The style of South Beach
South Beach draws travellers from far and wide with dazzling 360 degree water views, exuberant nightlife, high class shopping and inviting golden sands. The Art Deco district showcases iconic architecture, while Casa Casuarina defines glamour and exclusivity. Though, beyond the glitz, this popular destination offers renowned museums, performing arts centres and beautiful parks.
South Beach embraces its glorious coastal position with the majority of the hotels perched on the beachfront with easy access to such attractions as Lummus Park. A great mix of international chains and independent brands are represented, including multiple Hilton locations as well as such iconic hotels as The Pelican and The Hotel.
The relaxed vibe of Mid Beach
Mid beach isn't quite as popular as South Beach, but it is worth looking into particularly if you're hoping to get away from the crowds. Beautiful stretches of sand are still abundantly available, and the Collins Waterfront Architectural District is worth looking into. It showcases buildings dating back to the 1940s as well as interesting Miami Modern architecture.
If you're considering a stay at Mid Beach, rest assured that the list of available hotels is as varied as its southern counterpart. No matter what your budget size you'll be able to find a place to lay your head. The Holiday Inn offers a beachfront location with a distinct Miami Modern exterior. It is close to many major attractions and offers reasonable rates.
The opulence of Bal Harbour
North Beach is reserved for those that truly love the finer things and will acquire them with no expense spared. Luxury resorts and swanky condos line the waterfront, while the Bal Harbour Shops offer world-class shopping with designer brands and exclusive boutiques. Just across the bridge, Haulover Beach Park boasts picnic areas with views of the marina.
Expect to splash out when staying in North Beach as star rated luxury is the norm. The St Regis Bal Harbour Resort is a 5-star resort commanding a beachfront position with superb ocean views. The Sea View Hotel is a 3.5 star option offering the oceanfront experience along with stylish amenities and reasonable rates.
