Delano

In an entirely white bedroom it's difficult to imagine anyone else has ever stayed there. Image conscious Miami has a borderline obsession with looking out-of-the-box fresh and the Delano is no exception. Impossibly pristine upholstery and sharp lines make the interiors feel like clean, cooling retreats from the Florida sun.

Choose a bath house suite or loft apartment and settle in the custom Philippe Starck-designed furniture to watch frolicking pool or ocean side guests. Want to escape the indoors? Don a waffle robe and head upstairs to the rooftop spa for a vitamin infusion skin treatment or deep tissue massage.

The brilliant sand of South Beach typically occupies much of guests' schedules, but a jaunt into the city offers a prime opportunity to show off your tan. Match new outfits to your sun-kissed look at the designer stores along Washington Avenue or sip cocktails on a thriving patio bar.
