Grand Beach Hotel ★★★★

Fully renovated and boasting bright, spacious rooms, the four-star Grand Beach Hotel is the perfect choice when visiting Miami Beach. The crisp white decor creates a sophisticated, fresh, modern atmosphere and offers stunning vistas from the floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the ocean, Biscayne Bay or the impressive Miami skyline.

Whether you prefer to hang out on the hotel's private beach or around one of several pools, you can take your pick here – with two pretty beachfront pools and the tranquillity pool, an adult-only oasis on the 7th floor. With several hot tubs, you can relax and enjoy the views whilst sipping a tasty pina colada or a cold, refreshing beer from the Sunset Bar.

Try out the cuisine at the tasty poolside Chez Gaston Restaurant, which is open all day for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Treat yourself to a pre-dinner drink in the serene lobby lounge, which transforms into an elegant and chic cocktail bar when the sun goes down. Then there is the espresso gelato bar, which has you covered if you're after coffee or delicious ice cream.

Make the most of the well-equipped 24-hour fitness centre, or try the massage and spa treatments in your room, on the beach or by the pool. With daily yoga sessions available, you'll feel tip-top and rejuvenated after your stay.

Beyond the hotel, stroll along the stunning Miami Beach Broadwalk and head to the famed South Beach and Ocean Drive with its vibrant nightlife, Art Deco architecture and plenty of dining, shopping and people-watching opportunities. Wander the tree-lined pedestrian-only Espanola Way to soak in its historic Spanish street vibe or stroll around green spaces such as Lummus Park. Visit museums like The Bass Museum of Art or the Art Deco Museum for your arts and culture fix.
