Hotel Victor South Beach ★★★★

Hotel Victor describes itself as the ‘essence of South Beach’, something that cannot be argued with in terms of its ideal location. Located in the Art Deco District across from the Atlantic Ocean and the golden sands of South Beach, which is the home to some 800 structures of historical significance and was the first 20th century neighbourhood to be recognised by the National Register of Historic Places. With the vast Atlantic Ocean in front of you and the vibrant cityscape behind, the hotel serves as the perfect base to explore the exclusive area and all it has to offer.

But there is so much more to this hotel than its superb location. As you enter your King Superior hotel room, you will be immediately enveloped by stylish comfort. Whilst enjoying your complementary bottle of Prosecco, a glance around the room will uncover airy and modern furnishings made up of neutral and natural tones and materials, designed by Yabu Pushelberg. This chic beach style interior reflects the beautiful Miami Beach vista that can be seen from your window, as well as echoing the Art Deco architecture of the neighbourhood. Plush white bedding, bathrobes and a huge King Size bed are sure to help you to relax and unwind. Furthermore, to enable you to get the most out of your room during your stay, an assortment of luxurious extras are at your disposal, including a 46inch flat screen TV, an iPod docking station, free international phone calls, a gourmet mini-bar and Gilchrist and Soames toiletry products.

Once you have settled in, a plethora of interesting places and buildings are just waiting to be discovered on your doorstep. The famous Versace mansion, 'The Villa Casuarina', now running as a boutique hotel, is just adjacent. A few blocks away you can also enjoy and South Florida’s premier outdoor shopping experience, and the Lincoln Road Mall is just a short 5 minute drive away. However, if you prefer to travel on two wheels, you could also take advantage of the hotel’s bicycle rental to see the sights.

After a long day adventuring around the exciting district or even if you have just been relaxing on the beach, make sure to treat yourself to an extra dose of pampering in the hotel’s onsite Spa V. It includes an indulgent Turkish style hammam bath house similar to a sauna, and massages and other spa treatments are also available. Moreover, if you are looking for a delicious bite to eat at the end of a busy day adventuring, you will not have to walk far; the hotel is home to The Sugar Factory American Brasserie, which covers 3000 square feet and has an impressive 100 seat patio overlooking the beach. They serve every type of delicious dish you could think of, including crepes, salads and burgers as well as satisfying deserts. Top it all off with a pool-side cocktail in the Vue Terrace Bar, while gazing out the picturesque scene of the sunset over Ocean Drive and the sea.
