During your Miami vacation, don't miss these great establishments and attractions:
Diaspora Vibe Art Gallery
This culturally charged art complex is a funky artist hangout and is the home to some of the greatest artworks of Miami's diverse Caribbean, Latin American, and African-American cultures. The gallery has two seasons of shows, often focusing on emerging artists. During the winter, three artists are selected by the gallery to travel to and exhibit their works in Paris. On the last Friday of every month, from May through October, the gallery holds its fabulous cocktail-infused "Final Fridays." A new artist's work is spotlighted inside, while outside in the courtyard are live music performances and readings of poetry and folk tales. Delicious Caribbean cuisine is also served while the who's who of Miami's cognoscenti gather here to recharge their cultural batteries.
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.
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.
Loews Hotel
The Loews Hotel is one of the largest beach hotels to arrive in South Beach in almost 30 years, consuming an unprecedented 900 feet of oceanfront. This 800-room behemoth is considered an eyesore by many, an architectural triumph by others. However you perceive it, you can't miss the hotel's multitiered cone-shaped 18-story tower perched high above the rest of South Beach. Rooms are a bit boxy and bland: nothing to rave about, but are clean and have new carpets and bedspreads to erase signs of early wear and tear from the hotel's heavy traffic.The best rooms are those that do not face the very congested Collins Avenue, since those tend to be quite noisy. Though Loews attempts to maintain the intimacy of an Art Deco hotel while trying to accommodate business travelers, it is so large that it tends to feel like a convention hall. You're not going to get personal doting service here, but the staff does try, even if it takes them awhile. If you can steer your way through all the name-tagged business people in the lobby, which, thanks to a popcorn machine, smells much like a mega-plex, you can escape to the pool (with an undisputedly gorgeous, landscaped entrance that's more Maui than Miami), which is large enough to accommodate families and conventioneers alike. In addition to children's fare such as the Loews Loves Kids program -- featuring special menus, tours, welcome gifts for children under 10, supervised programs, free accommodations for children under 18, and the Generation G program for grandparents and grandkids traveling together -- the hotel hosts fun activities for adults, too, such as Dive in Movies at the pool, salsa lessons, and bingo. In November 2003, star chef Emeril Lagasse opened Miami's first ever Emeril's restaurant here, making the Lowes a bigger focal point for seeing and being seen than ever before.
Conrad Miami
Although you won't find ubiquitous Hilton heiresses Paris and Nicky at this business oriented hotel (they hang out on South Beach), you will find luxury-lovers who have no interest in minimalism and J-Lo spottings and, instead, prefer to bask in the Hilton brand of luxury. The Conrad Miami joins its London, Hong Kong, Bangkok, Brussels, and New York siblings in the form of this 203-room, 36-floor skyscraper located in the heart of Miami's financial district, which opened in January 2004. While at first you may feel as if you're in an office building, once you walk over the bridge across a sparkling pool, visions of cramped cubicles and bad lighting will immediately disappear. The lobby is located on the 26th floor, which is illuminated by a magnificent atrium that shares the attention with a restaurant, lounge, and bar and splits the difference between the 203-guest rooms and the 116 fully serviced luxury apartments. All rooms feature hyper-high-tech amenities such as flatscreen TVs, and, best of all, INNCOM, a bedside remote that controls all lights, thermostat, and do not disturb signs in the room. Because this is a condo-hotel, expect nothing but the best in amenities, including a superbly-equipped fitness center, two tennis courts, and a remarkable swimming pool. Also set to open is an upscale retail center, with stores in which only the likes of the Hilton sisters can afford to shop.
The Four Seasons
Deciding between the hyper luxe Mandarin Oriental or the equally luxe, albeit somewhat museum-like (the artwork in the lobby, including originals by Fernando Botero render most guests as silent as if they were examining the Mona Lisa) Four Seasons is almost like trying to tell the difference between Ava and Zsa Zsa Gabor. There are some obvious differences and some similarities, but they're all kind of subtle. Flip a coin and decide where you prefer to stay, because they are both spectacular in their own rights. While the architecturally striking Mandarin is located on the semi-private Brickell Key, the equally striking, albeit in an office-building kind of way, 70-story Four Seasons is located on the more bustling Brickell Avenue, the thoroughfare of business transactions. Both have water views that are spectacular. The 221 rooms and 39 suites are luxuriously appointed, and, like the Mandarin, service here is paramount. It's much quieter here at the Four Seasons, the favored stay of camera-shy, agoraphobic celebrities and business moguls. Most rooms overlook Biscayne Bay and while all rooms are cushy, thanks to the hotel's signature "untucked" beds, the bland decor leaves little to be desired, really. The best rooms are the corner suites with views facing both south and east over the water. The hotel's restaurant, Acqua, serves fantastic, surprisingly affordable, Italian fare, with floor to ceiling windows overlooking the pool area, but has yet to surpass the excellence coming out of the kitchen at the Mandarin's deservedly lauded Azul. The 40,000 square foot Splash Spa and Sports Club LA here is inimitable, but if you prefer a spa that's not as sprawling and a bit less harried, the Mandarin's got it beat. What the Four Seasons has over the Mandarin, however, are two more pools -- a total of three gorgeous pools spread out on over 2 acres (this explains why the Mandarin Oriental recently debuted its sprawling beach club, an amenity the Four Seasons does not have). Bahia, the Latin-American influenced pool bar complete with pre-Castro Cuban musical trio, is the scene for young, upscale movers and shakers. A phenomenal kids program makes the Four Seasons more desirable than the Mandarin, where kids are typically bored. It's hard to choose between the two uber-luxurious properties, but one thing that remains consistent at both is that you won't be deprived of the lavish, luxe treatment that you're paying so dearly for.
