Reggaeton music, neon cocktails and bikinis everywhere: Miami’s South Beach can feel like the never-ending party of frat boy dreams, something akin to an immersive DJ Khaled music video. And yet there is so much more to the iconic beach strip than just tan lines and tequilas. Let’s raise our salt-rimmed glasses to the glorious 1 Hotel South Beach.
Perfectly located right on the beach, just where South Beach meets the quieter Mid-Beach, 1 Hotel South Beach occupies an entire city block on Collins Avenue. South Beach is an absolute treasure trove of brilliant luxury hotels – this is one of the world’s most coveted vacation spots, after all – and yet relative new kid 1 Hotel South Beach doesn’t just hold its own with the older and flashier, it recalibrates the South Beach experience for the sustainable age of luxury travel.
How? If you know the 1 Hotel brand, you know its dedication to sustainability and nature. This is evident before one even walks into the sun-soaked, elegantly minimalist lobby; guests are greeted by a giant 1 outside, constructed out of 7,500 pounds of Florida coral. The combination of South Beach glitz with genuine care for the local environment is a tricky balance to strike, and 1 Hotel South Beach succeeds with great innovation and sincere enthusiasm. It’s no surprise it’s become the hottest spot in town for the international jet-set scene; like the beach itself, 1 Hotel South Beach has rightfully become a solid presence in everyone’s travel itinerary.

1 Hotel South Beach has 425 guest rooms that range from tastefully decorated double bedrooms to the 1 Oceanfront Presidential Suite. The interior of the rooms are clearly inspired by the white gold sand and clear azure ocean that many of the rooms look out onto; expect lashings of teal and cream, with wooden features that bring the beach aesthetic inside.
All rooms are spacious and well-designed, and 1 Hotel South Beach perfectly utilizes today’s minimalist fashion with floor-to-ceiling windows that spotlight the wonderful beach and city vistas.
Yet the aforementioned Presidential Suite is where the combination of beach chic and 21st-century luxury climaxes. Coming in at 3,500 sq ft, the Presidential Suite features two king rooms, a full kitchen and frankly awe-inspiring views over the Atlantic Ocean. If you can bare it, keep the curtains open throughout the night for a spectacular sunrise.
