Frommer's Highly Recommended

The former president has nothing to do with this chic boutique hotel, but once he gets a gander of the model types who hang here, he may want to endorse it as his own. The Clinton Hotel is one of South Beach's newest renovated standouts, a formerly decrepit building that has benefited from a $12 million renovation that brings a space-age meets South Beach vibe to the area thanks to funky furniture, a requisite hipster lobby bar, the pricey designer boutique Ona Saez, and a restaurant that has changed hands several times. Although boutique hotels are becoming as dime a dozen as, say, Holiday Inns, this one manages to stand out from the rest thanks to its inner sanctum of serenity that includes a sleek (but tiny) pool, private sunning deck, and rooftop spa.
