EDITOR’S PICK: Dream South Beach
The topic is sexy hotels and we haven’t gotten to Dream yet? These properties always feel designed by someone who is keenly interested in sex. The rooms and suites are stylish and moodily lit. The linens are top notch and… well… to be perfectly honest, the property is not kid-friendly.
Which is nice. Because a bunch of screaming kids is the opposite of sexy.
The pool is a little smaller at this property but you really don’t go to South Beach to sit around the pool at your hotel. The point is to be on the move, visit other properties, and hit the beach. That said, there’s a nice little speakeasy taco shop and plenty of gathering spaces.
Still… my love for Dream is based in how much I love these rooms. Just look at that picture. It screams sex.
