Mandarin Oriental MiamiMandarin Oriental Miami
This Asian-inspired luxury hotel, only fifteen minutes from the Miami airport, impressed me with flawless service, fantastic food and even a very affordable off-season rate. No details are overlooked here, from the leather covering the staircase railings to the delicate incense burning in the lobby. The spa is an experience not to be missed. Mandarin Oriental Miami is located On Brickell Key, fifteen minutes from Miami International Airport, half an hour from Fort Lauderdale Airport and twenty minutes from South Beach..

Villa by Barton G

This exquisitely restored and decorated property with extremely personalized service feels more like a private residence than a hotel. Housed in the former Versace Mansion (one of the most photographed homes in the world), the Villa by Barton G. claims its own leafy stretch of South Beach's main drag, Ocean Drive. I was one of the very first guests of this amazing property. Villa by Barton G is located on South Beach, in the former Versace mansion.
