Daily Destination: EAST, Miami in Florida
With its mix of hip venues, high-tech gadgetry, and hot shops, EAST, Miami takes the modern luxury concept in a cool direction. Miami’s famous Brickell neighborhood feeds into the 352-room hotel’s intoxicating energy. At Quinto La Huella, the wood-fired parrilla turns out grass-fed Uruguayan rib eyes paired with locally sourced grilled vegetables. Try taking a dip in the fifth-floor pool, or head over to Sugar, the Zen-like rooftop bar and garden for magnificent city views. While here on the top floor, check out Tea Room, a hidden speakeasy style lounge that will transport you straight to Hong Kong for the evening without ever leaving the building.
Travel Tip: Book a Bay King room with wraparound, east-facing balcony for views of Miami, Biscayne Bay, and the Atlantic Ocean.
