Review of Winterhaven Hotel, Miami Beach

National Hotel, Miami Beach

Advantages: Great hotel, great location
Disadvantages: Not that cheap...

We stayed at The National Hotel for a few days last summer, on Collins Avenue, one block from Ocean Drive in the heart of Miami's Art Deco Historical District. Built in 1939, the 13-story National Hotel lobby contains original period antiques and richly designed wood furnishings. It was restored in 1997 to showcase the original Art Deco details (the concierge desk is a precise replica of the original from 1939 !), this hotel is a visual delight for Art Deco fans ! It's not a massive hotel (unlike the Loew's just a block down the street), but then most of the South Beach / Ocean Drive hotels are acutally pretty small affairs... Other features at this hotel include: - 115 tower rooms and suites - 36 deluxe rooms and suites in the Cabana Wing, along side the pool - The Triplex, exclusive tri-level penthouse suite - Award ...

This hotel was suggested to us by our travel agent for its great location and facilities but we were sceptical as it describes itself as an 'Art Hotel' - made me wonder whether the atmosphere would be stuffy and pretentious. On entering the hotel, art is very much in evidence with a selection of chairs and tables that look more like scuptures (some of which have notices telling you not to sit on them). However the reception staff were very welcoming. The elevator is a sight to behold, being lined with black alligator skin (real or fake) and minimal lighting - very 'Austin Powers'! We were impressed with our room even though there was no sea view, we were given a suite ...
