Soho Beach House

Set inside a restored 1940s Art Deco tower on Collins Avenue, Soho Beach House is a members' club that also welcomes nonmember hotel guests into its 49 individually designed bedrooms. Rooms lean into a retro 1950s European aesthetic, filled with antiques, and many feature terraces, soaking tubs, or ocean views.

The heart of the property is its rooftop pool and bar, with waiter service extending to the pool deck and private beach. Guests can dine at Cecconi's, a Northern Italian restaurant open to the public, or head up to Ocho for rooftop cocktails and coffee-bar fare.

The Cowshed spa offers signature treatments, ocean-facing manicure stations, and dual treatment rooms, while a gym with an outdoor training terrace rounds out the wellness offering. Nonmembers should note that photos and phones are restricted in common areas, part of the private-club atmosphere that sets this Mid-Beach retreat apart from typical South Beach hotels.

It's a distinctive pick for guests seeking design-forward glamour with a members-only edge.
