Sometimes we need to get away to a place where stunning design mingles with gracious hospitality; where lobby ceilings soar to heights of 26 feet, beds swathed in soft linens look out over an oceanfront city, and Florida sunshine reflects off towering steel skyscrapers into sparkling glass infinity pools. When I lived in the U.S., and those Northeast winters went a little too far, Miami was my dream place. Next time I’ve got the cold weather blues I’ll be picturing myself on one of the poolside lounges on the brand new EPIC Hotel‘s 16th-floor, open-air deck.
