The Shelborne

Why choose between the ocean and the skyline when The Shelborne will let you have both? The 2,500-square-foot, high design luxury living space lets you get a million-dollar view of each. With all the space, plus a made-for-entertaining dining room and modern amenities, you won't want to leave — even though your hotel is smack-dab on the middle of South Beach.

Cost: The penthouse of the Shelborne is often rented, so make sure to call for reservations, which (for summer rates) will cost you around $3,000 a night.

The Shelborne, 1801 Collins Avenue (between 18th and 19th Streets); 305-531-1271.
