This stylish budget boutique hotel pays attention to every detail and gets them all right. In its lobby, inspired in miniature by the Delano hotel, tall candles burn all night. The pool has cabanas and umbrella-shaded chaises that invite all-day lounging. Beyond the pool is a cute bar with board games. Rooms have wood floors and a cool, crisp look with white furnishings dotted with pale-blue pillows. The name Circa 39? It was built in 1939 and is on 39th Street. Pros: affordable; chic; intimate; beach chairs provided. Cons: not on the beachside of Collins Ave.; no Wi-Fi in rooms.
