The Sanctuary Hotel of South Beach

Set a bit off the beaten path is this modern, all-suite resident hotel (meaning people can actually rent or buy rooms and live here) that takes luxury very seriously, even if it does resemble a souped-up motel, with its ground-floor rooms only accessible from a communal outdoor courtyard area. Flying into town? Let the Sanctuary's Range Rover pick you up at the airport. Soothingly modern, all rooms have full state-of-the-art Italian kitchens, flat plasma-screen televisions, and Wi-Fi. In addition, bathrooms come with Jacuzzi tubs, and in-room fridges are stocked with everything you specify before checking into the hotel. A roof-deck "bedroom" allows you to relax in the sun or slink around in the wading pool. Star chef Douglas Rodriguez's Ola, a fashionable Latin eatery and hot spot, is situated smack in the middle of the very posh, albeit tiny, lobby.
