beach near Wudritz

My room was amazing. Really big, comfy bed, and a lovely freestanding bath which was such a nice way to relax after a day of shopping. The only negative I’d say is that my room wasn’t ready at nearly 3pm, which is not great. But other than that, great experience.

you will need to get to the pool area early to secure chairs.

After spending decades in and out of Miami Beach — and even having a place here 30 years ago — I can confidently say that the Shelborne is the best hotel in Miami. It’s incredibly clean, modern, and beautifully designed, yet it still preserves the personality and charm that so many hotels have lost. The atmosphere feels exclusive and private while still being warm and welcoming. The service is exceptional. Every member of the staff goes above and beyond to make your stay memorable, effortless, and genuinely special. The facilities are outstanding, and the location is simply unbeatable — truly the best spot in Miami Beach. This hotel understands luxury without feeling pretentious. It feels sophisticated, comfortable, and authentic all at once. Just stay here. You will understand immediately why it stands out above the rest. Special thanks to Elie at the front desk.
