"A bustling harbor marina edged with shops and restaurants—some with playful, generically hip names such as Gipsy Rabbit and Black Betty—and punctuated by seals sunbathing on the docks. The waterfront offers a port-side experience that can feel Miami- or Melbourne-like, with nearby Signal Hill firing a cannon shot at noon above the Crayola-colored buildings of the historic Muslim quarter." - Chris Wallace Chris Wallace Chris Wallace is a New York-based writer and photographer. He recently published his first book, "Twentieth-Century Man," about the late artist Peter Beard. His work has been featured in The New York Times, The Financial Times, and other publications.

"The former Viceroy downtown is now the ornate Asian-inspired W Miami. Check out the 50th-floor Whisper Lounge for cocktails with views of Biscayne Bay."
"W Miami is an urban oasis centrally located in the Brickell District. The hotel has 146 rooms, each with a private balcony and views of either the city or the Miami River as well as floor-to-ceiling marble bathrooms with W-signature Bliss amenities. W Miami is home to new restaurant, ADDiKT, located 15 floors above Brickell Avenue, that redefines New American cuisine. Whether it’s detoxing at the on-site spa, lounging on the WET Deck at the 15th floor pool, or sipping on signature cocktails before exploring Downtown Miami, W Miami offers the ultimate city experience."
"Runners in full costume, of course, start at Jungle Island and enjoy the South Beach views on their way to the finish line on Oct. 27. With some afternoon relaxation, they can be ready for the 'Once Bitten' Halloween Party late that night on the 50th floor of the W Miami, an indoor-outdoor venue with stunning views." - Travel + Leisure Editors
