And what could be more magical than taking a soak in your bathtub while watching the sparkly lights illuminate the Eiffel Tower? Enjoying a pain au chocolat breakfast in bed the following morning?

Tricked-out lighting and offbeat decor set the tone at this funky addition to the South Beach hotel scene. Although the sitting and sleeping spaces are actually combined, the oversize, plush king bed makes for a fantastic sleep. And if things get hot and heavy on the couch, it’s not far to the bed. If things get really hot, The Dream has windows that actually open for a nice breeze. Head upstairs to Highbar for a nightcap on one of their retro wicker lounges before calling it a night in this sexy suite.
