The Elser Hotel

★★—The beauty of having a glut of brand-new empty condos for so long in a once-sleepy downtown area is, well, The Elser, a 49-story luxury hotel tower in Downtown Miami featuring 646 residential-style rooms, including studios, one-bedrooms, and spectacular two-and three-bedroom suites, all with gorgeous floor-to-ceiling windows, unobstructed bay views, walkout balconies, luxurious bathrooms for every bedroom, fully equipped kitchens, and washers and dryers in every unit. This luxe condo-turned-hotel has some swell amenities, including a 19,000-square-foot rooftop pool deck with 132-foot pool framed by a massive, 16-foot poolside LED screen. The rooftop also has private lounge areas and a full bar, a massive hot tub, and an impressive two-level gym. If you’re looking for a sceney spot, this isn’t it, but if you want to feel like you’re living in Miami in style for a few days, The Elser is a fantastic choice with excellent service.
