There are three luxurious hotels in Miami worth seeing: Delano, National and Ritz Carlton, all located next to each other in Collins Avenue at 16th Street.

If you cannot afford to stay in one of these hotels (like me), you have to try at least to get in and enjoy the day there. They are all the three very nice, which I have experienced by myself…

The Delano is the IN meetingpoint with a beautiful pool and an amazing lobby. The National owns the most magnificent pool in whole South Beach with a lenghth of 70 m and also a nice pool bar. The Ritz has a wonderful beach bar and a restaurant offering a wonderful view over the ocean.

Sometimes you can even encounter stars just having a drink at the bar or lying at the pool, just as I saw Lindsay Lohan (a wellknown US actress) in the Delano Hotel last August.

As to the facts of this magnificent city: Miami, located in Florida, has more than 480 000 inhabitants. The word ‘Miami’ comes from the Indian word ‘Mayaimi’ meaning ‘big water’. In fact, the big Miami River provides the water to the Everglades, which then flows in the Atlantic Ocean.
