"Dining here is like closing your eyes and suddenly finding yourself in Paris. Located in the prestigious Biltmore Hotel, this stylish restaurant features the skills of Michelin star-nominated chef Gregory Pugin and James Beard, both of them continually striving to create dishes that will make you feel as if you were on the Champs Elysées. Their traditional recipes are in line with contemporary trends and are scrupulously crafted using the freshest local ingredients."

"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."

"Featuring a full-service spa, this adult-only Miami Beach hotel also boasts rooms with a view of the garden, Intracoastal Waterway, or outdoor pool. Guests will be 12 minutes' walk to Lincoln Road Mall and 5 minutes' drive to South Beach. Free WiFi and a flat-screen cable TV are featured in all rooms."

"While its spa is under renovation through spring 2021, the hotel rooms at the Standard Spa, Miami Beach, are still very much a place to get your staycation on. Spa lovers can book a treatment in the hotel’s temporary spa suites and mud lounge. Beyond the spa, the Standard’s rooms are a relaxing hit."

"Fresh off receiving a Five-Star award from Forbes for a seventh consecutive year (which is crazy!), the Mandarin Oriental continues its reign as one of the most luxuruious spas in Miami, with treatments inspired by ancient Chinese, Balinese and Thai cultures. Mandarin Oriental just released a new spa and wellness program, Inspiring Rituals. Each month focuses on a different theme, like strength or beauty, and includes two hours of related spa treatments, an inspirational cookie, a spa gift, and at home spa tips."

"The Spa at the Mandarin Oriental, Miami Photo: Courtesy Mandarin Oriental, George Apostolidis. The Spa at the Mandarin Oriental, Miami strikes that hard-to-find balance of having something for everyone while avoiding a cookie-cutter, one-size-fits-all experience. So even if you choose a signature body treatment like the Oriental Essence or Therapeutic Massage—both of which blend Chinese, European, Balinese, and Thai techniques—the results will be highly personalized."

"When it comes to finding a hotel in Miami, there is no shortage of options available. Whether you want to reminisce in Miami’s art deco beginnings in a vintage-styled hotel, or want to indulge in modern luxury, there is a hotel for you within any budget. This makes finding a hotel in Miami somewhat of a challenge when the options are pretty endless."

"When it comes to fast horse racing or fast games, Miami offers a few hot spots: Gulfstream Park, Hialeah Park Racing & Casino, Miccosukee Resort & Gaming and Magic City Casino. At Gulfstream Park and The Village at Gulfstream Park, thoroughbred horse racing, fine shopping and nightlife come together. You may see the next Kentucky Derby winner racing here. At historic Hialeah Park Racing & Casino, see the famous pink flamingos, catch a horse race or check out their state-of-the-art casino."

"Here the long-storied legacy of the nation’s indigenous peoples has culminated in…slots. Lots of slots, and comatose gamblers pouring quarters into them. Still the Miccosukee and Seminole are cashing in on this..."

"Escencia Spa Relaxation Room Courtesy of Escencia Spa. Inspired by nature and the ocean views, the Esencia Wellness Spa at Nobu Hotel Miami Beach takes a holistic approach to healing the body from the hot Miami sun—and the city’s party scene—by targeting anti-aging, after-sun care, and dry skin. Facilities at the 22,000-square-foot spa include a hydrotherapy circuit with whirlpools, plunge pools, saunas, and hydro-experience showers, as well as a relaxation lounge with sweeping ocean views."

"JugoFresh epitomizes Miami’s health-food craze that begun circa 2013. Fun fact, I actually worked at JugoFresh for almost a year, and I’m not one to brag, but I could make a bomb acai bowl. But, JugoFresh doesn’t just offer bowls, they have an array of incredible cold-pressed juices, wellness shots (I’d be dead by now if it weren’t for their Saca Lo shot), and vegan/gluten-free snacks and meals offered."

"For an erudite check-in, head to Books & Books, which hosts signings and talks from authors throughout the year. Whatever food you’re craving, you’ll find it here at Lincoln Road: Mexican, Italian, Japanese and Latin-inspired anything. Diners flock to the outdoor dining at Nexxt Cafe, which has been serving American-fusion fare since 1999; the menu is enormous. To slip away from the throngs of Lincoln Road for a more intimate, upscale experience, reserve a table at Italian favorite Casa Tua; it’s located nearby on a quiet side street."

"James Beard Foundation Award-winner Michael Schwartz is one of Miami’s most-coveted chefs. Whatever he touches turns delicious, including pizza at Harry’s Pizzeria, farm-to-table gastropub fare on a cruise ship, sushi, breakfast food and plenty of other concepts, including his beloved namesake, Michael’s Genuine. Set within the SLS Brickell, Schwartz’s Fi’lia specializes in vivacious Italian, including pies, house-made pastas, comforting mains (think: chicken parm and wood-grilled leg of lamb) as well as a tableside Caesar for which servers grill fresh bread for croutons."

"Many tourists mark this restaurant as the best Italian restaurant in Miami, and for good reason. Fi’lia invites its visitors to taste authentic Italian pizza from a wood-fired oven or pamper themselves with stracciatella with truffle honey. You will plunge into a pleasant and relaxed atmosphere, and the friendly staff will help you choose a dish based on your preferences."

"Italians are known for their stellar wood-fired pizzas, and Fi’lia is no exception. Starters like the stracciatella with truffle honey or the meatballs with whipped ricotta are great to open the appetite. Pies like spicy soppressatta or cauliflower and fontina cheese are hits, or opt for spaghetti carbonara or the wood-grilled sirloin skirt steak."

"My favorite croissants in all South Florida are made at La Crepe Bistro in South Miami. This unassuming French restaurant makes delicious baked goods, tartines, and crepes. La Crepe Bistro is located at 7340 SW 57th Ave, South Miami, FL. For more information visit their website."

"With panoramic views of South Beach, this swanky penthouse retreat is totally photo-worthy, but it’s more than a pretty post. The menu features a mix of French, Peruvian and Japanese cooking, and whether you’re having the truffle ceviche or crispy prosciutto-topped burrata, you’re in for a memorable meal."

"The swankiest rooftop terrace in all of Miami and the coldest pinot grigio in town. Insider tip: Arrive 30 minutes before sunset, order a few appetizers and get ready for a magical evening. 1111 Lincoln Rd., Miami Beach; 305-763-8272 orjuviamiami.com"

"Known for the spirit, freshness, and French flare they put into every dish, L'Edito French Restaurant is the place to go for a full-on French meal. Start your night with a glass of wine then move onto an appetizer. Favorites include the French onion soup, escargot in flaky puff pastry, and pan-seared foie gras."
