15 Hotels to Book for Winter Sun, From Costa Rica to The Maldives | Condé Nast Traveler

"Conveniently located in South Beach along the buzzy Collins Avenue, the chic and surprisingly zen-like hotel sits on a private beachfront (a rare amenity for a property in South Beach). The airy, sunlight-filled interiors are complimented with bleached driftwood, oak, and teak furniture as well as lush green plants and terrariums. It’s a refreshing welcome in South Beach, where more often than not, the hotels are dressed up with an urbanite, art deco feel. As well as for its location on an immaculate and private white-sand beach, book at the 1 Hotel South Beach for the sexiest, trendiest, and most glamorous of stays in Miami Beach. The property boasts four pools and a trendy scene, balanced with eco-inspired and sustainable design complimentary of nature’s heavenly shades of turquoise (thanks to floor-to-ceiling oceanfront windows throughout). While it’s a more expensive lodging option in Miami Beach, it’s certainly worth every penny." - Jessica Sulima
