36h stop over in Miami – Hotel Setai / Miami / USA

I enjoyed the “Rhythm of the South” in Miami.

A weekend in South Beach is truly fun.

Do you long for the South Beach of frozen margaritas and electric neon? The South Beach of stylish new hotels like Gale, Lord Balfour, SLS South Beach and special restaurants like Yardbird, Southern Table & Bar, Khong River House, Tongue & Cheek? I like the the South Beach of yesterday with Art Deco buildings, museums and monuments?

Perhaps you simply crave …the beach. Miami can be whatever you want it to be — laid back, decked out, gay, straight, a family retreat.

In this dreamland at the southern tip of Miami Beach, you can choose your own adventure.

We checked in @ The Setai, a great hotel, perfect location welcome to Miami.

Art deco, occean drive I really enjoyed Miami beach and a bit cuban lifestyle.

For me it is one of the best hotels in Miami Beach the five star place stands apart from other Miami Beach hotels for the staggering number of awards its received: It’s graced Condé Nast Traveler’s Gold List for the last five years.

Guests praise the amicable staff and appreciate the spacious, beautifully designed rooms with floor-to-ceiling window and three magnificent pools. Definetly exceptional quality and a high fun factor.
And it is not far from Key West and 90 miles to Cuba.

If you are interested in the Miami Vice serie take a look:

If you prefer movies, take a look at The Fountainebleu. Built in 1954 by Morris Lapidus, who considered it his best work. Unquestionably one of Miami Beach’s most famous hotels, seen extensively in many famous Hollywood films, including “A Hole in the Head” in 1959, “Goldfinger” in 1964, and “Bananas” in 1983. Brian de Palma’s 1983 blockbuster hit “Scarface” (a remake of the famous 1932 Howard Hawks-directed film of the same name) features the hotel’s pool in several scenes.

Resto tip: PALME D’OR

Located in the architecturally impressive Biltmore Hotel, the Palme d’Or restaurant more than lives up to its surroundings.

Chef Philippe Ruiz has created an excellent menu of French culinary delights, and guests can custom design their own dining experience around 20-plus offered tasting dishes. Consistently regarded and rated as one of Miami’s finest dining destinations, the restaurant offers exceptional service and a fine wine list amid a modern yet classy décor. Those looking for a romantic evening of exceptional food enjoyed in beautiful surroundings need look no further.

Me gusta Miami.
