Hotel Andaz Miami Beach, by Hyatt (Miami Beach, USA)

Thompson enjoys a premier location overlooking a clean and quiet stretch of Miami Beach. Walk straight out onto the sand from the hotel grounds, or take a quick taxi ride to Downtown Miami or South Beach.

This place has got a real retro feel to it, but that doesn't mean that it is old fashioned at all. The classic art deco exterior makes way for lots of modern conveniences once you're inside.

From the friendly reception staff to the chatty waiters and waitresses, everyone working here makes a big effort so that you enjoy your stay. You really are treated like a valued customer at this hotel.

If you can avoid driving here then don't bring your car. You will be charged for every day that your car is in the car park, so the longer you stay the bigger your bill will be.

If you don't go for one of the expensive seaview suites you might end up being shuffled into a rather small room with a partial seaview. These small rooms are pretty cramped so avoid them if you can.

If you decide to use all the facilities here, like the restaurants, bar and spa, you will have to make sure you bring lots of cash. Meals are expensive and your favourite cocktail will cost much less at a bar just down the road.
