Staying in Miami? Did you know you get better
value by booking flights and hotels together?

Set on the iconic, pastel-painted strip of Collins Avenue, Miami, this architecturally stunning hotel has neighbours like the Bass Museum of Art and Miami City Ballet. At the northern end of South Beach, it faces directly onto the boardwalk and sandy shoreline, putting you in the heart of the action. The international airport is just a 20-minute drive away.

An all-suite address, even entry-level studio suites at the W have ample living space with a sofa, coffee table and work desk to complement the luxurious, signature king beds. Soaring ceilings, trendy artworks and kitchenettes lead out to balconies with lounging and dining space. Check out the likes of the Mega Suite or E-Wow Suite for their opulent standard of living and features like an outdoor rain shower and ocean-facing bathtub.

Shaded by palms, the picturesque pools have sunloungers and cabanas for lazy, endlessly sunny days. When you want to feel the sand between your toes, summon a Beach Ambassador to furnish you with towels, treats and tips on the best beach spots. Work on your serve or slam dunk at the rooftop tennis and basketball courts, hire jet-skis, kite-surfing gear or colourful bicycles, or maybe update your beach look at the W Store before hitting the area’s myriad boutiques.

As eclectic as the area itself, The Dutch is an American diner, oyster house and seaside shack all rolled into one. Expect local produce, choice cuts of meat, and the freshest fish and shellfish in a menu curated by lauded chef Andrew Carmellini. A-list hangout Mr Chow is an Asian eatery with sleek black lacquer furniture, intimate outdoor booths and authentic, aromatic cuisine. You’ll also find poolside service at WET and casual eating and drinking at garden hideaway Grove.

Tossing the whale music over the proverbial shoulder, the spa geniuses at Bliss keep it light with rhythm and blues tunes, a no-attitude approach and a brownie buffet for those who don’t like carrot sticks. Waxing, skincare, manis and pedis, stress-busting massages and body treatments fit for VIPs are all catered for here, and you are sure to leave transformed thanks to the latest techniques and products.
