The Beacon South Beach offers the perfect respite before or after your cruise from Miami.

Rest your head at this iconic South Beach hotel.

Miami’s South Beach is one of the most photogenic neighborhoods in the United States, if not the world, where the colorful geometry of pastel-painted Art Deco buildings meets the sandy, palm-lined beaches and gazes over the ocean to an endless horizon. Half the people seem to have stepped out of a postcard — or maybe they’re models fresh from their latest fashion shoot. This is where the Beacon South Beach shines, here in the heart of it all.

The 1930s-era hotel is part of the historic Art Deco district, directly on Ocean Drive, the beachfront boulevard where the action happens. So while you’re sitting at The Place — the sidewalk restaurant in front of the hotel — expect plenty of passersby to stop and take

pictures. (It’s not you, it’s the building.)

Living Art

The inside is just as stylish, with original terrazzo floors and a small bar in the brightly colored lobby, under the curved railing of the second-story mezzanine lounge and business center.

The stylish hotel boasts 75 rooms (including 500-square-foot one-bedroom suites) with interior appointments that are neat and welldesigned. Hotel amenities include a fitness center, meeting rooms, little garden spaces, and hundreds of tiny, thoughtful touches. For example, there’s free Wi-Fi and luxury linens on the ultra- comfortable Serta Heavenly mattresses. Breakfasts are complimentary, as are beach chairs and towels for getting the most out of your day at the beach, which is right across the street.

Place to Be

The Beacon South Beach is less than five minutes from PortMiami, right across Ocean Drive from the palms of Lummus Park, the liveliest beach in Miami. And there’s even more to do within easy walking distance.

A block or two west, and you’re in the middle of the nightclub scene. Walk north on Ocean Drive, and you’re surrounded by laid-back bars and world-class restaurants. A few steps farther, and you’re in the shopping district, where tony boutiques and name-brand stores await.

In addition, the hotel’s proximity to the port means it offers pre/post cruise packages that include a discounted room rate, same-day breakfast, luggage storage, and complimentary drop-off for two at the terminal. Find out more at BeaconSouthBeach.com.
