"In the most opulent neighborhood of one of the showiest cities in the world, the Biltmore peers down its nose and says, ‘hrmph.’ It’s one of the greatest of the grand hotels of the American Jazz Age, and if this joint were a fictional character from a novel, it’d be, without question, Jay Gatsby. Al Capone had a speakeasy on-site, and the Capone Suite is said to be haunted by the spirit of Fats Walsh, who was murdered here."

"Many locals state that the hotel is haunted but the gardens are not. The place is whimsical and great if you want something else than palm trees. This place belongs to another era and it will stand out on your feed."

"Not only does the Standard offer monthly spa specials on treatments, the hotel schedules retreats and workshops a few times a year, too. If that’s not really your thing, not to worry; there’s a pool on site here with views of Sunset Harbor, a hamam (complimentary to hotel guests), an arctic plunge, mud bath and more. Register for a paddleboarding class or power yoga — the Standard Spa offers a full-blown class schedule for ultimate relaxation."

"The Standard Spa, Miami Beach Photo: Courtesy The Standard Spa/Nathan Sayers. The Standard Spa at the always buzzy The Standard Miami Beach is like Goldilocks—it’s ultra-cool and stylish, but set far enough away from the hectic heart of SoBe to ensure it is still a relaxing oasis. In other words, it’s just right."

"If you’re feeling ambitious on your townie cruiser, you can ride north to Bal Harbour or Haulover beaches; natives know these as water-sports havens—and for Bal Harbour’s luxury shopping. Otherwise, drop off your bike along Ocean Drive and grab a spot on the beach, Lummus Beach, which runs from around 6th to 14th streets. This is a beach for locals and tourists alike, and the spread of humanity—supermodels, families and even topless tanners—make this a go-to spot for people-watching."
