Townhouse Hotel

Situated oceanfront on Collins Avenue in the shadow of The Setai (South Beach’s tallest and most expensive hotel), Townhouse is a humble Art Deco concrete building trimmed in red with two very cool venues hidden inside, a subterranean ramen lounge and a laidback rooftop bar. K. Ramen. Burger. Beer excels in all of its eponymous categories and also serves delightful poke bowls and chicken wings, while The Cape is a surprisingly rare rooftop perch in South Beach with a laidback bungalow atmosphere playing host to live music. 

can't afford the Delano? (don't worry - neither can I) this budget option located 1 block from the beach is a great bet. Stark all white rooms, firm beds, rainfall showers, continental breakfast and young sexy clientele make the Townhouse my Miami Beach pick for a cheap and cheerful stay. The basement sushi bar is one of the better Japanese options in the beach as well.
