I will be visiting Miami in November 4 nights
please let me have suggestions re 4/5 Star accomodation, I am not into hip deco hotels nut I do like my luxuries and treats

Probably Lowes would be a good fit for you. Do a search in this message board....tons of posts around SoBe hotels. Have fun!!!!

For five star, book The Setai.

I personally like the Standard. It has a Miami Beach vibe (the room had indoor and outdoor sitting and bath areas! It actually sits on an inlet (not Miami Beach) so its less windy. But it is hip...

Also I have heard good things about Hotel Victor. never been myself though.

I found some other nice hotels at www.tablethotels.com and www.eatsleepgo.com

Forgot, also the Mandarin Oriental.
