Hotel Inter-Continental Miami

This hotel presents a serious catch-22: It's got a front-row view of all of Miami Beach, Biscayne Bay, the Miami River, and the Atlantic Ocean, but it is also located in downtown Miami. If it's a view that you want, stay here; but if it's location you want, reconsider. With the decidedly threatening presence of the brand-new EPIC around the corner and the hyperluxurious Mandarin Oriental and Viceroy just over the Brickell Bridge, the Inter-Continental had no choice but to keep up with the competition. A $34-million renovation brought it up to speed with the rest, but it's still a bit old fashioned. It boasts more marble than the Liberace Museum, but it is warmed by bold colors and a fancified Florida flavor. Rooms are a tad nicer than those in a typical chain hotel, with marble bathrooms and sit-in windowsills. Ten treatment rooms and a Vichy shower are among the amenities at the excellent mySPA. Note: Construction on several new condominiums/hotels adjacent to the Inter-Continental may disturb the deafening silence common to downtown Miami.
