South Beach Information
Welcome To South Beach
Locals call it simply SoBe. Some call it America’s Riviera. To the rest of the world, it’s known as South Beach — one of the hottest, hippest stretches of oceanfront in the world. And it all lies near our South Beach, Miami hotel.
Just minutes from our SoBe, Miami oceanfront hotel is the gorgeous, sandy beach and adjacent Art Deco District that are synonymous with Miami Beach. This is the meeting place of artists, actors, sun-worshippers, club-hoppers, bohemians and supermodels from around the world. And a luxury getaway to Miami at our SoBe hotel puts you right next to it!
Art Deco was a popular architectural trend in the 1920s and 1930s. The detached houses with original designs and pastel colors are typical of the area’s local color. Thanks to the restoration that took place in the 1980s, there are still some 800 buildings preserved, and many of them draw visitors for their distinctive artistic interest. Along Ocean Drive, the famous Art-Deco district promenade, you can sit in one of the numerous cafés or magnificent restaurants and watch the world go by while sipping a cocktail or a coffee.
Behind the glittering façade of all-night clubs, chic eateries and boutique shops, you’ll also find charming residential neighborhoods and scenic parks. The diverse setting of SoBe makes it perhaps one of the best places in the world for a walking tour.
Bordered on the east by Ocean Drive and on the west by Alton Road, the center of the Art Deco District stretches from 5th Street to 7th Street. And it’s here you will find the life of glitz, excitement and glamour the area is famous for.
When you stay in our SoBe, Miami oceanfront hotel, you’ll be just a 20-minute walk from the heart of the District. But if you’re in a hurry to see SoBe, Miami, renting a Riu hotel bicycle will get you there even faster!
