Collins Avenue · Mid-Beach
Faena is pure theatre: red-and-gold interiors and a cabaret theatre, all designed with film director Baz Luhrmann and Catherine Martin.
Out by the pool there's a gold mammoth skeleton by Damien Hirst. It's one of the most talked-about hotels in America.
Collins Avenue · South Beach
The Setai pairs a restored Art Deco building with a sleek oceanfront tower, with three pools by the beach.
It's calm and polished, a short walk from the bustle of South Beach.
Surfside · north of Miami Beach
The Surf Club was a legendary 1930s private club where Hollywood stars came to play. Today it's a Four Seasons, redesigned by architect Richard Meier.
It's quieter than South Beach, with a wide private beach and an elegant, timeless feel.
Collins Avenue · Mid-Beach
The Fontainebleau opened in 1954 and is one of Miami Beach's most famous hotels, designed by architect Morris Lapidus.
It's huge, with a big pool deck, a beach and the LIV nightclub, so the party comes to you.
Collins Avenue · Mid-Beach
The EDITION is a restored 1950s hotel with a cool, all-white style and a lush garden pool.
Downstairs there's a nightclub, a bowling alley and an ice-skating rink, a very Miami mix.
Collins Avenue · South Beach
1 Hotel South Beach brings an eco-luxury feel to the beach, with natural materials and plenty of plants.
Its rooftop pool, with views along the coast, is one of the best in Miami.
