Limestone & Lincoln

Perched above Miami Beach with city views stretching to the horizon, this penthouse apartment delivers the kind of outlook that makes an evening in feel like an occasion. The outdoor terrace – over 400 sq ft of it – is where you'll want to be at sunset, whether you're eating alfresco or simply watching the lights come on across the skyline. Inside, limestone bathrooms with soaking tubs bring a hotel-grade calm to the mornings. And with access to 1 Hotel's rooftop pool, restaurant, gym, and sauna, Lummus Park a fifteen-minute stroll away, and Lincoln Road Mall around nineteen-minutes on foot, the neighbourhood rewards exploration too.

Home truths:
* The terrace looks out over the city and Collins Avenue rather than the beach – a view many guests have preferred, though worth knowing if you were hoping to wake up to the ocean. Collins Avenue can be lively, and some street noise – traffic and horns – does carry up to the terrace and living area, even with the doors closed.
* Two guests have flagged the air conditioning in the living room – it's worth raising with your host before arrival if you're visiting during the warmer months so any issues can be sorted ahead of time.
* You'll have access to the on-site pools, restaurants, bars, gym, and more. They're shared with the building's other residents.
