The Setai Miami Beach has a volunteer Ambassador, Bob Fetty. He lives in one of the hotel’s residences and every morning he posts the real-time view from his balcony (see above). Over the last few years the affable sculptor has amassed a following of over 2.5 million worldwide.

Miami Beach has literally hundred of hotels, some as unique as the book-filled The Betsy, or the decidedly-lavish Casa Casuarina, formerly home of Giovanni Versace. Here are two others that I have really loved in the past month.
