This oceanfront boutique hotel brings its own flash in this neighborhood of Art Deco properties. The 200-room property was designed by famed Miami Beach modernist architect Igor B. Polevitzky and makes an impression with its curvy 30-foot high sign and attractive direct oceanfront rooms. Some throwback remnants still remain, like the fountain by the pool that once doubled as a diving board, but the hotel has kept up with the times. Look for contemporary flair, from poolside DJs to oversized frames of pinup girls.The hotel pays homage to 1940s glamour in its multimillion dollar renovation. The lobby shimmers with its majestic chandelier, marble columns and floor and black-and-white accents. A breezeway reveals hidden banquettes perfect for eyeing the scene at the pool. Guests can rent poolside cabanas, a relaxing spot for indulging in other local loves: mojitos and Cuban sandwiches from Terrace Cafe. Shine, the resident club, hosts a global roster of DJs and has a dance floor.White duvet-topped beds complement rich wood furniture and drapes that open to balconies or windows with partial or full ocean or city views. Framed prints of abstract art mirror the look of the hotel. Suites and a penthouse cater to VIPs, families and executives, with residential amenities such as kitchens and kitchenettes, a washer and dryer (in the penthouse), lounging and dining areas and flatscreen TVs. Wi-Fi can be accessed for an extra fee.
