During your Miami vacation, don't miss these great establishments and attractions:
Miami Art Museum at the Miami-Dade Cultural Center
The Miami Art Museum (MAM) features an eclectic mix of modern and contemporary works by such artists as Eric Fischl, Max Beckmann, Jim Dine, and Stuart Davis. Rotating exhibitions span the ages and styles, and often focus on Latin American or Caribbean artists. There are also fantastic themed exhibits such as the Andy Warhol exhibit, which featured all-night films by the artist, make-your-own pop art, cocktail hours, and parties with local DJs. JAM at MAM is the museum's popular happy hour, which takes place the third Thursday of the month and is tied in to a particular exhibit. Almost as artistic as the works inside the museum is the composite sketch of the people -- young and old -- who attend these events.The Miami-Dade Cultural Center, where the museum is housed, is a fortresslike complex designed by Phillip Johnson. In addition to the acclaimed Miami Art Museum, the center houses the main branch of the Miami-Dade Public Library, which sometimes features art and cultural exhibits, and the Historical Museum of Southern Florida, which highlights the fascinating history of the area. Unfortunately, the plaza onto which the complex opens is home to many of downtown Miami's homeless population, which makes it a bit off-putting but not dangerous.
Murder, Mystery and Mayhem Bus Tour
Visit the past by video and bus to Miami-Dade's most celebrated crimes and criminals from the 1800s to the present. From the murder spree of the Ashley Gang to the most notorious murders and crimes of our century, including the murder of designer Gianni Versace, historian Paul George conducts a most fascinating 3-hour tour of scandalous proportions.
Jewish Museum of Florida
Chronicling over 230 years of Jewish heritage and experiences in Florida, the Jewish Museum presents a fascinating look at religion and culture through films, lectures, and exhibits such as "Mosaic: Jewish Life in Florida," which features over 500 photos and artifacts documenting the Jewish experience in Florida since 1763. The museum also delves into the Jewish roots of Latin America. The museum is housed in a former synagogue.
The Palms South Beach
A $5 million renovation has transformed this formerly shabby, uninspired oceanfront tourist trap into an antebellum tropical oasis in which Art Deco meets Gone with the Wind. Lush tropical landscaping, both indoors and out, is a welcome respite from the hustle and bustle on congested Collins Avenue. In fact, the landscaping renovations of the hotel were so impressive, Fairchild Tropical Garden opened a gift shop at the hotel, The Palm Collection by Fairchild Tropical Garden, which offers an impressive collection of items for the home and garden. Upon arrival, guests receive the hotel's signature welcome drink, O'Mango Infusion, and on Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays, the hotel offers Yoga Under the Palms, complimentary Yoga sessions taking place in and around the hotel's garden. Rooms have been spruced up beautifully, bordering on boutiquey, with high-tech amenities, and if you're so inclined, you can take advantage of the hotel's Relax and Rejuvinate spa-treatments in the comfort of your own room. A huge outdoor area is landscaped with palms and hibiscus and has a large freshwater pool as its centerpiece. It faces a popular boardwalk for runners and strollers as well as a large beach where watersports equipment is available. To sway you from leaving the premises, the Palms has an excellent beach service, a "PoolCierge," in which umbrellas, towels, lounges, and, of course, that tropical drink with a paper umbrella are just a short order away. Note: This hotel is not in South Beach, as the name would have you believe. However, it is in the heart of Miami Beach and is only a short ride to South Beach. The hotel now offers a "Palms and Parrots Family Package," a 2-night package featuring tickets for the entire family to Parrot Jungle Island in Miami Beach and includes a welcome basket of tropically-themed snacks for the kids.
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.
The Beach House Hotel
The Beach House Hotel is the closest thing the city has to a summer beach home -- comfortable, unpretentious, and luxurious, yet decidedly low-key. In place of an elaborate hotel lobby, the public spaces of the Beach House are divided into a series of intimate homey environments, from the wicker-furnished screened-in porch to the Asian-inspired Bamboo Room, with overstuffed Ralph Lauren leather couches and Japanese bric-a-brac. The 24-hour Pantry, inspired by Long Island's Sagaponack General Store, is packed with all the needs of the hotel's "unplugged" urban clientele.The ultraspacious rooms (those ending in 04 are the most spacious) are literally brimming with the comforts of home. The Seahorse Bar features a giant tank of -- you guessed it -- sea horses. The 200-foot private beach, hammock grove, and topiary garden are so lush, they're said to have caused several New York hipsters to renege on their summer shares in the Hamptons in favor of this Beach House.
