After a quick registration in the intimate lobby—accented with palms and a terrazzo checkerboard floor—I was escorted to an adjacent building housing the Roof Suite Terrace. Minimalist furnishings and a soothing tan-and-white palette, echoing the sandy shore opposite, make this an ideal escape from the bustling street scene below, while the brilliant light pouring in from the windows reminds guests that they are nowhere else but South Florida. Luxurious touches such as high-thread-count linens, a rainfall shower, cozy reading nook and toiletries from Malin + Goetz Botanicals add to the room’s comfort. Outside, though, is where the real delight lies. Through a door and up a spiral staircase is a private terrace on the fifth floor, complete with alfresco seating and a Jacuzzi that accommodates four people.
