The 20 Best Hotels in Miami, From South Beach to Coconut Grove | Condé Nast Traveler
"A splashy, sun-soaked high-energy resort and nightlife destination, the W South Beach has always managed the delicate dance of being a luxe cosmopolitan hotel with a penchant for hosting celebrities and the fashion set, while also appealing to discerning travelers who prefer not to post every moment of their stay on social media. The 400 rooms here are the largest guest rooms in South Beach, each with balconies and expansive ocean views. The recent renovation give the rooms a brighter feel with beach house-style millwork, natural oaks, neutral textures and a beige color palette with accents of soft corals and shaded teals. High-tech elements, like circadian lighting with three preset mood modes and under bed lights, are a futuristic flourish. A complimentary art tour is offered to guests as part of the resort fee and even if you’re not a gallery lover it’s worth perusing the hotel’s $50 million contemporary art collection with 21 original pieces by Andy Warhol, three of which are collaborations with Jean-Michel Basquiat." - Sara Liss, Jennifer M.
