Soho Beach House \u2014 Miami Beach, Florida<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The boutique hotel scene in Miami is maturing nicely, with a growing collection of charismatic spaces that have more to say for themselves than just being close to a beach.<\/h4>\n

Our Dispatch series takes a little August inspiration from our European brethren \u2014 shifting the gears down a few notches, getting into vacation mode, and giving you some easily digestible hotel curation content. We won\u2019t spend a half-dozen or so paragraphs up here describing a place and explaining why you should visit it. Instead, we\u2019ll just let the hotels do the talking, choosing for you a collection of standout accommodations that represent the range of culture, character, history, luxury, and landscape on offer.<\/p>\n

Without further ado, here is a list of top hotels that tell the story of hospitality in Miami, Florida. To see our entire selection of hotels in Miami, click here<\/a>.<\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]\n

The Setai Miami Beach<\/a><\/h2>\n
Miami Beach, FL, USA<\/h5>\n

\"The<\/a><\/p>\n

In a town filled with over-the-top luxury accommodations, the Setai manages to set itself apart by being even more over-the-top. The heart of the hotel lies behind the refurbished facade of the Dempsey Vanderbilt hotel, a classic eight-story Art Deco building dating back to the first golden age of Miami Beach. Then there’s the more recently constructed tower, forty curvaceous, luxurious stories of aquamarine glass right on the beach.<\/p>\n

Esm\u00e9 Miami Beach<\/a><\/h2>\n
Miami Beach, FL, USA<\/h5>\n

\"Esm\u00e9<\/a><\/p>\n

Just one block from the Collins Avenue hotel strip, hiding in plain sight at Washington Avenue and Espa\u00f1ola Way, is something a bit subtler than the big, glossy, Miami Beach boutique hotels: Esm\u00e9 Miami Beach is a Spanish-Mediterranean gem whose bohemian-luxe interiors establish a warm and slightly retro mood \u2014 one that\u2019s got nothing to do, for once, with mid-century modernism.<\/p>\n

Mr. C Miami \u2013 Coconut Grove<\/a><\/h2>\n
Coconut Grove, Miami, FL, USA<\/h5>\n

\"Mr.<\/a><\/p>\n

The C in Mr. C stands for Cipriani, the famous family of restaurateurs. To their restaurant in Downtown Miami you can add Mr. C Miami \u2013 Coconut Grove, on Biscayne Bay just to the south of the city proper. Here, a bridge or two from the painstakingly preserved history of Miami Beach, there\u2019s room for something different, and Mr. C Miami \u2013 Coconut Grove is certainly that.<\/p>\n

Hotel Greystone<\/a><\/h2>\n
Miami Beach, FL, USA<\/h5>\n

\"Hotel<\/a><\/p>\n

The historic 1930s Art Deco fa\u00e7ade of the Hotel Greystone looks brand new \u2014 and after a vast renovation, what\u2019s inside looks more or less like the last word in contemporary South Beach boutique luxury. The location is just about as central as it gets, but the Greystone\u2019s interiors offer immediate relief from the bustle outside; soothing cream tones dominate, accented by living greenery and subtle Deco reverberations.<\/p>\n

Mayfair House Hotel & Garden<\/a><\/h2>\n
Coconut Grove, Miami, FL, USA<\/h5>\n

\"Mayfair<\/a><\/p>\n

Mayfair House Hotel & Garden offers a different perspective on a familiar destination. The original Mayfair is an uncommonly stylish 1980s icon by architect Kenneth Treister, and it\u2019s been reverently updated by Goodrich NYC into the hotel you see today. The word \u201cgarden\u201d is in there for a reason; the hotel\u2019s open atrium is filled with lush greenery, from towering palms to leaves that fringe the upper levels.<\/p>\n

Faena Hotel Miami Beach<\/a><\/h2>\n
Miami Beach, FL, USA<\/h5>\n

\"Faena<\/a><\/p>\n

The Faena District occupies an eight-block stretch of prime oceanfront real estate. There are condominium towers, a high-end design bazaar, and a cultural center, but for our money, the knock-out highlight is the hotel. Faena enlisted a dream team of designers, including architect Rem Koolhaas, to bring his fantasies to life, and the result is fanciful indeed.<\/p>\n

The Vagabond Hotel<\/a><\/h2>\n
MiMo, Miami, FL, USA<\/h5>\n

\"The<\/a><\/p>\n

The Vagabond was one of many family-friendly motels that popped up in Miami to cater to the postwar surge of road-trip tourists, and in short order, it was hosting the likes of Frank Sinatra and Sammy Davis, Jr. But like many vintage landmarks, the motel fell into disrepair. Fast forward to the future: after sitting empty for years, the MiMO icon got the star treatment, and reopened to considerable fanfare among the design set. <\/p>\n

The Moore<\/a><\/h2>\n
MiMo, Miami, FL, USA<\/h5>\n

\"The<\/a><\/p>\n

Originally built in 1921 as a neoclassical furniture showroom, The Moore has long been part of Miami\u2019s design DNA. Reimagined as a boutique hotel with serious creative pedigree, its 13 suites play with texture and tone: plaster walls, curved wood, clay and rattan. Below, a Zaha Hadid installation anchors the atrium, while art galleries, concept dining, and a private club animate the rest of the building.<\/p>\n

Betsy – South Beach<\/a><\/h2>\n
Miami Beach, FL, USA<\/h5>\n

\"Betsy<\/a><\/p>\n

In Miami the flash hotels arms race has escalated to a point where a hotel like the Betsy is almost shocking in its restraint. We\u2019re almost tempted to call it conservative, but with a disclaimer: the Betsy\u2019s pre-deco style means it\u2019s got a personality all its own. This was pretty much the last Georgian-style hotel to be built on Ocean Drive.<\/p>\n

Soho Beach House Miami<\/a><\/h2>\n
Miami Beach, FL, USA<\/h5>\n

\"Soho<\/a><\/p>\n

The Soho House concept has proved to be eminently adaptable, even while it retains its core appeal \u2014 for an illustration you couldn\u2019t do much better than Soho Beach House Miami. It\u2019s set right on Collins Avenue, surrounded by hotels of every size and style, but none of them are quite like this one, a private members\u2019 club whose highly covetable services and facilities are the reason for the lodging\u2019s existence.<\/p>\n

The Villa, Casa Casuarina<\/a><\/h2>\n
Miami Beach, FL, USA<\/h5>\n

\"The<\/a><\/p>\n

The old Versace mansion is back, this time as a luxury boutique hotel, under a new name: The Villa, Casa Casuarina. This patchwork Italian-style palace is still every inch a monument to excess. The accommodations don\u2019t play it any safer than the hyper-ornate common areas; all the suites are intricately detailed, full of stained glass, mosaic tile and hand-carved furniture, along with everything a modern luxury hotel needs.<\/p>\n

The Standard Spa, Miami Beach<\/a><\/h2>\n
Venetian Islands, Miami Beach, FL, USA<\/h5>\n

\"The<\/a><\/p>\n

Unique to this particular Standard are a few novel solutions to the problem of shoehorning another big-deal hotel into the already packed South Beach scene. First, the hotel is located off the main drag, on the quiet and mostly residential Belle Isle, along the Venetian Causeway just short of Miami Beach proper. Second is the spa, where guests indulge in mud wraps, steam baths, and the occasional swim in the chlorine-free Sound Pool.<\/p>\n
