With Miami’s peak season in full swing, we wanted to put some of the area’s top hotels and restaurants on your radar. Whether visiting for the Miami Open, Miami Music Week, Formula 1 or Swim Week, you can always count on these spots.
Where to Stay
Located in the heart of Miami’s social scene, W South Beach has established itself as a celebrity and influencer magnet. The hotel is known to host countless events for global brands and has been a home away from home for travelers looking to experience all Miami has to offer. This spring, W South Beach is at the forefront of Miami Music Week, offering a buzzing oasis steps away from Miami’s most iconic pool parties. The hotel is also slated to host Miami F1’s highly anticipated Once Upon a Kitchen event with Massimo Bottura and GR8 Experience. The W brand’s most successful property has the largest guestrooms in South Beach, each featuring a balcony and ocean views.
The new Esmé Miami Beach Hotel, a former 1920s bohemian artists’ colony, introduces the Spanish-Med lifestyle to South Beach by way of an eight-building “Spanish village.” The boutique hotel features 145 guestrooms, a rooftop, and 13 food and beverage options for guests and locals to enjoy. The Roof at Esmé and speakeasy El Salón became a hot spot for local DJs and offers a secret party hidden in the middle of Esmé village.
Where to Eat
The Drexel at Esmé Miami Beach Hotel
Reminiscent of coastal European towns along the Riviera, The Drexel serves classic yet sophisticated Mediterranean cuisine. The warm, understated restaurant is located on the first floor of Esmé Miami Beach Hotel’s Casa Matanza building. The menu respects old techniques while creating new recipes featuring bright flavors from the charcoal grill and wood oven. Guests can sip delicious cocktails and rare boutique wines from Greece, France, Spain and Italy.
Located in the W South Beach lobby, MR CHOW is a classic culinary experience that delights all senses. Boasting art, fanfare, music, fashion, authentic Chinese cuisine and one of the best Beijing duck preparations in the world, MR CHOW is a favorite for travelers and locals. The venue offers outdoor dining with private rooms and a dining patio, indoor setting, a bar, and a lounge.
