Cardozo Hotel

Twenty-eight rooms occupy this Art Deco landmark at 1300 Ocean Drive, on Miami Beach's South Beach strip directly across from the sand — a four-star base for travelers who want the Ocean Drive scene without a resort's distance from it.

Rooms keep terrazzo floors and period porthole windows original to the building's 1939 construction, a detail most listings skip. Lummus Park and its volleyball courts sit steps from the entrance.

Española Way's restaurants and the Lincoln Road pedestrian mall are both under a ten-minute walk north.
