When you think of Miami Beach, buzzy beaches, bars, and nightclubs are often the first things that come to mind. However, it’s also a haven for sun- and relaxation-seekers, so as long as you know where to stay — and that’s where The Palms Hotel & Spa comes into play.
The Look of The Palms Hotel & Spa
The Palms Hotel & Spa boasts one-and-a-half acres of gardens and beautiful flora and fauna — think: parrots, orchids, palms, and tropical plants galore — setting the scene for a relaxing escape, even amidst the bustle of Miami. The lobby also brings the outdoors in with pops of green in the form of even more plants, stunning reception desks, and palm-printed artwork. You’ll also find plenty of blue- and green-hued accents in the form of colorful seating plus patterned carpets and throw pillows. The striking, tree-like light fixture that hangs from the ceiling is equally spectacular.
Also paying homage to their garden surroundings, the rooms and suites are outfitted with brightly patterned throw pillows and seating. The dark wood furnishings, blue and white drapes, beachy artwork, and fresh orchids only add to the stylish — and tranquil — garden aesthetic.
The Vibe at The Palms Hotel & Spa
To sum it up: Relaxed, laid-back, and welcoming.
The Palms Hotel & Spa is family-owned and operated, and guests truly feel like family here. Moreover, the property’s gracious hospitality and top-notch service continue to attract visitors from all over, including plenty of repeat visitors.
Guests can often be found right on-site taking advantage of the hotel’s amenities and gorgeous gardens. The pool area (which is lined with lounge chairs, umbrellas, and swaying palms) is a popular spot for lounging and sipping cocktails. Otherwise, travelers can be found on the beach, at the spa, or in the gardens.
