Townhouse Hotel Miami

Category: Miami Beach

Location. Located at the north end of the Art Deco District in Miami Beach, Fla., the Townhouse Hotel Miami sits adjacent to South Beach and the Bass Museum of Art. The beach is one half block from the hotel.
Hotel Features. The hotel's all white lobby contains a 1939 edifice and the original terrazzo floors, while the rest of the hotel is very modern. Complimentary, Parisian style breakfasts are served each morning. Bond St. Lounge, the hotel's basement restaurant serves sushi, sake and Japanese cuisine at communal tables in a minimalist setting. Red lounges, umbrellas and waterbeds grace the rooftop sundeck, where a bar opens on Wednesday through Saturday nights. A glass cubed water tower lit from within sits in the center of the patio. Cardiovascular equipment is located at the end of each hallway.

Guestrooms. Vintage red telephones, beige body pillows and beach balls lend a dorm room atmosphere. Amenities include wireless Internet access for a fee, minibars, cable television and designer toiletries. Bathrooms offer rainforest showerheads.

Expert Tip. As the Florida sun beats down on sunbathers on the rooftop deck, guests sitting on the red cushioned benches are misted by a small waterfall.
