Whitelaw Hotel

The lounge-design city beach hotel is a shining pearl in the South Beach/Miami Beach area. The hotel's slogan reads, 'Clean sheets, hot water, stiff drinks': the clean sheets are Belgian, the hot water falls onto marble, and the stiff drinks are indescribable. Facilities on offer to guests at this air-conditioned establishment include a lobby area with a 24-hour reception and check-out service, a hotel safe, a currency exchange facility, a cafe and a bar. Valet parking is available for USD 30 plus tax per day.

Guests can dive into an atmosphere of deep relaxation inspired by the accommodation: white-on-white spaces that manage to avoid the sterile feel of most colourless hotel rooms. The lush, cloud-like beds are borderline sinful and come fully dressed in Belgian sheets. After a late night out or a long day at the beach it feels like heaven to take a hot shower in the glass and limestone bathroom, slip into a waffle-weave spa robe and dive into the big, fluffy bed. The rooms are equipped with a hairdryer, a king-size or double bed, a direct dial telephone, a TV, a hifi with CD player, a radio and Internet access. They also feature a minibar, a safe and tea and coffee making facilities, while individually adjustable air conditioning and heating are provided in all accommodation as standard.

The hotel charges a resort fee of USD 15 per room, per night (rate subject to change).
