South Beach
The Gale's exterior is an admirable re-creation of classic boxy deco aesthetic expanded to the grand dimensions of a modern SoBe super resort. This blend of classic and haute South Beach carries on indoors, where you'll find bright rooms with a handsome color scheme, sharp lines and a retro chic vibe inspired by the Mid-Century Modern movement.
The elegant rooftop pool is rather narrow but gets sun all day, and the bar and restaurant are a major draw, even for those not staying in the hotel.
