Description City Light on the Atlantic: Miami Beach

Floor-to-ceiling windows frame the Atlantic from the living area, and the balcony – where ocean and Intracoastal Waterway views meet – makes it hard to come inside at all. The main suite opens directly onto it, so mornings begin with open water before anything else. As a private residence within a plush hotel, you get your own lobby, dedicated valet and concierge, and access to four pools, four restaurants, a beach club with daybeds, and a spa. The Miami Beach Boardwalk is just steps away, with Lincoln Road Mall and Sunset Harbour close by.

Home truths:
* At full occupancy, three guests will sleep on pull-out trundle beds – one in the second bedroom and two in the third bedroom.
* You'll have access to the on-site swimming pools, restaurants, bars, fitness centre, spa, and beach club here. They're shared with the building's other residents.
