Miami Beach is home to yet another bunch of hip new hotels this season: The W South Beach (from $609; 305-938-3000 or whotels.com), where Warhols hang in the lobby, has ocean views and a sexy pool deck called Wet. The Gansevoort South (from $325; 305-604-1000 or gansevoortsouth.com) also has views, designer pools, and stylish rooms, plus a David Barton gym and spa. The plantation-chic Betsy (from $340; 305-531-6100 or thebetsyhotel.com) is relatively small and quiet, but its Ocean Drive location means you’re never far from the nightly bacchanal.
