Room at The Raleigh Hotel, Miami Beach, FLDespite its rich history, the 1940s, beachfront Raleigh Hotel feels fated for the 21st century. Its classic style was ripe for the picking when it was purchased by trendsetter André Balazs, of New York's Mercer and Los Angeles' Standard fame. Placing a heavy emphasis on service, Balazs has taken this L. Murray Dixon-designed deco landmark and maintained its integrity while streamlining it for the hipster crowd. Among the features he's showcasing are the scallop-shaped swimming pool (once graced by Esther Williams) and pool area, and the 300-foot private beach oasis (a real luxury in this overcrowded area). Of the 104 guest rooms and suites, the most spectacular is the 6,000-square-foot, three-bedroom penthouse with a nearly 2,000-square-foot terrace. Rooms and public areas have complimentary Wi-Fi access. Wining and dining options consist of Oasis Lounge, Legendary martini bar and the house restaurant. When you're ready to spa, there's a private shuttle to sister property The Standard's extensive facility over on Lido Island.
