The Pool at SLS South Beach

"Still, the SLS isn’t about relaxing inside -- it’s about soaking up the scene at the pools, restaurants, and beach"

"The most luxurious accommodations, the Bungalow Suites, come with upgraded amenities such as personal poolside terraces, soaking tubs and 47-inch HDTVs"

"outdoor pool area (starring a 10-ft"

"Katsuya delivers sleek Japanese, and out back the social scene snaps, crackles, and pops at a bar, two pool decks, and Hyde Beach, which serves lunch but turns into a nightlife must when the sun goes down"

"Housed in a restored 1939 art deco building, the SLS Hotel South Beach exudes beachfront sophistication over a commingling of Latin and Asian inspiration in its common areas, which include headlining restaurants Bazaar by José Andrés, Katsuya South Beach, and Hyde Beach—an 8,000-square-foot masterpiece of pool, beach, and cabanas attracting glitterati and hotties daily"

"The cabana-lined pool has become a playground for visitors and locals alike; inside, chef José Andrés's The Bazaar restaurant is a foodie haven with a menu that's as whimsical as Starck's design details"

"Guests who want to avoid the revelry can stick to the first pool (the one between the back patio and the giant silver duck sculpture) and rent a private cabana"

"Only a few rooms boast terraces, but keep in mind that ocean views are pool views, too, and the pool scene here is a ruckus affair"

") Pop on your Speedo and hit the beach, which is where South Beach denizens go to work on their tans when they’re not reclining poolside"

"Housed in an art-deco shell, the hotel encapsulates Miami cool: a seamless succession of pool parties, state-of-the-art cocktails, Instagrammable environs and a sunny South Beach disposition"
