Guide to Miami - My favorite hotels

If you're planning to go to Miami then find out which are the coolest hotels on the beach with my below selection.

Should it be something a little more Retro?

• The Standard Miami Beach

It’s located on the “almost private” Venetian Isles right on the bay with a great view of Miami’s Skyline.

Chill atmosphere and young friendly staff. The hotel has large gardens to do bonfires and hang out but also a fantastic SPA. The Standard pool plays underwater music too. Here you will really feel the Miami Beach Art Deco vibes with a retro chic atmosphere.

Beach front vibrant and eco-friendly?

• 1 Hotel South Beach

Located right on the beach, the 1 may be a large hotel but a place of serenity at the same time. Everything inside is white and covered by green lushes of Plant the Future. The concept consists in using everything eco-friendly and recyclable. A green, luxurious oasis in South Beach.

Something fun and good money value?

• The Freehand

The beach refuge where the “cool kids” like to hang out.

The rooms are spacious, fun and very good priced. Location is great too, only a few foot-steps from the beach. On the weekends you may want to hang out at the pool, enjoy a BBQ and sip on a cocktail from one of Miami's best bars "The Broken Shaker"
