach gem, updated to blend classic charm with modern amenities.

Boutiquey blend of darks and brights makes rooms ideal for both sweet dreams and daydreams.

Classic Art Deco gem with elegant interiors – potted palms in the lobby kinda place.

Simple, yet stunning mostly-white palette. Rooms rock flat-screens and Bigelow & Co. bath amenities.

Design pays tribute to the revamped property’s glam 1940s heyday via mod dark woods, vintage photos and silver accents.

Spot-on Ocean Drive location with all-day dining at the Cala Cafe.

Ocean Drive address puts you right in the thick (or, ya know, thin) of the SoBe scene.

SoBe's buzzing shops, restaurants & (drumroll, please) brilliant beach are at your fingertips.

Edgy but minimalistic decor creates a dreamy, quiet hideaway in the famed one-of-a-kind Art Deco District.

Breezy, open, purely South Beach style (read: Art Deco exterior) right in the middle of this fabulous destination.

Prime location right on the beach and a stone's throw from happening pedestrian mall Lincoln Road.

Prime spot in the heart of all things South Beach, from its art deco facade to its location 2 blocks from the beach.

Glitzy-glam, this is not. It’s remained true to its roots, without trying to be all scene-y.

950 sq ft of sleek minimalist chic-ness. King bed. Separate parlor area. 55" Samsung Smart TV. Plus two (2!) private balconies.
