The work of artist Cyrille Andre at Art Miami.

All of the fabulous art and design exhibitions affiliated with the moniker of Art Basel have come and gone. While here, the city pulsates in a state of total immersion — from the thrill of Wynwood Walls and the boutique-style of Aqua 11 — to the sophistication of Design Miami and lots of other cool stuff.

Townhouse Hotel Miami Beach

I was swooning over aromatic white truffle oil drizzled on thinly sliced fresh yellowfin tuna. Best part, it wasn’t a dream. I was actually dining at one of the most sultry settings I’ve ever eaten sushi in known as the Bond Street Lounge at the Townhouse Hotel. It’s quite a scene for hipsters. Besides having a bite, my plan was to check out the new Rooftop Lounge designed by my dining companions, Perry Tortorelli and Ricardo Raphael of Details at Home.

Polenta Scarpetta at the Fontainebleau, Scarpetta

A recent overnight at the inimitable Fontainebleau on Miami Beach proved remarkably memorable. It remains the essence of glam—from the lobby’s gorgeous chandeliers and marble everywhere in the Lapis spa (plus deluge rain showers like you wouldn’t believe) to hot shops for bathing beauties with haute taste. On this occasion, my visit comprised of a snazzy dine-around experience—thanks to the Fontainebleau’s participation in the Miami Spice restaurant event, happening now through September 30th.

Marenas Resort

On a recent trip to Miami Beach I found the perfect spot to set up home base for a pedestrian tour of the “new” Sunny Isles Beach. Marenas Resort, tucked oceanside along the strip, is a tall handsome tower that contrasts with the memory of roadside motels that lined Miami Beach’s Highway A1A (Collins Ave.) decades ago.

If Cleopatra were alive today, you would find her sitting cross-legged on a tiled, built-in "throne" inside the herbal liconium of the new Canyon Ranch Spa in Miami Beach. There's also an igloo, where the temperature is set to a frigid 45 degrees.
