Who says summer ever has to end? As the seasonal holidays are slowly but surely creeping upon us, not everyone is ready to unpack their bulky, winter wardrobe and give up their glowing, sun-kissed tan. Cue the redesigned and reimagined Marriott Stanton South Beach: “Not your Mama’s Marriott.
Situated on a pristine stretch of sand on the very tip of South Beach, Marriott Stanton South Beach provides everything that you need to experience an endless summer. With its stylish and youthful Art Deco inspired décor, the chic two-story lobby is bathed in earthy tones that set the mood for a relaxing yet luxurious stay. Upon check-in, you will be steps away from the finest in shopping, nightlife and dining that South Beach has to offer.
The 224 chicly appointed guestrooms and suites include double or king accommodations, featuring breathtaking city or ocean views that can be enjoyed from your private balcony (in select rooms). The highly popular Oceanfront guestrooms are a comfortable 250 square feet and include evening turndown service, a coffee maker, private balcony, writing desk, and pillow top mattress. Imagine lulling yourself to sleep while enjoying the soothing sound of waves from your balcony as you wind down from a perfect day during your endless summer escape.
For those with an adventurous spirit, First Surf Supply Co. offers surfing and stand-up paddleboarding lessons by the hour for one or more students. You needn’t venture far, as the ocean is literally in your backyard. After a quick but thorough safety and form lesson, we were standing upright on our swanky paddleboard in no time. Our instructor was by our side every step of the way, ensuring that our form would deliver the most efficient workout possible.
After working up an appetite, cool down with a frozen margarita from Lolo’s Surf Cantina while you peruse their menu that showcases authentic Mexican cuisine with a contemporary twist. Choose from award-winning tacos with house-made salsas, ceviche, and seafood in addition to vegetarian and vegan options. Lolo’s Corn Cake is a not-to-miss item that is worth the extra calories. Standout Signature Cocktails include the Moscow To Cancun of vodka, mango, guava, lime, lavender, Crème de Cassis and Prosecco and the Sayulita Sunset of mezcal, blood orange, lime, agave and bitters. Adjacent to the Stanton, Lolo’s is open daily for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
While Lolo’s Surf Cantina has that laid back surfer cool, Azabu Miami Beach is grown up and sexy. Experience the spirit of Omatenashi, the essence of Japanese hospitality, while savoring delectable Japanese treats such as Hamachi Jalapeño, a Toro Tasting, Miso Black Cod with ponzu, grated daikon radish, and yakiniku sauce and Wagyu Sirloin served on a hot stone. There is also an enticing selection of Nigiri, Sashimi and Sushi.
After a day of fun in the sun, book an appointment for the following day for The Stanton Spa Signature Hot Sea Shell Therapy massage that uses heated lava shells and controlled pressure to deliver a deep massage for aching muscles. For those with a weary mind, opt for the Clear Your Mind massage that features a relaxing blend of chamomile and rosemary to help calm both the mind and body. Facials, nail services, waxing, and other body treatments are also available.
When you are ready to venture off property, South Beach offers plenty of culinary diversions to suit all tastes. Head to Española Way to grab a Mojito and enjoy true Cuban music and cuisine at Havana 1957. If you would like a truly eclectic culinary experience, pay a visit to the newly opened Time Out Market Miami, a curated food hall with 17 kitchens represented, three bars, a demo cooking area and a video installation wall. Azucar serves up gourmet ice cream while Pho Mo creates Vietnamese inspired fare that is blended with a touch of Cajun for a unique twist.
Miami wouldn’t be Miami without its legendary nightlife. Check out the lineup of DJs and musical acts at Story to guarantee an epic night out. Story features 5 bars, bottle service and an expansive dance floor.
