Sweater weather is upon us, and very soon we\u2019ll be layering up to shovel our driveways. That means it\u2019s also time to book a trip to Miami, a city in a tropical climate that continues to be the ultimate magnet for American snowbirds with its sandy beaches, trendy nightclubs, and unrivaled people<\/a>-watching perches. It also boasts arguably the greatest collection of luxury beach hotels in the world.<\/p>\n

There are close to 185 hotels<\/a> in the 15.2 square-mile area that makes up Miami Beach\u2014an astonishing 60 percent of which are located in South Beach, a design mecca with original Art Deco buildings that line Ocean Drive and Collins Avenue\u2014with more coming soon, including ones from the likes of Aman<\/a> and Bulgari<\/a>.<\/p>\n

With so many choices, selecting a hotel seems like a Herculean labor unless you know how to look. \u201cWhen choosing a hotel in Miami, it\u2019s best to determine how you want to feel during the stay,\u201d says Misty Belles, an executive at luxury travel consortium Virtuoso<\/a>. \u201cAre you there as a couple, with kids, or with friends? Do you want to see and be seen or hide away and relax?\u201d Miami has many options for either and many things in between. Just make sure that the property has the services and amenities you\u2019re looking for. \u201cFor instance, if the beach is where you plan to spend your days,\u201d Belles says. \u201ccheck that the hotel has a designated section for guests with food and beverage service.\u201d<\/p>\n

Still unsure? We have you covered. Here are the 18 best beach hotels in Miami.<\/p>\n
