Prime Hotel Impala

Now owned by an Italian hotel company with properties in Rome and Milan, this charming Mediterranean hideaway is one of the area's best kept secrets, and it's just beautiful, from the Greco-Roman frescoes and friezes to an intimate garden that is perfumed with the scent of hanging lilies and gardenias. Rooms have supercushy sleigh beds, sisal rug floors, wrought-iron fixtures, imported Belgian cotton linens, wood furniture, and fabulous-looking, but also incredibly small, bathrooms done up in stainless steel and coral rock. The two smallest rooms here are nos. 102 and 206; otherwise, the rooms are pretty spacious and cushy. Adjacent to the hotel is Spiga, an intimate, excellent Italian restaurant that is reasonably priced. Enclaves like this one are rare on South Beach. Rates include complimentary continental breakfast and access to Nikki Beach Club.
