Trés Tides: Special Rates for Advance Bookings at Tides South Beach

Since the restoration by acclaimed interior designer Kelly Wearstler, The Tides has reigned in South Beach as the glamorous "Diva of Ocean Drive." Completed in April 2008, the redesign infused the historic gem with opulent design elements, vintage pieces, original artwork, and custom-made furniture. Call it coastal chic, call it barefoot elegance; the overall effect is alluring. The lobby-- pictured above-- is accented with stone, gold-leaf and leather. While the 45 oversized guest suites-- pictured below-- are decked out with treasures handpicked by Wearstler. (You'll find antique sculptures in the penthouses.)

One of the best things about a stay at The Tides is the Personal Assistant Program-- offering guests round-the-clock service from traditional-style butlers trained by Robert Watson, founder and president of "The Guild of Professional English Butlers." No request is to small for your personal assistant- from running a bath to grooming Fido. Yes, there's a complimentary Continental breakfast to-go for all overnight hotel guests served in the lobby daily, but don't miss the all-natural, organic breakfast at La Marea, showcasing the best, hand-picked ingredients in a stylish ambience. Tip: Book 30, 60, or 90 days in advance and take advantage of special rates at The Tides South Beach.
