Occupying the former shells of two Miami Beach Art Deco icons – the Tudor Hotel and Palmer House – Dream South Beach Miami thrives today as a sexy, fashion-inspired boutique lodging that proves style and service don’t have to be mutually exclusive. Dream’s balance of old world glamour and playful energy perfectly capture the essence of all that South Beach is and ever was. The chic, cheeky Naked Taco serves spicy Mexican cuisine with a side of naughty campiness and 125 different tequilas. Up above, HIGHBAR is a sleek, disco-era (in a good way) rooftop lounge with an infinity-edge pool and ocean views. Like Miami itself, Dream is a place where you can get into a little trouble – but only if you want to. And don’t worry, we’ll never tell (because we’ll probably be doing it too).
