Loews Miami Beach Hotel, Miami

Location

Head the other way, and you’ll find yourself among the restaurants and bars of Ocean Drive or the shops of Lincoln road. Or, simply walk the streets and let the Art Deco architecture transport you to the optimism and forward-thinking roots of Miami’s moniker, ‘The Magic City’. If you want a little more information, head to the museums and art galleries that tell this city’s fascinating cultural story.

Accommodation

All 790 rooms are decorated in relaxing earth tones complemented by soft Art Deco pastels and pops of beach-chic. Marble en suite bathrooms, walk-in showers and complimentary WiFi round off the seaside resort feel. Choose between city views of Miami’s bright lights or ocean panoramas of the twinkling Atlantic over the sands of South Beach. Larger suites offer the best vantage points through wraparound windows and balconies.

Dining

As you’d imagine for a hotel this size, you’ll be spoilt for choice in terms of restaurants. Lure Fishbar, Loews’ signature offering, serves up a full range of locally sourced seafood from fresh shellfish and shucked oysters to sushi and lobster. Preston’s adds a typically Miamian Latin twist to locally sourced American cuisine while Sobe Social serves a selection of tapas-inspired dishes. For a more relaxed dining experience, look to the hotel’s bars, lounges and grills or end the evening in Sobe Scoops for a selection of ice cream and sweets.

Facilities

The hotel’s centrepiece, its oversized swimming pool, is fringed by imported date palms. Make the most of their shade with a chilled fruit smoothie courtesy of the poolside concierge or catch up on your exercise regime at the hotel’s fully equipped fitness centre. For the ultimate in relaxation, however, head to the hotel’s spa with sessions ranging from yoga to facials but don’t forget, there are always the delights of Miami’s South Beach on your doorstep.
