Miami
Design guru Ian Schrager's latest Miami venture is a gorgeous retooling of a 1950s Mid-Beach classic. The 294-room property (including 28 bungalows) has deep luxury imprint, while its artfully designed lobby and minimalist rooms stay true to mid-century style.
The best features are the pool with its hanging gardens, the plush spa, a top restaurant (Matador by Jean-Georges), a Studio 54–esque nightclub (called Basement Miami) and an indoor skating rink.
