Broken clouds. Warm.

It used to be called "God's Waiting Room" because of the many octogenarians eking out their last moments by the pool. Today the old folks mingle with fashion designers, bikini models, Cuban émigrés and totally smitten holiday-makers.
Greater Miami is a melting pot that would make America's founders swell with pride. Half of Miami's population is Hispanic, creating a city peppered with the flavors of Latin American food, language and music. Here in Miami, the Everglades and the Keys, the weather is warm and humid, and it feels like vacation time all the year round.
Best of Miami: Suggested Itineraries
Miami is party central for nightlife aficionados, and Miami Beach is one of the most fashionable places in the country for clubbing. There are perhaps more bars than street corners here. Pull up a seat and watch the parade!
Want to explore Miami your own way? Pick up a Go Miami Card, crammed with Miami, Everglades, Fort Lauderdale and Orlando tours and attractions. Or ease into things with a Miami City Tour, including a cruise on Biscayne Bay. Splash down into the bay on a Miami Duck Tour or fly over the famous beaches, Art Deco district and downtown on a Grand Miami Air Tour. The view up here is even better as the sun goes down on a Miami Sunset Air Tour - especially when it's a romantic champagne flight.
Miami is all about playing outdoors in the sun. Ride an airboat in the Everglades and come face-to-face with killer whales at the Miami Seaquarium, or mix with the wildlife on Jungle Island. Ride a buggy through wetlands on a Billy Swamp Eco Safari and snorkel the deep blue off Key West. Immerse yourself in the laid-back Caribbean vibe on a Key West Day Tour, with time to explore the famous waterfront and Hemingway's former hangouts. Zip across Biscayne Bay in a speedboat, or slow the pace down on a relaxing bay boat cruise.
Rest up after the exertions of Day Two, then put on your party gear and ease into the evening with a Versace walking tour, retracing the last steps of the famous fashion designer and visiting his favorite hangouts and the old Versace store. Or take to the air at dusk on a Miami Lights Evening Air Tour. Enjoy VIP treatment with dinner and dancing, driven to and fro by your personal driver and guide, then boogie into the early hours on a Miami Dance Cruise. And if one club is 12 too few, skip the lines at 13 nightclubs with the exclusive Miami Party Pass.

A quietly elegant, lovingly restored Art Deco hotel, the Nash enjoys a perfect position in the heart of South Beach, just steps from the water. Behind that gorgeous white Art Deco facade, the Nash's expansive marble lobby leads to plush but simple rooms with tons of shiny blond wood. The outdoor lounge is peaceful and features three small spa pools.
Refresh mind, body and soul at Miami's coolest boutique hotel. Rooms are straight out of a design catalog, the crowd is fun-loving and the locale offers just the right amount of seclusion. With its stunning spa and wellbeing center, the result is a 1950s motel gone completely glam.
South Beach's "art hotel" is an all-suite beauty, a hotel-cum-exhibition space that likes to blur the boundaries between interior decor, art and conventional hotel aesthetics. It's a place to unwind and reflect, filled with compelling and confronting modern art, and rooms come with big flat-screen TVs, porcelain-tiled floors and general Roman emperor levels of pampering.
Best of Miami: Top 3 Bars
Miami's current darling of the bar scene is the oceanfront Setai in South Beach, where the Zen atmosphere is as chilled as the drinks menu. Art Deco glamour and laid-back sophistication beguile the senses, and the cocktails are suitably imaginative.
Pull up a beachfront hammock in South Beach to share cocktails with the beautiful people of Miami under the shimmering palms. You never know who might be sharing your Bedouin-style cushion or cabana, or mixing it up on the club's VIP dance floor.
For the ultimate bar experience in Miami, make it to the Schrager-owned Skybar for a hefty dollop of trendy scene-stealing with your cocktails. The sensual deep-red decor mixes Moroccan-themed glamor inside, tropical exuberance on the garden terrace and sand beneath your feet in the private Sandbar.
