Fodor's Review:

Most locals have partied everywhere on Miami's hot hotel strip—except for the National Hotel. That's because this luxurious hotel serves as a bastion of calm in the sea of white-on-white mod decor and raucous reveling usually reserved for the beachfront masterpieces lining Collins Avenue between 15th and 20th streets. Unlike its neighbors, the National hasn't parted with its Art Deco past. Most of the chocolate- and ebony-hued pieces in the lobby date back to the 1930s, and the baby grand piano beckons toward a throwback D-Bar Lounge. The most spectacular feature is Miami Beach's longest and most beautiful pool, which stretches from the tower to a duo of tropical tiki bars, a series of comfy black-and-white-striped cabanas and poolside tables, and then the beach. Rooms in the main tower are disappointing and far from the pool; stay in the cabana wing if you can. Pros: stunning pool; perfect location. Cons: tower rooms aren't impressive; neighboring hotels can be noisy on the weekends.
