Renovated Miami hotel plans rooftop solarium

The Miami hotel scene heats up with another new place to soak up the sun.

The Betsy Hotel is scheduled to open a rooftop solarium by mid-July. Three stories above Ocean Drive, the rooftop will provide ocean views and a fresh-air retreat both day and night. The solarium also will be home to the hotel's new spa, offering facials, body treatments and massages in three cabanas.

The Betsy is one of several recently renovated Miami hotels. Reopened in January after a complete renovation, the Betsy Hotel now boasts luxurious rooms and a destination restaurant. The hotel's 63 rooms and suites — all decorated in what it calls contemporary tropical colonial design — feature Frette linens, a pillow menu, marble bathrooms, and bath mirrors with built-in LCD TVs and Bose sound. The Betsy's signature restaurant is BLT Steak by award-winning chef Laurent Tourondel.
