Explore our picks and start planning your stylish getaway!

For a chic stay

The Celino

  • The sleek, sophisticated and chic design of The Celino screams Art Deco. From the loud, acidic artwork of this New Age beachside bolthole, to the light-filled, boutique rooms with their pale wood furnishings and hand-tufted rugs, it's smart and stylish and just so Miami. The views of the ocean - a short walk away - are truly mesmerising; the beachside bar and Italian restaurant make it one of the most romantic Art Deco hotels in Miami.
  • Step into 1930s Art Deco glamour at The Marlin, where airy, minimalist rooms feel effortlessly chic. Sip cocktails at the stylish bar or savour bold flavours at the on-site Asian-fusion restaurant. Perfect for a romantic getaway or a trendy Miami escape.

For old world glamour

Guestroom

  • The Betsy Hotel radiates the Old World glamour so synonymous with Art Deco. The last of the Georgian houses of Ocean Drive, it boasts a state-of-the-art open-air rooftop spa where you can take your dog, and an award-winning steakhouse; then, you can walk barefoot down the lawn to the beach. The plush rooms are a real draw with their hardwood floors, marble bathrooms and original artworks. A truly memorable stay.

For families

The Sugar Factory

  • Hotel Victor is a great option for families. Rooms are beautifully decked out, and many benefit from ocean views. Plus there's world-class sushi, a pool in the shade of palms, and smart, light-filled rooms. And the best bit for families? If you're travelling with children under 12 they stay for free in existing beds.
  • Warm and elegant rooms patterned in chintzy fabrics, a marble lobby furnished in swirling shapes, and a neon-lit pool set high above the palms - welcome to The Hotel of South Beach. An affordable, family-friendly stay, painted like a multicoloured Atlantic sunset, it was styled by designer Todd Oldham. Families, take note: 2 children under 12 stay for free when using existing beds; 1 child under 4 stays free in a cot.
  • Another good option for families is Cadillac Hotel & Beach Club. The property has a laid-back European vibe, the rooms are chic white with pops of nautical colours and the floor to ceiling windows offer views to die for. Families love the dedicated Kids' Concierge, beach toys, family pool and wide range of child-friendly accommodation.

For business travellers

Bar

  • Rooms at The National Hotel echo 1950s sophistication, offering a quiet, elegant space to work or relax. The wood-panelled bar with its grand piano is ideal for informal meetings, while high-speed Wi-Fi and spacious work areas support productivity. After hours, the palm-lined, record-breaking pool provides a refreshing escape from the day’s demands.

For a beach vibe

The Plymouth

  • The Plymouth blends a laid-back, beach-club style with Art Deco elegance. The spacious rooms are decked out in faded pastels, elegant and smart, while the beach-y bar, adorned in bamboo, is a great place to sink a cocktail. Boasting a private stretch of beach, and its own sushi bar, it's one of the coolest Art Deco hotels in Miami.

For romance

Gale South Beach

  • Couples love Gale South Beach for any number of reasons: the rooftop pool and bar are obviously a godsend, but if you book the Queen or King Terrace room, you get your own private terrace with spellbinding views of Miami. The rooms are coloured in gentle whites, arctic blues and monochromes, kitted out with sink-into beds; the leafy, rooftop dining is a delight, and the cocktail bar is the definition of 1920s Art Deco.

For all out decadence

Premier Oceanfront Suite

  • From the bronze-pillared hallway, to the 22,000 square foot wellness centre, Faena Miami Beach boasts unbeatable luxury. One of the most pampering Art Deco hotels in Miami, it's a spellbinding stay; whether you're taking in a performance of the hotel's own cabaret troupe at the on-site theatre, sunbathing on the private beach, or dining at one of the three restaurants, you'll be spoiled rotten.
