Recommendations for hotel in Miami that is on the beach?

We're looking for a good to upscale hotel in Miami or South Beach that is directly on the beach (basically where you can walk from the pool right onto the beach). Anyone have good experiences with any specific hotels?


thanks.Recommendations for hotel in Miami that is on the beach?
the new crown jewel of miami beach is the W hotel, second choice would be Delano, i dont like Ritz south beach (not great)Recommendations for hotel in Miami that is on the beach?
Most visitors want to stay on Miami Beach, a city on a barrier island of the same name off the coast of Miami %26amp; connected to it by several causeways. ';South Beach'; is the southernmost 2 miles or so of Miami Beach. It contains the best known beaches, shopping streets, clubs, dozens of hotels of varying size, quality, price %26amp; ambience and the historic ';art deco'; district.





To be in the center of or within walking distance of the center of SoBe you want to stay somewhere below 23d street (address number under 2300) and on or within a block of Washington or Collins Aves., or Ocean drive.





Streets run from 1st on the South all the way to 85th up north. Address numbers follow the streets. Between 1st %26amp; 15th Streets Ocean Drive fronts on the Ocean. Above 15th, Ocean Dr. ends and Collins fronts on the Ocean. Hotels with street addresses ending in an odd number are on the Ocean (east) side of Ocean Dr or (above 15th St) Collins Ave (so you walk out the back onto the beach). Hotels with street addresses ending in an even number are on the west side of Ocean Dr. or Collins Ave. and across the street from the beach. Example: Avalon at 700 Ocean is even numbered %26amp; so across from beach; Delano at 1685 Collins is odd numbered %26amp; is ON the beach.

I would recommend the Lowes or the Ritz South Beach. The Lowes has two buildings, one is older than the other, I would request the new building.





Both are within walking distance to everything, you don't need a car. Both are directly on the beach,South Beach.
there are quite a few sites that you can search that will likely show you great hotels at the best prices available. check out the website BookMe and you will be able to compare prices on all the reputable travel sites in just a couple minutes. it's very convenient and will save you a bunch of time and money. Also, make sure you buy them online... otherwise they charge much higher fees for phone orders. good luck.
