It was a good choice to stay along Ocean Drive in South Beach. What’s not to like about SoBe? It is reputed to be one of the hippest neighborhoods in the US. There’s the breeze coming in from the ocean, coconut trees swaying in the wind, delicious food in the sidewalk cafes, plus the ultra-iconic art deco architecture in this district.

The Art Deco District of Miami beach has the largest concentration of 1920s and 1930s resort architecture in the US. They exude a sense of carefree retro-esque fun with their candy-colors, neon lights and smooth geometric and floral lines and motifs. You can’t come to SoBe without appreciating the unique atmosphere!
