I put this in the "other" section but it didn't get much love. Any suggestions on "boutique" hotels on Ocean to stay at, like, dislike etc...? I'm heading down in Late Oct and looking for someplace to stay, possibly at the lower end or above 11th or so. I don't want to be on top of everything and typically we stay at the Raleigh, Delano or Loews but want to try something different. Thanks!

oh yeah the victor just opened and looks NICE

Stay at the Wave (5th & Ocean) or the Park Central (7th & Ocean) Both have very nice rooms, and I can say that the Park Central has the most comfortable beds.

The "Bentley" at 510 ocean is very nice. Roof top pool is cool.

"The Hotel of South Beach", Not on Ocean but still a funky place none the less.

so far so good - thanks for the suggestions (so far) - I was considering Park Central already, so I may have to look into that a bit further.

DoTheMath,

I agree. It's where we stay when we take a weekend. On the south side of the property is a small building that has one bedroom 'suites' that are kinda cool. Ask for one ocean side and you get a nice view of the freaks walking right outside your window.

If you are going there to party, there is only one place to stay....The Clevelander!!

Greaaaaaaaat! That's what I need, I nice weekend in SoBe with the freaks pressing their face against my window! Maybe I'll try for an ocean front room, but up high?

Nah - I save that for the show in Feb. & it takes me all year to bounce back. This is purely for R&R, and a tiny bit of business.
