The hotel

Step into a Miami retreat at The Palms Hotel & Spa, an oceanfront resort surrounded by tropical foliage that'll make you feel like you are on a paradise island. Dine at Essensia Restaurant on a Caribbean-style covered terrace to give you that island feeling while savouring gourmet cuisine. You’ll also be able to wake up and enjoy unobstructed floor-to-ceiling panoramic views of the Atlantic Ocean from an oceanfront room, or watch the lively and buzzing city life from a city view room. Whichever you choose you’ll be able to see exciting scenes being so close to South Beach.
