Don’t you just love the idea of a hotel “bucket list”? -- Not the dying part, of course, just the experiential part. This was a recent article in Conde Nast’s concierge.com “World Beat” website. None of the hotels listed were in Florida, however, so I was thinking that one of our creative travel writers out there should develop a South Florida list. How about it guys? Any ideas?
There’s still time to participate in the Conde Nast “Win a $25,000 Dream Trip” promotion which ends on July 31st. Enter the promotion at: www.cntraveler.com/dreamtrip, then follow the rules and directions for the sweepstakes or even enter your winning photograph. Upload a photo from a trip and tell them what made it a great travel moment and you could win the trip to anywhere in the world. See the site for all details/requirements. Wouldn’t it be great if a South Florida picture was featured?
The following South Florida hotels were mentioned in the Conde Nast Traveler “Hot List Hotels 2009” North America list: The Regent (Bal Harbor), Viceroy (Miami), The Fontainebleau (Miami Beach) and the Mondrian (Miami Beach).
In a recent Fodor’s “Travel News” newsletter, was an article on the “Top Six Experiences in Florida’s Everglades”. The writer outlined the best ways to spend time in this “one of a kind” place. Categories included: Hiking, Walking, Boating, Bird watching, Biking, and Snorkeling.
And most recently, Fodor’s newsletter outlined “Miami’s 5 Best Beaches” for sun and fun. Found it interesting that one of the beaches listed was the Hollywood Beach! The other four beach locations were: Lummus Park, Matheson Hammock, Haulover, and the Cape Florida State Park. Parking tips for South Beach and pros and cons of each selection were also mentioned.
