1 Hotel South Beach

"Aviv, a new restaurant by chef Michael Solomonov and restaurateur Steve Cook, will offer dishes inspired by the flavors of Israel, including Yemenite bread, hummus, mezze plates, and kebabs. The 186-seat venue will have indoor and outdoor seating, a bar, and a lounge. The drink menu will feature cocktails and wines from Israel, Lebanon, and the Eastern Mediterranean." - Olee Fowler

"An event hosted by Brade Lowe from Taste Network supporting cancer research with various cuisines and a silent auction." - Olee Fowler

"There was a time when the eco-friendly ethos and recycled/reclaimed décor on display at 1 Hotels South Beach would have been a tough sell in ultra-decadent Miami. But as jet-setters increasingly trade conspicuous consumption for conscious consumption, hedonism has taken a wholesome, almost virtuous turn. All of which is to say: the 1 Hotels approach suits modern Miami Beach just fine." - Mark Fedeli

"1 Hotel South Beach doesn’t just say it is eco-conscious. This carbon-neutral property has a LEED Silver certification and interior elements made with reclaimed materials. Every one of the 425 rooms and suites features driftwood walls, hemp blend-filled mattresses, recycled pine headboards, and clothes hangers created from recycled paper." - Travel + Leisure Editors

"What’s to love: In between the neon-trimmed Art Deco mainstays of South Beach rises this soothing, nature-inspired hotel that delivers a holistic retox-detox Miami fantasy—with a welcomed, eco-conscious slant. Look forward to a sprawling warm-weather escape rife with the most picture-perfect expanses, from an eye-catching lobby, anchored by a triple-story, moss-strewn living wall to 600 feet of full-service linear beachfront to Miami Beach’s largest rooftop swimming pool (fronting a primo Miami see-and-be-seen restaurant, Watr at the Rooftop). The 1’s guest rooms and suites are both vacation and staycation romance gold; they’re unexpectedly large, starting at 550 square feet, many with ocean-view balconies, and all featuring floor-to-ceiling glass doors or windows plus open floor plans. Adding to the buzz is a 100% carbon-neutral mantra, which manifests through the likes of recycled pine headboards, clothes hangers made from recycled paper, and in-room water filters, proving that sustainability and luxury can beautifully coexist. Romance factor: Fitness-driven couples will appreciate the advanced wellness programming (glute camp and metabolic meltdown are two favorites), an on-site Soul Cycle studio, and the cutting-edge Anatomy Gym. Recharged and renewed, head to Tala Beach, Miami’s best feet-in-the-sand restaurant/bar, located directly on the 1’s swathe of beach; it’s a Mediterranean-inspired reverie of driftwood furniture and cozy day beds planted in the sands among sea grapes, towering palms, and potted succulents that could make anyone swoon. Get there: A 20-minute ride from Miami International Airport" - Paul Rubio
