America's Best Beach Hotels
Courtesy of Mandarin Oriental Hotel Miami
No. 30 Mandarin Oriental, Miami
Views of downtown Miami’s skyline and Biscayne Bay come with a carefully modulated elegance, evident in the design of the curvy white building and the cream-colored marble baths that open onto generous balconies. The Mandarin is located on Brickell Key, a small residential island within walking distance of downtown, and has all the advantages of a waterfront resort. In fact, only in Miami would a Mandarin have a private man-made beach and a weekly Friday night party that rivals the social fray of South Beach. The next day, celebrants can work it all out in the soothing Asian-inspired spa.
