W South Beach
Starwood's W chain caters to a younger "hip" crowd, and its South Beach property typifies this style. The W South Beach is situated directly on the ocean and is just a few miles north of Government Cut, which connects the Atlantic Ocean with Biscayne Bay. The W is approximately an hour's drive away from Biscayne National Park. You can splurge at the W South Beach by luxuriating in their Bliss Spa after a workout in the ultramodern Sweat Fitness Center. Beware, this pampering does not come cheap, and the room rates at the W South Beach are quite expensive.
