I recently came back from Miami and got a bunch of messages asking where I went and where I recommend staying. You guys know I love traveling and Miami is a place I’ve gone to often so here is a list of my favorite places to eat, party, and stay.

STAY
Miami has all the luxury hotels and hot spots and this is just based on where I’ve stayed. There are a TON of hotels but I wanted to just list a few that are consistently top-notch.
This is the Four Seasons Miami above.
Luxury:
1 Hotel South Beach – largest rooms, great service, and an amazing rooftop pool. I stayed here last year and absolutely loved it, but it is pricey.
The Setai – on my wishlist – I’ve gone here for drinks and lunch. Luxury and a great scene.
Four Seasons at the Surf Club – is another one on my wishlist. Looks so relaxing and amazing.
Affordable:
Casa Faena – I love the lobby living room and decor – I found some great rates for this hotel and it has a great location. A boutique feeling hotel with beautiful interior design.
Shelborne – I stayed here the last trip and the pool area was my favorite. A large pool, plenty of private cabanas, and the location are terrific.
Four Seasons Miami (in Brickell) – I’ve stayed here before and it was a great stay. Large pool, loved the restaurant and in room dining, and great location. This one is less expensive than the Surfside one.
DINE
Restaurants:
Casa Tua – with locations in Paris, Aspen, and Miami, you know this is a restaurant to be when the other locations are sexy as well. We ate here and the service was impeccable. Delicious food in a beautiful setting.
Carbone Miami – sexy Italian restaurant, a celebrity hotspot.
Swan – This place is pretty inside and out. I went for lunch and loved the overall vibe. Good food and very instagrammable.
Mandolin Aegean Bistro – I’ve been here twice and love it. Outdoor eatery with Greek food that is romantic, yummy, and a great scene.
Sexy Fish – just opened and it is the hottest spot right now! The interiors are so sexy and so is the scene! Must make a reservation or grab a drink at the bar. There are mini-shows, an epic bathroom, and it’s an Instagram nighttime dream.
Dior Café – more of an Instagrammable place but still a fun visit with my girlfriends. It is on the top floor of the Dior store. I thought it was a fun visit and yes, we took some photo opps.
Versace Mansion, Gianni’s restaurant – I came here for drinks and the Versace vibe is all around. I haven’t had the food but I’m headed back in April for a friend’s birthday so I’ll be dining with a big group there.
Prime 112 – Great scene, steak, and has been a hotspot in South Beach for a while!
NIGHTLIFE
I haven’t been to a ton of nightclubs but this is a great article of the best clubs in Miami by Time Out. I went to E11even and it was unlike anything I’ve experienced. A definite must-do if you love clubs, pretty women, and shows. Just be aware of lines and most likely you’ll need a table.
There’s my list for Miami and I’ll add to it as I keep traveling!
