Miami, Florida

When visiting a style capital, you want to stay somewhere seriously stylish. Enter Delano South Beach. This one-of-a-kind boutique retreat is beloved among locals and endorsed by quite a few A-list celebrities. Regularly included in high-end travel publications’ best-of-Magic City roundups, this Condé Nast Traveler Readers' Choice Award 2017 winner boasts a stunning design; a perennially buzzy pool deck; luxurious room amenities; and fabulous dining, drinking and wellness offerings. No wonder its very name has become synonymous with SoBe glam.

The location is also rather chic. You’ll be directly on Collins Avenue, the most famous thoroughfare in Miami Beach and arguably one of the best known in Florida. This means that designer stores, dance clubs, lounges, other sought-after eateries, museums and Art Deco landmarks are your neighbours.
