South Beach, located in the southwestern section of
Miami Beach, is an eclectic mix of dance clubs, restaurants and bistros,
boutiques and beaches. Renowned for its historic Art Deco district, which
comprises one of the most spectacular redesigns in modern architectural
history, South Beach has a party atmosphere that never shows down, day and
night. Its revival of a by-gone era will transport you back in time.
South Beach takes visitors to the 1920s and 1930s. Art
deco buildings are everywhere, as more than 800 structures were built. Their
lines were typically angular and clean and featured stepped back facades,
strong aerodynamic lines, and geometric patterns. Today, many of South Beach’s
finest hotels have been magnificently restored to their original splendor with
a wide array of colors and neon lights. Original or exact replicas of
chandeliers, sconces, mirrors, bars, and furniture bring that past back to
life. The Art of Deco district is the centerpiece of South Beach.
The setting attracts a mosaic of cultures from all
around the world. Many celebrities make South Beach their home, while many more
models and actors can be seen on photo shoots, film sets, or just relaxing as
visitors.
The area’s eccentric rhythms and miles of beach make
it a great place for people watching, an activity that can be enjoyed as you
visit its many fine restaurants, clubs, shopping options. All are within
walking distance of the beaches and hotels. Beyond South Beach, the greater
Miami area has every convenience and attraction a major city has to offer, from
its international airport to major sports franchises.
South Beach is world-renowned for its nightlife, as
well as for its beaches and weather. The Art Deco district’s renovation has
been one of the major reasons for the rebirth of Miami as a top-notch tourist
destination. Whatever your pace, it’s hard to keep up with the non-stop party
that seems to be happening in one of the country’s most in-vogue neighborhoods.
