The Ritz-Carlton Coconut Grove, Miami

Decorated in the likeness of an Italian villa, the hotel’s understated luxury is a welcome addition to an area known for its gaudiness. Rooms sport your usual Ritz-Carlton warm weather location décor—sand, blue, white hues along with marble bathrooms and pillowtop mattresses featherbeds and duvets. The smallest of Miami’s Ritz-Carlton hotels is surrounded by 2 acres of tropical gardens and overlooking Biscayne Bay and the Miami skyline. That said, this is more of a business hotel than a vacation property. In addition to the usual Ritz-Carlton standard of service and comfort, the hotel has a tranquil spa, a beautiful garden restaurant, and an old school hotel bar, Commodore’s featuring live entertainment and stiff drinks (and, at times, patrons).
