"There are times when the most desirable destinations feel a little too desirable, and South Beach is no different. The very same glamour and buzz that make it one of the travel capitals of the United States can also leave guests badly in need of some peace and quiet. It’s a stretch to say, as The Ritz-Carlton Bal Harbour, that Bal Harbour is quite ideally located, but in fact it’s that small measure of remoteness, some fifteen minutes north of South Beach, that makes this a tantalizing locale for an all-new luxury hotel of The Ritz-Carlton Bal Harbour’s stature." - Tablet Hotels
