The Landon

This chic boutique hotel is located in Bay Harbor Islands, Florida, just north of Miami, offering a quiet respite from the party hard city but a convenient location close enough to visit the shops and restaurants found in Bal Harbour. The rooms here are dressed in white linens with pops of magenta and lime and are equipped with 42-inch HDTVs, iPod docking stations and Keurig coffee makers. Some guests found the accommodations to be small and in need of an update, but any issues brought to the hotel are met with a smile and solution. Hotel guests are treated to complimentary breakfast each morning (which is covered by the property's $15 "urban fee"), though some recent visitors note the offerings aren't anything spectacular. The Palm Restaurant, however, earns praise for its delectable (albeit a tad expensive) dishes. And while it doesn't offer a pool like other Miami-based properties, the daddy O hotel miami is just a short drive (or walk) to the beaches that line Florida's eastern coast.
