Book NowNational Hotel Review
This luxurious, beautiful 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. Note, however, that rooms in the main tower are disappointing and far from the pool; stay in the cabana wing if you can.
2010 Fodor's 100 Hotel Award Winner
The National Hotel has remained apart from South Beach's raucous pool and party scene, instead remaining true to Art Deco past and a calmer atmosphere of by-gone days. 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, then the beach. It's a stunning pool in a perfect location.

A friend & I are thinking of taking our annual spring break to Sarasoga and Siesta Key.
Can you recommend this or would you recommend somewhere else that might have a tropical island feel?
Thanks Read more
