SOUTH BEACH. This trendy Ian Schrager managed property has a super hip pool and bar scene, plus top-notch restaurants (NOBU, Ago), boutiques, and a full service spa. The eclectic décor inside and out is colorfully stylish and globally influenced – throw pillows from Africa complement Italian tables and Mexican tile, with lighting provided by a plethora of metal lanterns. With all this going on, and the beach, too, you probably won't want to spend much time in your room, but here's a rundown – all rooms and suites are comfortably austere and equipped with high-speed Internet access, BOSE Wave CD player, mini-bar and Egyptian cotton linens. 384 rooms, suites and bungalows. Event space for 250. Valet parking only, $34/day.
