A mid-century Miami Beach classic, Eden Roc combines vintage glamour and updated amenities. Among the latter, most of the tropical-look guest rooms view the Atlantic from balconies, and the up-to-the-minute Spa of Eden offers poolside massages, Latin Groove aerobics classes, a climbing wall, and squash courts. The oceanfront bar is a boardwalk hotspot, but don’t miss drinks in the lobby lounge, faithfully outfitted with 1950s-inspired furnishings to recall the heyday of stays by Elizabeth Taylor and Ann Margret.
