MARRIOTT STANTON SOUTH BEACH T hose who venture to south beach usually do so in order to experience the overwhelmingly vibrant vibe that this strip of sand, ocean and beautiful hotels has to offer. Staying at the Stanton is raising the bar and turning a great stay into an experience that you’ll want to repeat. One of only a few hotels on Ocean Drive with direct beach access, the Stanton is located in

the exclusive “South of Fifth” district. If location is the mantra of hotels and real estate, then this gem wins a prize. Its appearance conveys the look and feel of one of the original Art Deco hotels, with upscale retro design. As one of the few pet-friendly hotels in South Beach, my energetic Brittany was able to play (and hunt a few Iguanas) in the adjacent park and then return to the Stanton for a refreshing “Puppaccino” at the on-site Starbucks. All of the rooms carry through the fresh modern look of the common areas with a hip retro twist. Activities never stop or slow down from the time you arrive to the unfortunate moment of check out, and every waking minute in between. The two heated pools just off the oceanfront provide unobstructed views of silky white sand and the turquoise sea. Sunbathe in comfortable lounge chairs or day beds accented with lush landscaping. The Stanton Spa provides a full range of services that will relax and recharge your mind and body. But if you still have some energy to burn off, head over to the Fitness Center, where one-on-one training sessions as well as yoga and boxing classes are available. While the party never stops in South Beach, it’s the nightlife that truly defines it… and the Stanton’s location is where it all begins. Before heading out, you may want to get the party started at Lolo’s Surf Cantina, or Azabu, an authentic Japanese Robata restaurant, both located in the hotel. No need to Uber from or to the Stanton. You are already in the hottest and most exclusive area of South Beach. 161 Ocean Drive, Miami Beach marriott.com/hotels/travel/miamb-marriott-stanton-south-beach
