The Miami Beach Edition Hotel

Miami Beach Edition HotelI love Miami!  There I said it, but I really do. There is something magical about the air in Miami, and that’s especially the case on South Beach.  So when I checked in to the plush and uber stylish Miami  Beach Edition Hotel on South Beach my excitement of staying there suddenly dialed up to 110%.

It was just lush!Miami Beach Edition Hotel receptionMiami Beach Edition Hotel pianoAfter checking in, I immediately donned my swimming trunks, picked up my goggles and  went through the hotel to check out the pools. The hotel has two main pools which are surrounded by the beautiful people of Miami enjoying food and cocktails. Through the pool area, you can walk on to South Beach where there is a private section for residents of The Edition.Miami Beach Edition Hotel pool

Here the bar staff serve an incredible array of cocktails with the smoked Pineapple Mojito a must try. After drinks make sure and eat as well.  The resident Chef Jean-Georges Vongerichten has a very distinctive modern interpretation of Latin cuisine in the restaurant. Influenced by Spanish, Caribbean and South American flavors, the seasonal, locally sourced menu encourages sharing with both small and large plates.Miami Beach Edition Hotel callum wattMiami Beach Edition Hotel callum wattmatador room pineapplesMiami Beach Edition Hotel poolflorida-black-grouper-tacosmatador room foodmatador roomAvocado and Jalapeno Pizzamatador room steakMiami Beach Edition Hotel bowlingAfter an excessive night of beautiful food, cocktails and a surprising 10 pin bowling game in the basement bar I hit my bed.  On awakening and ordering room service I was presented with a delightful spread of tasty food and fresh juices.  This I enjoyed whilst overlooking the pool and pondering if I should just extend the holiday. Miami Beach Edition Hotel bedroomMiami Beach Edition Hotel breakfastMiami Beach Edition Hotel pool viewAlas all good things have to come to an end, so after checking out I jumped into my ride and drove back to the airport to fly myself back to reality.  So if you are looking for THE South Beach Hotel in Miami I can highly recommend The Edition.Miami Beach Edition Hotel car
