In-Depth Information
The National is an old-school deco icon, with its bell-tower-like cap and slim yet muscular
facade. Inside the hotel itself you'll find off-white rooms fashioned to fit more traditional,
as opposed to ubermodern, tastes. The lobby and halls are riots of geometric design, while
outside a lovely infinity pool beckons guests and visitors. The decadent cabana suites are
exercises in luxury, offering unfettered access to said pool, private terraces and on-site
tropical gardens.

part of the aesthetic at this exclusive sleep, where a well-realized theme mixes Southeast
Asian temple architecture, Chinese furniture, contemporary luxury and an overarching
Anywhere Asia concept. Each floor is staffed by teams of 24-hour butlers, while rooms are
decked out in chocolate teak wood, clean lines, and Chinese and Khmer embellishments.

There's an astounding variety of rooms available at the South Beach outpost of the W
chain, which brings the whole W-brand mix of luxury, hipness and overblown cool to
