Price: from USD 200
The Standard is set on a small island just to the West of Miami beach, the hotel's spa and holistic wellbeing philosophy demands a certain amount of tranquility away from the hustle and bustle of South Beach. The hotel's shuttle ferries guests to its sister hotel, the Raleigh. Otherwise to reach the beach it will take five minutes in a taxi while Downtown stands about 10 minutes away.
Hard to find, but worth the taxi ride if it's a young, good looking, crowd with a fraternity feel to it that you are after.
A gay sweat fest on Bay Road near Purdy Lounge. Friday nights are hot, here.
