Miami Hotels, Hostels & Accommodation

Hotel St Augustine

South Beach 1-15

Wood that's blonder than Barbie and a crisp-and-clean deco theme combine to create one of SoFi's most elegant yet stunningly modern sleeps.

The Standard Spa Miami Beach

Look for the upside-down 'Standard' sign on the old Lido building on Belle Island (between South Beach and downtown Miami) and you'll find the Standard – which is anything but.

Shore Club

South Beach 15-23

Imagine a Zen ink-brush painting; what's beautiful isn't what's there, but what gets left out. If you could turn that sort of art into a hotel room, it might look like the stripped-down yet serene digs of the Shore Club.

Circa 39 Hotel Miami Beach

Miami Beach & North Miami

If you love South Beach style but loathe South Beach attitude, Circa has got your back. The lobby, with its multicolored light board, molded furniture and wacky embellishments, is one of the funkiest in Miami.

Pelican Hotel

South Beach 1-15

When the owners of Diesel jeans purchased the Pelican in 1999, they started scouring garage sales for just the right ingredients to fuel a mad experiment: 30 themed rooms that come off like a fantasy-suite hotel dipped in hip.

Biltmore Hotel Coral Gables

Coral Gables

Though the Biltmore's standard rooms can be small, a stay here is a chance to sleep in one of the great laps of US luxury.

Blue Moon Hotel, Autograph Collection®

South Beach 1-15

The service here couldn’t be friendlier, and while the hotel isn’t technically deco, it’s not too shabby either. The rooms are crisp and clean, and a kitschy, unpretentious atmosphere of tropical twee dominates throughout. Parking is $25 per day.

Marseilles Hotel

South Beach 15-23

With 1930s-era architecture and design features from the hand of famous Euro architect Robert Swartburg, the Marseilles and its entertaining staff promise artsy luxury.

Lords South Beach At Nash

South Beach 1-15

The modern interior of the Nash is beige and white hot. Or is that cool? Whatever. This quiet, elegant inn has an expansive marble lobby leading to 54 rooms that are cozy while chic and suitably sleek. Parking is $25 per day.

The Grove Isle Hotel & Spa

Coconut Grove

One of those 'I've got my own little island' type places, Grove Island is off the coast of Coconut Grove.

Cadet Hotel

South Beach 15-23

This unassuming little boutique hotel has the perfect deco aesthetic, with creative embellishments everywhere and a shaded verandah that's an oasis of calm.

The Raleigh Hotel

South Beach 15-23

While everyone else was trying to get all modern, the Raleigh painstakingly tried to restore itself to prewar glory. It succeeded in a big way.

Mandarin Oriental Miami

Downtown Miami

The Mandarin shimmers on Brickell Key, which is actually annoying – you're a little isolated from the city out here.

Hotel Chelsea

South Beach 1-15

When you walk into the Chelsea’s stylish lobby, you’re greeted by a sultry, black and yellow floral pattern that feels like it’s been lifted from a lingerie catalogue.

Eden Roc Renaissance Miami Beach

Miami Beach & North Miami

The Roc's immense inner lobby draws inspiration from the Rat Pack glory days of Miami Beach cool, and rooms in the New Ocean Tower boast lovely views over the Intracoastal Waterway.

Cardozo Hotel South Beach

South Beach 1-15

The Cardozo and its neighbor, the Carlyle, were the first deco hotels saved by the Miami Design Preservation League, and in the case of the Cardozo, we think they saved the best first.

Conrad Miami

Downtown Miami

Conrad is trying to slide bits of South Beach celebrity into its gray-suited facade via hot promo parties and cool lizard-lounges, but really, this is a 36-story tower of glass, steel and business-traveler amenities.

Hotel Astor

South Beach 1-15

They lay the retro-punk on thick in the Astor lobby, glamorizing and exaggerating the Age of Transportation into a hip caricature of itself: a gigantic industrial fan blows over a ceiling studded with psychedelic 'lamp balls,' all suspended over .

Delano

South Beach 15-23

The Delano opened in the 1990s and immediately started ruling the South Beach roost.

South Beach Plaza Villas

South Beach 1-15

Before South Beach overloads you, head for this Eden where a tropical garden, ultra-hip bar, 1930s Spanish-Mediterranean villas, Art Deco bungalows and atmospheric hotel rooms await.

Carlton Hotel South Beach

South Beach 1-15

The Carlton went and got all (vaguely) upmarket on us, adding crisp, white box rooms, stainless-steel accents, molded lobby furniture and design magazine accoutrement.

The Beacon Hotel South Beach

South Beach 1-15

Overlooking a truly bumpin’ slice of Ocean Dr real estate, the Beacon has a grand dame of a deco lobby and friendly service, but the rooms are kind of plain.

Hotel St. Michel

Coral Gables

The Michel is more Metropole than Miami, and we mean that as a compliment. The old-world wooden fixtures, refined sense of tweedy style and dinner-jacket ambience don't get in the way of friendly service.

The Ritz Carlton, Key Biscayne, Miami

Key Biscayne

Many Ritz-Carlton outposts feel a little cookie-cuttered, but the Key Biscayne outpost of the empire is pretty unique.

The National Hotel

South Beach 15-23

The National is an old-school deco icon, with its bell-tower–like cap and slim yet muscular facade.

The Whitelaw Hotel

South Beach 1-15

With a decor that can only be classified as 'brothel nouveau, ' this deco hotel is all done up in bright red and white, from the lobby to the rooms.

Albion South Beach Hotel

South Beach 15-23

Designer Carlos Zapata bills the Albion as the nexus of cutting-edge design, where the role models are Vincent Gallo and Martha Graham and the minibar’s stocked with condoms and Red Bull.

Congress Hotel South Beach

South Beach 1-15

Lying in the low-slung, high-threadcount beds feels like swimming in silk, while en-suite bucket chairs were just made for your fine booty.
