During your Miami vacation, don't miss these great establishments and attractions:
Spanish Monastery Cloisters
Did you know that the alleged oldest building in the Western Hemisphere dates from 1133 and is located in Miami? The Spanish Monastery Cloisters were first erected in Segovia, Spain for St. Bernard de Clairvaux, an influential church figure. Centuries later, newspaper magnate William Randolph Hearst purchased and brought them to America in pieces. The carefully numbered stones were quarantined for years until they were finally reassembled on the present site in 1954. It has often been used as a backdrop for weddings, movies, and commercials and is a very popular tourist attraction.
Venetian Pool
Miami's most beautiful and unusual swimming pool, dating from 1924, is hidden behind pastel stucco walls and is honored with a listing in the National Register of Historic Places. Underground artesian wells feed the free-form lagoon, which is shaded by three-story Spanish porticos and features both fountains and waterfalls. It can be cold in the winter months. During summer, the pool's 800,000 gallons of water are drained and refilled nightly thanks to an underground aquifer, ensuring a cool, clean swim. Visitors are free to swim and sunbathe here, just as Esther Williams and Johnny Weissmuller did decades ago. For a modest fee, you or your children can learn to swim during special summer programs.
Herencia Hispana Tour
For those looking to immerse themselves in Miami's rich Latin-American culture, the Herencia Hispana Tour is the ideal way to explore it all. Hop on a bus and zoom past such hotbeds of Latin activity as downtown's Flagler Street, the unavoidable Elián González house, the Latin American Art Museum, and Little Havana's Domino Park and Tower Theater, among others. Not just a sightseeing tour, this one includes two very knowledgeable, albeit corny, guides who know just when to infuse a necessary dose of humor into a segment of history that some people may not consider so amusing.
Clay Hotel & International Hostel
A member of the International Youth Hostel Federation (IYHF), the Clay occupies a beautiful 1920s-style Spanish Mediterranean building at the corner of historic Española Way. Like other IYHF members, this hostel is open to all ages and is a great place to meet people. The usual smattering of Australians, Europeans, and other budget travelers makes it Miami's best clearinghouse of "insider" travel information. Even if you don't stay here, you might want to check out the ride board or mingle with fellow travelers over a beer at the sidewalk cafe.Although a thorough renovation in 1996 made this hostel an incredible value and a step above any others in town, don't expect nightly turndown service or chocolates. But, for a hostel, it's full of extras. Ninety rooms have private baths and 12 VIP rooms have balconies overlooking quaint Española Way. There are also male and female dorm rooms with four to six beds and private bathrooms. You will find occasional movie nights, an outdoor weekend market, and a tour desk with car rental available. Reservations for private rooms are essential in season and recommended year-round. Don't bother with a car in this congested area.
Hotel Place St. Michel
This European-style hotel, in the heart of Coral Gables, is one of the city's most romantic options. The accommodations and hospitality are straight out of Old World Europe, complete with dark wood-paneled walls, cozy beds, beautiful antiques, and a quiet elegance that seems startlingly out of place in trendy Miami. Everything here is charming -- from the brass elevator and parquet floors to the paddle fans. One-of-a-kind furnishings make each room special. Bathrooms are on the smaller side but are hardly cramped. All have shower/tub combos except for two, which have either or. If you're picky, request your preference. Guests are treated to fresh fruit upon arrival and enjoy perfect service throughout their stay. The exceptional Restaurant St. Michel is a very romantic dining choice.
The Shore Club
What used to be a concrete canyon, a mod-version of the eerily deserted house in The Shining, is now the hottest and hautest stay in South Beach thanks to one thing in particular: Hip hotelier Ian Schrager rescued it from its first, floundering owner. That, not to mention Florida's first ever Nobu sushi restaurant and cocktail lounge (a major hit in New York, Las Vegas, Paris, and London), and a celebrity clientele that would fill up an entire issue of Us Weekly have made The Shore Club a sure thing. Because this hotel is infinitely more cavernous than its (not as) hipster neighbor, The Delano, publicity-shy celebs such as Janet Jackson and Denzel Washington have been known to call this place their home away from home. Then again, publicity hog Leonardo DiCaprio also had no qualms slumber partying with his posse here. Neither did Britney Spears, Beyonce Knowles, Jay-Z, and, well, you get the picture (and if you're lucky, you'll really get the picture and make a fortune from the tabloids, but beware of behemoth bodyguards). Stellar crowd aside, the hotel's interior still leaves a lot to be desired, especially amongst those who marvel in Shrager Hotels' signature-Starck-designed lobbies -- the lobby here is sorely lacking in personality. But that's all forgotten once you reach the centerpiece and focal point of the place -- the resplendent oasis of chic out back. A Miami outpost of L.A.'s celeb-laden SkyBar reigns supreme with a Marrakech-meets-Miami motif that stretches throughout the hotel's sprawling pool, patio, and garden areas. Beware of surly doormen if you're not a hotel guest. In March 2003, L.A.'s hottest Italian eatery, Ago (and its extremely pricey pasta), opened here with much fanfare and an appearance by co-owner Robert DeNiro, who hasn't been back since.The Shore Club also boasts that 80% of its 325 rooms have an ocean view. Contrary to the cold, cavernous lobby, exquisite gardens draw guests toward the beach through courtyards and reflecting pools. Rooms are loaded with state-of-the-art amenities, not to mention 400-thread-count linen bedding, Mexican sandstone flooring in the bathroom with custom-designed glass, and an enclosed "wet area" with bathtub, shower, and teak bench. (Molton Brown bathroom amenities are worth bringing an extra bag for.) If you can't afford the penthouse or a poolside cabana, consider an Ocean View room, which is stellar in its own right, with its massive, two-nozzled shower-tub combo that's almost better than a day at the beach. If you are wondering whether to choose the still somewhat hip mainstay, the Delano, over this hotel, consider that The Shore Club is much larger, newer, hungrier for the hipsters, and its rooms boast a bit more personality than the Delano's.
