The hotel

W South Beach Hotel enjoys an ocean frontage the length of a football field! An ultra-modern establishment, this hotel is inspired by Miami Beach's exolution as the 'American Riviera'. The studios and suites are some of the largest in Miami Beach, and not only beautifully furnished but they all have balconies and enjoy uninterrupted views of the sea. Cool off at WET Deck lounge in a luxe cabana, or take your shot at the hotel's rooftop basketball or tennis courts! W's pritine beach is perfect for a stroll at sundown, and well - then there's the food. With restaurants in New York, Beverley Hills, Seoul and London, the famed Mr Chow is now in Miami courtesy of W South Beach, serving delicious Beijing cuisine in a very trendy setting. There's also The Living Room where you are surrounded by art including original works by Andy Warhol, Jean-Michel Basquiat, George Condo and Kenny Scharfand, and can enjoy your cocktail to the sound of a live DJ spinning beats. Whilst the hotel can keep you entertained for days, when you do leave you've got galleries, museums, nightlife, and an extremely impressive culinary scene, all on your doorstep.

The cabana was comfortable and a beautiful spot to relax. The staff at the pool were so great. Everyone we met went above and beyond to ensure we were well taken care of. In particular, we want to give a huge shoutout to Kevin, Sindy and Jeffrey — they were absolutely fantastic! We can’t wait to come back again. Read less
