1 Hotel

Top choice in South Beach


One of the top hotels in the USA, the 1 Hotel has 400-plus gorgeous rooms that embrace both luxurious and ecofriendly features – including tree-trunk coffee tables/desks, custom hemp-blend mattresses and salvaged driftwood feature walls, plus in-room water filtration (no need for plastic bottles). The common areas are impressive, with four pools, including an adults-only rooftop infinity pool.

The restaurant serves locally sourced farm-to-table fare (under the helm of award-winning chef Tom Colicchio), and the list of amenities is long, with a lavish spa, a 14,000-sq-ft gym (with many classes), water-sports activities, a kids' club and, of course, direct access to the fine sands of South Beach.
