How does an apartment-style hotel stand out in beautiful, Art Deco-driven Miami Beach? First, it needs a notable patron, which you have in Argentine hotelier Alan Faena, who purchased the property, restored its 520 rooms and christened it Casa Faena. The Mediterranean-style property features contemporary rooms, a sun-drenched courtyard and a garden terrace, where guests can relax and sip cocktails. Though on the western side of Collins Avenue, the beach is but a mere two-minute walk away.
Neighborhood: Think of Mid-Beach as South Beach’s more sophisticated cousin. Great dining and cocktail options attract a more sophisticated, artsy crowd but beautiful views and pristine sand remind you that you’re still in Miami Beach.
