W South Beach
Florida
OVERVIEW
W South Beach is the bolthole of choice for style-conscious revellers visiting the pulsating city of Miami. Grazing the sky with its 20-floor-tall façade of glass, it’s an eye-popping sight from the outset, but once you step inside the fashionable aesthetics keeps on surprising. Lofty ceilings, white L-shaped sofas, zebra prints, shaggy armchairs and other beguiling décor make it an individual but totally luxe hotel space in Miami.
The rooms possess a much more muted design in comparison, but are still achingly cool with their polished look of acrylic and glass, monochrome hues and twinkling chandeliers. Indeed there’s a wide range of studios and suites to choose from, some offering plunge pools and others multiple bedrooms, though all guarantee a sea-facing balcony and supremely comfortable bed. And while surveying the ocean from your elevated abode is tempting enough, you can enjoy first-class service on South Beach itself thanks to a dedicated team who’ll show you to a sun lounger, and assist with anything you might need for the day.
Should you tire of beach games and strolls on the sand, hit the outdoor pool at W South Beach and take a dip in its heated waters, or enjoy a spot of pampering in their nearby Bliss Spa. There are then various drinking and dining haunts to try out, where you can rub shoulders with the cool kids of Miami while sipping on a chilled cocktail or tucking into sea-fresh oysters. The lounge is particularly good for pre-dinner aperitifs or a couple of rounds before you head out into town, with DJ music and plenty of nooks to see and be seen.
