Vintro Hotel South Beach

Located about a mile northeast of the Lincoln Road Mall and 2 miles north of Ocean Drive, Vintro Hotel South Beach, Curio Collection by Hilton offers guests prime access to the area's shops and restaurants with less noise and fewer crowds than typically found in Miami Beach. Guests praise this property's complimentary bike rental, so making the trek over to Miami Beach's hot spots is a breeze. If lounging at the hotel is more your speed, sprawl out in a hammock at the rooftop plunge pool or claim a chair on the city's famous beach, which is within walking distance. After a day out in the sun, enjoy a Mediterranean- and Latin-inspired appetizer or meal at Vintro Kitchen. Even though past diners gripe about the restaurant's hours – 7 to 11 a.m. for breakfast and 7 to 10 or 11 p.m. for dinner – and limited menu, they insist that the dishes and service justify a meal or two here. Accommodations also receive mixed reviews. While some past travelers characterized the rooms as clean, modern and spacious, others described the rooms as loud (thanks to the thin walls) and cramped, especially the accommodations (some Standard King rooms) that aren't outfitted with windows. If quiet and natural light are what you're after, request a room away from the kitchen.
