Cadillac Hotel & Beach Club

Unlike other boutique Miami Beach hotels with ocean views, they believe that one of the most transformational experiences of travel is connecting to the locals who give the area personality.

Celino Hotel

Gorgeously manicured but not overly fussy. Party, naturally. This hotel is the new-fashioned oceanfront hideaway tucked into the scene of Ocean Drive.

Como Metropolitan

This beauty overlooks the Atlantic Ocean. Guests have immediate access to iconic South Beach and the city’s dining, shopping and entertainment highlights.  

Day 1

Grab an authentic Cuban Cafecito and breakfast at David’s Café. Yes, it’s the David’s Café from Scarface but in a new and modern location.

Continue with an Art Deco tour. The Art Deco District is only one-square mile, and some of the most dramatic buildings overlook the beach on Ocean Drive, so exploring is easy!

Stop by The Lincoln Eatery, a group of 16 fast-casual, artisan, and grab-&-go concepts in a space that reflects the fast-paced vibe emerging in Miami Beach’s expanded Lincoln Road district. Then head over to the beach for an afternoon lounge in the sun. Don’t forget your sunscreen though! Soak up the rays at South Pointe Park and stroll along the boardwalk and the beach.

Day 2

Start with brunch at the Palace Bar where brunch comes not only with mimosas, but also with a drag show. Make sure you have reservations as they tend to get pretty booked up.

Get in on all the wellness action, including yoga and fitness classes on the beach from 3rd Street Beach Yoga. Explore South Beach’s wellness pocket neighborhood where you can will find a ton of quick healthy bites, boutique gyms, and other gems.

End the night with dinner at Sweet Liberty, a hip restaurant where classic & unique cocktails are paired with American bites like lobster rolls.
