The Fontainebleau is Miami's hotel of legends. Known throughout the world, it was a celebrity haunt in the 50s and 60s. Competition was fierce between the Fontainebleau and the Eden Roc, and it's still not sure which establishment was the more popular among stars. Now it's your turn to be the star, so enjoy a night or two of unadulterated luxury in this sprawling establishment where nothing is lacking.

The Soho Beach House is a charming little hotel located on the quieter part of Collins Avenue. Previously a members-only club, the hotel has been open to the public since October 2010. The hotel is a cross between an old English pub and beach house and sits right on Miami Beach. The quirky touches like the free photo booth and the playful Cowshed products add a contemporary touch. The major advantages here are its spacious, luxury beach house style rooms and its entirely wooden spa. The hotel is intimate yet extremely animated in the lobby area due to the bustling Cecconi's restaurant, which is also open to the public. For those of you looking for peace and quiet and more intimacy, the Soho Beach House isn't the best option, however, complete with a pool, easy beach access, and high quality tastefully decorated rooms, the hotel is ideal for couples and groups of friends looking for a lively base in a quieter part of South Beach to explore the city from.

The first thing that should be said about the Grand Beach Hotel is that you don't come here for its charm, originality, or location. The place is appealing to families who wish to make the most of the sun and Miami's beautiful beach.

If you're in Miami and looking for exotic, green, and lush surroundings, head for The Palms Hotel. Its quaint atmosphere will immerse you in a pleasantly laidback world. To be enjoyed without moderation. The only snag is that the hotel is a bit far from Miami's sights of interest.

The Premier Hotel South Beach is an ultra design hotel where partying is the name of the game. As proof, it has two trendy nightclubs and a rooftop terrace with a swimming pool where major parties open to the general public are organised every Saturday night. It is therefore recommended for clubbers and young people.

Cool, sassy and fun, the W South Beach is without doubt one of the highest-profile hotels in Miami and not without good reason. The most impressive aspect of the hotel is its $60 million collection of contemporary art alongside its impressive range of high quality facilities such as its bar, restaurants and pool. It is also located on the beach in a quieter part of SoBe. The hotel is one of the largest in the city and so lacks a little intimacy. A major downer however, is that the rooms severely lack ergonomics and the high quality finish that is expected for the prices charged. Otherwise the gimmicky hotel is fun, young and dynamic and is ideal for a wide-ranging clientele from groups of friends to families and couples.

Although the hotel does welcome families, it is recommended that the children be extremely well-behaved to avoid any steely glares from Miami's high-society.

We really fell in love with this cosy, charming little hotel and its somewhat outdated tropical feel. The restaurant and its terrace area are a great place to relax in the shade of the nearby trees, whilst the lush little green Art Deco-style garden and pool area have a really fresh feel to them. In a nutshell, an unpretentious hotel but a perfectly pleasant place for a quiet stay in Miami.

The Versace Mansion has been converted into a small and very exclusive hotel now known as The Villa by Barton G. As you can imagine, there is nothing ordinary about this little haven of peace, quiet, fashion and flamboyancy! True to Mr Versace himself, Barton G has kept his spirit alive by keeping everything as it was with a few minor alterations. You can rent Madonna's suite (the only one with a bath tub) or Elton John's, both of whom were the designer's very close friends. For those of you who can afford it, this is a beautiful hotel to stay at for its stunning pool with 24 carat gold mosaics and meticulous personalised service. A world-famous landmark worth stopping by for a couple of nights.

Without doubt one of our favourite hotels, the very stylish Viceroy Miami has it all with interiors by Kelly Wearstler and a spa designed by Philippe Starck that will wow you over and over again. Although a little bit big to be defined as a boutique hotel, everything has been carefully studied to give the same impact design-wise. Throw in the flawless service, the spacious rooms and the incredible food at the Eos restaurant, the Viceroy Miami runs right into our top three hotels in Miami. The hotel is located Downtown, far from the South Beach hubbub, so it isn't the best choice for those of you looking for a hotel centered around a beach atmosphere, but if you plan on hiring a car, the journey is worth it if what you are looking for is excellence from house-keeping to design. For those of you with young families, the hotel is a lot more child friendly than its quirky design lets on. With the longest roof-top swimming pool in Florida, if not the entire United States, kids will be enthralled for hours.

Slightly out of place among Ocean Drive's colourful Art-Deco hotels, the upscale ethical and art-loving boutique Betsy (a Small Leading Hotel of the World) is one of our favourite establishments in Miami. Combining colonial cool with contemporary casual, this is the ideal place to stay for a wide-ranging clientele including yummy mummies who thank the bulky doormen with a "Thank you honey-bunny". An attractive hotel that has mastered understated elegance down to a T, has all the facilities you would want on holiday, from a rooftop spa to a renowned steakhouse, a funky chic bar to its very own art collection, the Betsy is one of the more pleasant places to stay in Miami. Located right across from Miami Beach, a stay here is ideal for couples as well as families with a big budget as a stay here does not come cheap.

This legendary Miami hotel is packed full of history and tales from days gone by. When you see the imposing building, you are taken right back into the past, and you almost expect to see Al Capone and his cronies drinking cocktails at the bar, or even President Franklin Roosevelt drifting past on a gondola along the canals. The Biltmore is a long way from everything, so it is not really the ideal place to stay if you wish to experience the hectic activity of Miami Beach.

This is Philippe Starck's second opus in Miami, following the Delano designed in the 80s. By a strange twist of fate the SLS is the building next door. The SLS is THE place to see and be seen. It is the latest addition to its Los Angeles namesake. SLS is expanding across the country. Soon it will be possible to travel across America from one SLS to another! And life will be designer! Hats off to the artist for this magnificent work of art! It would take just one tiny adjustment to make this a superb hotel - bigger guest rooms.
