The RALEIGH Hotel


My FAVORITE hotel in South Beach is the authentic art-deco resort, RALEIGH. One step into this perfectly preserved 1940 masterpiece is like stepping back into an elegant and relaxing lifestyle.
Walking up to the hotel from Collins Street, the lush trees and cruiser bikes near the front door, set the mood. As we walked towards the pool, we walked by the romantic terrace restaurant canopied under old Sea grape trees. Hanging basket lights and nearby orchids growing on trees gives this area a fun, funky, yet elegant feel. The pool is stunningly beautiful. Large black inner tubes floating on the pool allow guests to sit and capture the sun rays. The tubes match the elegant pool design trim. A raised sunning area with daybeds allows guests to view the Atlantic Ocean.
Raleigh – 1775 Collins Ave. Miami Beach, (305) 534-6300,
