The Palms Hotel & Spa

South Beach chic meets Southern charm at The Palms Hotel & Spa, where a recent $20 million renovation reinvented the charming art deco property as a green boutique on Miami Beach. This AAA four-diamond resort features 251 contemporary guest rooms and suites with charcoal and turquoise decor, spa-inspired baths with rain shower and aqua mosaic tiles, Internet access, and floor-to-ceiling views of the Atlantic or tropical gardens. Amenities include a fitness center, beachside pool, tapas bar, and Aveda Ayurvedic Spa.

Indoors or out, The Palms Hotel & Spa offers something for every meeting planner, with nine conference rooms, outdoor gardens, covered terrace, pool deck, and two ballrooms for business meetings and corporate events to 350. Groups enjoy Collins Avenue shopping and the lively South Beach dining and entertainment scene.
