Sleek and exclusive, the beachfront hotel has three temperature-controlled pools, a top-notch Asian restaurant, a Swiss spa and staff who pride themselves on knowing exactly what you want before you even know yourself. Rooms are either in a restored Art Deco building or a gleaming glass tower overlooking the ocean, but all have crisp Frette linens, Acqua di Parma amenities, Nespresso machines and Samsung sound bars.

Bring your conscience on holiday when you check in to 1 Hotel.

Rooms are decked out in reclaimed wood with yoga mats, organic cotton sheets, filtered water taps and HEPA air filters.

Refurbished to the tune of $20 million (£15 million) throughout 2020, the Mondrian remains the place to be when the allure of party-focused South Beach wanes. Close enough to buzzing restaurants and shops but tucked apart overlooking Biscayne Bay, the tirelessly tasteful hotel is an enchanted wonderland of unexpected design flourishes. Think ethereal linen chandeliers and a black spiral staircase in the lobby, trompe l’oeil mirrors, brocade walls and monochrome accents in the suites.
