"North of Miami Beach’s Collins Canal you’ll get to what one might call the “cool” section of Miami Beach. This is the area where most of the new hotels and large-scale projects are opening, like the gorgeous Faena, or the newly-restored EDITION Hotel, complete with a basement bowling alley and ice skating rink. This is also the part of Miami Beach where nightclub LIV lives, in the lobby of the famed Fontainebleau Hotel, as well as the Nobu Hotel and the Confidante — home to Richard Hales’ Bird and Bone restaurant. The Generator Hostel opened its first American outpost here this year, complementing the Freehand, which has the best cocktail bar in Miami at Broken Shaker. You’ll also find fantastic poolside drinking at the 1 Hotel’s rooftop pool, with views out over the Atlantic Ocean in one direction and the Miami skyline in the other." - MATADOR_NETWORK
