During your Miami vacation, don't miss these great establishments and attractions:
The Vizcaya Museum and Gardens
Sometimes referred to as the "Hearst Castle of the East," this magnificent villa is more Gatsby-esque than anything else you'll find in Miami. It was built in 1916 as a winter retreat for James Deering, co-founder and former vice president of International Harvester. The industrialist was fascinated by 16th-century art and architecture and his ornate mansion, which took 1,000 artisans 5 years to build, became a celebration of that period. If you love antiques, this place is a dream come true, packed with European relics and works of art from the 16th to the 19th centuries. Most of the original furnishings, including dishes and paintings, are still intact. You will see very early versions of a telephone switchboard, central vacuum cleaning system, elevators, and fire sprinklers. A free guided tour of the 34 furnished rooms on the first floor takes about 45 minutes. The second floor, which consists mostly of bedrooms, is open to tour on your own. The spectacularly opulent villa wraps itself around a central courtyard. Outside, lush formal gardens, accented with statuary, balustrades, and decorative urns, front an enormous swath of Biscayne Bay. Definitely take the tour of the rooms, but immediately thereafter, you will want to wander and get lost in the resplendent gardens.
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.
Bay Escape
This 1-hour air-conditioned cruise will take you past Millionaires' Row and the Venetian Islands for just $15. There's also a food stand and cash bar. The tours are bilingual.
The Clinton Hotel
The former president has nothing to do with this chic boutique hotel, but once he gets a gander of the model types who hang here, he may want to endorse it as his own. The Clinton Hotel is one of South Beach's newest renovated standouts, a formerly decrepit building that has benefited from a $12 million renovation that brings a space-age meets South Beach vibe to the area thanks to funky furniture, a requisite hipster lobby bar, the pricey designer boutique Ona Saez, and a stylish yet vintage Cantonese restaurant, Pao. Although boutique hotels are becoming as dime a dozen as, say, Holiday Inns, this one manages to stand out from the rest thanks to its inner sanctum of serenity that includes a sleek pool, private sunning deck, and rooftop spa.
Greenview
Art Deco takes a decidedly Parisian turn in this 1939 Hohauser hotel completely renovated in 1994 by Parisian designer Chahan Minassian. A member of the family-run Rubell Hotels, the Greenview is located just 2 blocks from the ocean on a quiet corner that's close enough to the action, but far enough away that you'll actually feel secluded from the nearby hyperactivity. Recordings of Edith Piaf and Marlene Dietrich provide background to this elegantly understated hotel, whose jewel-box, living-room-like lobby opens to a serene courtyard. Rooms feature handcrafted furnishings, original Modernist artwork, hardwood floors, and sisal area rugs. Typical at Rubell Hotels is the feel-at-home factor, bolstered by the complimentary baker's breakfast and iced tea and chocolate-chip cookies in the afternoon.
The Sanctuary Hotel of South Beach
Located a bit off the beaten path is this luxe, all-suite resident hotel (meaning people can actually rent or buy rooms and live here) that lives up to its name and then some. Flying into town? Let the Sanctuary's Bentley pick you up in pure bling-bling style. But don't mistake the flashy car as a sign that the hotel is tacky. It's just the opposite. Soothingly modern, all rooms have full, state-of-the-art Italian kitchens, flat plasma screen televisions, and wireless Internet access. In addition, bathrooms come with Jacuzzi tubs, and in-room fridges are stocked with everything you specify before checking into the hotel. A roof deck "bedroom" allows you to relax in the sun, while wading pools are there for you to cool off. The Sanctuary is almost too cool for words, especially with a branch of the world-renowned Sugo Restaurant and Lounge sitting atop the very posh, very contemporary lobby. We think this hotel should be renamed the Swanktuary.
