Virgin Holidays View
One of Miami's Art Deco masterpieces, this nautically inspired hotel, built in 1939 by Igor Polevitzky, has been described as 'a luxury ocean liner on dry land'! It features a fantastic slanted silver waterwall in the lobby and elegant, minimalist guest rooms with custom-designed fixtures and fittings. Clientele and the local crowd gather at the mezzanine-level pool, which has portholes that allow courtyard strollers an underwater view of swimmers. Order a drink from the very chic Fallabella Bar before heading out into the heart of South Beach for an exciting night on the town!
