"Sceney it's not, but scenic? Absolutely. With its towering ceilings, sultry furnishings, and massive gilded mirrors, the elegant 1940s-style National is a Deco darling."

"The most spectacular feature is Miami Beach's longest pool, which stretches from the tower, past a series of comfy black-and-white-striped cabanas and poolside tables, to a duo of tropical tiki bars."

This is a great choice for commercial travelers, but high-end folk best choose their accommodations carefully: Cabana rooms and suites.
BlackBook
"Art Deco history meets modern amenities. Choose from historic tower or poolside cabana accommodation."
Not For Tourists
"Beautiful art deco hotel with absolutely no nightlife whatsoever."
Condé Nast Traveler
"Its beachfront location, two pools (one of them 203-feet long), and playfully decorated rooms in the main tower and 36 cabana suites, attract a young, stylish mix of guests."

"The stunning 312-room W South Beach... blends cute comforts, intricate design (that spares no expense), and flawless service."

"Miami's first W property is a major departure for the brand: all 408 spacious residences have a French bohemian aesthetic, and are done in various shades of white and gray."

"It is part conference center, part nightclub, with everything but the gym and accommodations contributing to its dichotomous existence. "

"Built on a colorful stretch of South Beach, this contemporary hotel has much to offer."
BlackBook
"W brings successful brand of mega-boutiquery to South Beach, replacing usual chrome and dark finishes with de rigueur Miami blinding whites and big beachy views."
