South Beach and offers breezy ocean views from the majority of its aqua-and-white styled
rooms. Built by M Tony Sherman in 1956, it looks like a giant cruise ship tethered to the
swimming pool. Come at the weekend and you'll be able to catch the mermaid show.

With an exterior resembling two giant sails and an interior that looks like the backdrop for
a J Lo video, this is where the glitterati stay - bust out your stiletto heels/skinny ties and
join them. The massive lobby is built for leisure, with a silver-and-aqua lounge area, a
moodily lit bar, and a deck lined with wicker chaises. Swank, modern rooms are done up
in a monochromatic palette of sand, silver and cream.
