After the sheer craziness of Las Vegas, we were so very excited to hit the beach in Miami! This excitement was made even greater by the fact that we'd booked to stay at The Standard.
The Standard Miami is part of the small The Standard hotel chain and is their very first spa hotel. It's beautiful. BEAUTIFUL! I'm seriously not sure how I'll ever be able to stay in another hotel again. Which could be a slight problem...
I'm going to be totally honest, our room itself was a bit more basic and a little less cosy than I was hoping, but, as we'd read in advance, this isn't a hotel to go to if you want to spend all day in your room - the rest of the grounds are waaay too perfect for that!
We did plenty of research before we booked our Miami hotel and The Standard fit the bill on so many fronts. We wanted to be close to South Beach, but didn't want to pay a premium for that or be surrounded by constant noise; after the scale of the Bellagio, we fancied somewhere a little smaller and more intimate; we wanted a pool and we wanted a touch of Miami glamour. Not to much to ask, surely!?
The Standard is located just outside South Beach, but only a 5 minute walk from Lincoln Road and about a 15 minute walk from the beach. From the moment we arrived we felt relaxed and looked after, with the friendly front desk staff happy to advise on restaurants, walking routes and things to do. On holiday, we often find it very difficult to just sit by the pool and do nothing, but we were able to explore Miami and still enjoy plenty of time unwinding, which probably perfectly sums up The Standard's ethos. The hammam spa was also beautiful, but the weather was just too darn good to spend too much time inside. We never did make the early morning yoga classes though...
Even if we hadn't loved Miami (we did), we'd have loved The Standard and it's now high on our list of places to return to. We've even wondered if we can tag a few nights in Miami on to any other US-based trip we might take. Totally do-able...!
