Seeking South Beach

Seeking South Beach
With its hot climate and even hotter club nights, we had no problem getting friendly with Miami Beach.
stay
Clad in red, white and baby blue, a stylish suite at the Townhouse Hotel
puts you steps from South Beach at a sweet price. Its cool touches like
mini beach balls on the beds, bicycle rentals and a spacious rooftop
terrace for daytime sunning and nighttime revelry make it a hot home
base. From $95 a night, Townhouse Hotel, 150 20th St., Miami Beach,
305-534-3800, www.townhousehotel.com
eat
Once you're done lounging up top, simply head downstairs to the BondSt Lounge.
The Miami outpost of the lauded Manhattan resto by the same name serves
up sushi and sashimi, like lobster tempura with yellow tomato dressing
and chive oil, to satisfy your sea cravings. BondSt, 150 20th St.,
Miami Beach, 305-398-1806, www.townhousehotel.com/bond.
shop
With an abundance of design stores, we'd advise bringing back something to adorn your own townhouse. At Jonathan Adler,
one of our faves, score whimsical white pottery, or a witty pink piece
from his new Barbie-inspired collection. Jonathan Adler, 1024 Lincoln
Road Mall, Miami Beach, 305-534-5600, www.jonathanadler.com
do
Jump headfirst into the city's opulent, glamorous nightlife at The Florida Room.
The modern-day piano lounge designed by Lenny Kravitz, which boasts a
Lucite Grand (a replica of the one Lenny has at home) and a roster of
international DJs, kept us dancing till the wee hours of the morn (4
a.m. to be exact). The Florida Room at the Delano Hotel, 1685 Collins
Ave., Miami Beach, 305-674-6152, www.delano-hotel.com
