 | Tides South Beach: The Diva of Ocean Drive - The Tides

We had the great fortune to stay for 3 nights at The Tides Hotel, in South Beach. The Tides is the 'Diva' of Ocean Drive. It is an extremely stylish Art Deco hotel, 12 stories high, across the road from the beach.
On the front steps of the hotel there is a bar and restaurant, which is a fabulous place from which to watch the beautiful people parade. The lobby of the hotel is understated class and the staff are extremely friendly and helpful. I had several email conversations with Edgar, the concierge, prior to our stay, asking about local restaurants and organising car hire, and he was very efficient.
The hotel has a smallish pool at the back, which also has a bar. The lobby restaurant & bar is a popular place for guests and visitors alike, and it extends to the front of the hotel.
Our room was fabulous. It looked over Ocean Drive and the beach. It had a huge bed and a giant plasma television mounted on the wall. The bathroom was spacious and there was a dressing room area as well. It was bright and airy.
It is not a cheap accommodation choice...our room cost around 675USD plus tax, but it was a fabulous experience....and seeing as I won the trip, the hotel didn't cost us a thing!!

The tides is locate across from Lummus Park on Ocean, yet near the far end so it doesn't have all of the street noise as the ones on the lower end of Ocean tend to have. This place has had an extensive facelift completed since I first stepped in here years ago; the bar and restaurant look fabulous and are both very inviting. The rooms here are some of the most spacious in South Beach, though I can say the room furniture lacks the elegance you would expect (flimsy tables).
Great location, awesome ocean views, and a very chic bar and restaurant make this a very nice place to stay. Also, if you happen to have a great deal of money to waste, I heard about a very interesting package the tides has to offer- for $400,000 USD (as of summer 2006), you can reserve the ENTIRE hotel for a 5 night stay, with dinner for up to 90 people at the nearby Versace mansion, as well as limos on call 24-7 and $1000 room credit for each of your guests....
