New York cool meets South Beach glitz at this 334-room tower resort, some of whose features teeter on the fine line between hip and publicity stunt (there's a private lounge set behind a 50-foot long glass shark tank). But the seaside location, the multi-level beach club designed by Stephane Dupoux and enormous rooftop pool area cannot be beat, and the hotel draws a sexy clientele. -reviewed by Indagare Travel, Inc.
Mandarin Oriental Miami

What the hotel lacks in beachfront—the private, man-made beach is for lounging and tanning only, since Biscayne Bay below cannot be reached easily on foot— it makes up for in amenities (think butlers handing out iPods, Bulgari towels and Evian misters). Wellness aficionados should not miss the seventeen-room spa. -reviewed by Indagare Travel, Inc.

Managed by the company of Adrian Zecha—the mastermind of the Aman hotels—the Setai is an Asian-Zen enclave in midst of South Beach's liveliest nightlife. Be aware: it's also one of the most expensive properties in town, but devotees are willing to splurge on top service and the tranquility of the guest rooms. -reviewed by Indagare Travel, Inc.

Fans of this intimate, low-key hotel (including Jennifer Lopez, Ben Affleck and Bono) would prefer to keep it off the South Beach radar forever. Even the smallest suite measures 550 square feet, and all rooms have ocean views and whimsical chic interiors by cool LA designer Kelly Wearstler. -reviewed by Indagare Travel, Inc.
