Metropole Suites South Beach

The Art Deco Metropole building on Collins Avenue anchors this four-star property within South Beach's historic district, half a block from Ocean Drive and the sand beyond it. Ground-floor terrazzo and porthole windows survive from the 1930s construction, now framing a lobby bar that draws as many locals as guests.

Rooms above split between Collins-facing (street noise, better light) and courtyard-facing (quieter, smaller windows). Lincoln Road's shops and restaurants sit a ten-minute walk north, making this a practical base for travellers who want beach access without paying Ocean Drive front-row rates.
