"If you want an art-forward, all-suite South Beach experience, W South Beach offers a design-forward, luxury option that complements the neighborhood’s high-style energy." - Paul Rubio
"Hosting New York’s Superbueno (ranked No. 2 on North America’s 50 Best Bars) for a front-drive pop-up (Dec. 6-7, 10 a.m.-2 p.m.) serving Mexican American–inspired cocktails including fruit fresca cups and the signature mushroom margarita; Marriott Bonvoy American Express cardholders can receive a special gift by showing their card. The property also stages the Marriott Bonvoy × American Express eighth annual Art Basel party featuring Superbueno, Jimena Montemayor art installations, and DJ Uncle Waffles (Dec. 7, 8–11 p.m.), an event exclusive to Marriott Bonvoy American Express cardmembers and guests." - Olee Fowler
"The W South Beach caters to those who want to be seen. The sprawling pool area is the perfect place to people-watch, while the beach club provides a front-row seat to the lively Miami shoreline. With attentive service, chic cabanas, and a cocktail menu that could rival any local bar, it’s the perfect destination for a day of lounging and socializing." - Ty Gaskins
"At the W South Beach I note the Once Upon a Kitchen dinner on May 4 presents a six-course meal by chefs Massimo Bottura and Virgilio Martinez for $2,500 per person, served in a ballroom with dynamic 360-degree projections throughout the entire meal." - Olee Fowler
"What’s to love: The design-forward, all-suite W South Beach is a more mature representation of the W brand thanks mainly to a calming aesthetic, defined by natural oak furnishings, beach house-style millwork, and a mingling of earth tones with pops of coral and teal. Views of the Atlantic Ocean abound, whether through the floor-to-ceiling windows or from the balconies found in every room. Of course, there’s a great lounge-y vibe across the common areas and a sizzling pool scene—it is a W, after all. But the hotel is far more elevated than your standard W fare with features like a multi-million dollar art collection in the lobby and extensive programming including yoga sessions, high-interval training, cocktail-making classes, plus cigars and convo with the property’s beloved General Manager (and cigar aficionado) Rick Ueno. Romance factor: Book a relaxing massage in the couple’s room at the 9,000-square-foot Away Spa, where all treatments come with a bonus 30 minutes for luxuriating in the private, oversize steam shower. Alternate between beach time along the W’s dedicated stretch of sand and pool time in a private cabana. Sip on sunset cocktails at Irma’s, the hotel’s tropical outdoor bar, then dine at one of Miami’s top tables. (We recommend Klaw in Edgewater for a seductive, memorable affair and Delilah in Downtown for a jazz-heavy, Miami glam supper club experience.) Get there: A 20-minute ride from Miami International Airport" - Paul Rubio
