During your Miami vacation, don't miss these great establishments and attractions:
Heritage Miami II Topsail Schooner
This relaxing ride aboard Miami's only tall ship is a fun way to see the city, since it's on a schooner (as opposed to the other tour company's cruising boats), which gives you more of a feel of the water. The 2-hour cruise passes by Villa Vizcaya, Coconut Grove, and Key Biscayne and puts you in sight of Miami's spectacular skyline and island homes. Call to make sure the ship is running on schedule. On Friday, Saturday, and Sunday evenings, there are 1-hour tours to see the lights of the city, for $15 per person.
Miami Nice Excursion Travel and Service
Pick your destination and the Miami Nice tours will take you to the Everglades, Fort Lauderdale, South Beach, the Seaquarium, Key West, Cape Canaveral, or wherever else you desire. The best trip for first-timers is the City Tour, a comprehensive tour of the entire city and its various neighborhoods. If you've got the time, you will definitely want to add on a side trip to the Everglades and/or Key West (though I suggest exploring the Everglades on your own). Included in most Miami trips is a fairly comprehensive city tour narrated by a knowledgeable guide. The company is one of the oldest in town.
Bass Museum of Art
The Bass Museum of Art has expanded and received a dramatically new look, rendering it Miami's most progressive art museum. World-renowned Japanese architect Arata Isozaki designed the magnificent new facility, which has triple the former exhibition space, and added an outdoor sculpture terrace, a museum cafe and courtyard, and a museum shop, among other improvements. In addition to providing space in which to show the permanent collection, exhibitions of a scale and quality not previously seen in Miami will now be featured at the Bass. The museum's permanent collection includes European paintings from the 15th through the early 20th centuries with special emphasis on Northern European art of the Renaissance and baroque periods, including Dutch and Flemish masters such as Bol, Flinck, Rubens, and Jordaens. Past exhibitions have included the works of Picasso, Frida Kahlo, and Francois Marie Banier. The museum also has a lab, The New Information Workshop, making it possible for all aspiring artists to create their own masterpieces on computers for free or a nominal charge.
Ritz-Carlton Coconut Grove
The third and smallest of Miami's Ritz-Carlton hotels opened with a quiet splash in fall 2002, and it is hands down the most intimate of its properties, surrounded by 2 acres of tropical gardens and overlooking Biscayne Bay and the Miami skyline. Decorated in an Italian Renaissance design, the hotel's understated luxury is a welcome addition to an area known for its gaudiness. In addition to the usual Ritz-Carlton standard of service and comfort, the hotel has an excellent, extremely elegant restaurant (with footstools for women to put their purses on, how classy!), Biscaya Grill, whose executive chef, Willis Loughhead, hails from South Beach's much friskier (and since he left, less stellar) Tantra restaurant.
The Delano
Before Ian Schrager revamped (emphasis on the vamp) the neighboring The Shore Club hotel, the Delano was the reigning force in the hierarchy of hip hotel royalty. But that was then. Today, the Delano, a place where smiles from staffers were as rare as snow in Miami, is kinder and gentler, which, for some, takes away the whole cache of staying here. But it certainly still is amusing to look at -- with 40-foot sheer white billowing curtains hanging outside, mirrors everywhere, Adirondack chairs, and faux-fur-covered beds. The rooms are done up sanitarium style: sterile, yet terribly trendy, in pure white save for a perfectly crisp green Granny Smith apple in each room -- the only freebie you're going to get here. A bathroom renovation recently took place in all of the rooms -- but they remain small and spartan.An attractive, white-clad staff looks as if they were hand picked from last month's Vogue. While they may sigh if you ask for something, eventually they'll get it for you. The gym here is great, but it costs $15 a day, even if you are a guest. The fantastic wading pool, thankfully, is free, but get out early to snag a chair. The Blue Door restaurant, formerly part-owned by Madonna, serves lots of attitude with its pricey haute cuisine, and for a quick bite of pricey sashimi, grab a seat at the communal eat-in-kitchen table at Blue Sea, the hotel's superb sushi bar. The lobby's Rose Bar is command central for the chic elite who don't flinch at paying in excess of $10 for a martini. Salvation from the hotel's mod version of Age of Innocence-esque social mores (or lack thereof) is Agua, the rooftop spa, where, if you can afford it, an hour massage while overlooking the ocean is blissful.Facilities: 3 restaurants (featuring the acclaimed Blue Door); bar; large outdoor pool; state-of-the-art David Barton gym; extensive watersports equipment; children's programs; concierge; business center; room service; in-room massage; same-day dry-cleaning and laundry services.
Hotel Victor
This hotel is a victory for Ocean Drive, a street which hasn't seen a fabulous new hotel since The Tides. A sexy hotel with actual substance, Hotel Victor is a hyper luxe, 91-room boutique hotel designed by Parisian Jacques Garcia -- this is his first hotel foray in the United States. Best known for his design work at Paris's tragically hip Hotel Costes and the discriminating Sultan of Brunei, Garcia has lent his exquisite taste to this hotel located on the notoriously tacky Ocean Drive. Located directly across from the ocean and next to the legendary Versace mansion (now a private club), Hotel Victor stands apart from the rest of the cookie cutter minimalist Miami hotels, breaking from bare minimalism and daring to go bold with color and rich fabrics. The opulent lobby is inviting and sceney, with lounges on two levels and an Asian motif, with a large jellyfish tank and hanging lamps resembling the stinging creatures. What also stings is the price tag here, but you're paying for the privilege of staying in a hotel that greets guests with personalized, wireless check in, among other things. Deluxe rooms are just that, all with ocean views and with rich colored satin headboards and curtain trim, white marble, ebony lacquered furniture, a full -- not mini -- bar, flatscreen plasma TVs and massive white marbled bathrooms with infinity edge bathtubs and rain head shower heads. If you can afford it, choose a Pool Bungalow room, with private outdoor shower and terraces leading to the pool area. Ocean Suites feature infinity edge tubs and panoramic views of the ocean. And if you think the inside is sexy, wait until you see the outdoor area, where the gorgeous, second level, oceanview pool is surrounded by oversized daybeds and cabana tents, which, at night turn into a lush VIP lounge for those who rate. The hotel's upscale bistro is also a magnet for the fabulati, but the Turkish Spa is the hottest spot, with its large, unisex steam room, Turkish bath, and heated marble slabs.
