Miami, Florida

Z Ocean Hotel Bed

South Beach has long been regarded as one of the most glamorous districts in the world for its internationally famous nightclubs, award winning restaurants, high fashion shops, and perhaps most impressive of all, its long, sprawling topless-optional white sand beach. Here beauty is in endless bloom in plentiful sunshine along crystal clear aqua waters only paradise could trump, and capable of making anyone’s jaws drop. Miraculously, Z Ocean Hotel, perfectly positioned on Ocean Drive has managed to distill all the glamour and sensuality of the famous strip of beach fronting Lummis Park, into one gorgeous and discreet luxury boutique hotel.  Situated in the heart of Miami Beach, the last in the endless progression of landmarked small, oceanfront properties along historic Deco Drive, Z Ocean Hotel, with a fabulous location and breathtaking interior, was originally opened as the Regent Hotel, later to become the De Soleil, only to arrive at the perfection it is today (all three hotels have been managed under the same company, the Crowne Plaza).

The hotel’s 79 over-sized suites were designed by the award winning Miami based architectural firm, Arquitectonica, in its signature contemporary modernist style. The premier rooftop suites have ocean facing double-story terraces, each with a spiral staircase that leads to your own Roman hot tub in the sky that is filled with fresh hot water with luxury body-softening essences on demand and available 24 hours a day.

All Suites feature luxury featherbed duvets and goose down pillows. The spacious bathrooms come with separate vanity areas for him and her, along with beautiful granite vanity tops and full-body showers with four wall sprays and a rain shower. Suites also include a European wet bar stocked with stainless steel and nickel-plated appliances, a cooler, mini-bar and espresso machine. Wi-Fi and a laptop compatible in-room safe to store your valuables complete the luxurious surroundings.

Should they be so inclined, guests need not wander further than the hotel’s oceanfront candle-lit lounge for a taste of the exotic away from their beautiful room. Here patrons sip cool drinks in the pleasant shade of refracting light where swimmers can be seen, as if in an aquarium, doing their strokes in the second-story glass bottom pool, glimpsed through glass squares in the ceiling.

The fact of the matter is, with the decadence that South Beach has to offer fully packaged into the Z Ocean Hotel’s suites which provide a fantasy escape to romantic vacationers, guests might find no reason to leave their suite or the hotel premises at all.

On a Travel Squire trip to Cape Town, South Africa, Sabrina Canfield had a memorable day where, first, she unexpectedly found herself at the top floor of a seemingly abandoned warehouse that later turned out to be Cape Town’s premier recording studio. Later that day the studio’s producer invited her out for a drink. She went, in jeans and a tee-shirt, and found herself at a VIP black tie party for Cape Town’s renowned Jazz Fest.
“I mean everyone was at this party,” she told Travel Squire. “This young woman watched me a long time – my jeans, at this event! I felt almost rude, and they were taking photos of me because of who I was with. – The woman at last came over and asked if I was a dancer.
“’No,’ I said. ‘I’m a writer from New Orleans.’ At the terrace table where I stood, a man in French cuffs with gold links had only just lit a cigar. He bolted from his stool the minute I opened my mouth, knocking over the table and drinks as he fled.
“I realized you never say you’re a writer. Next time it will be, ‘Yes, thank you, I am a dancer.’ A dancer sounds much lovelier anyway.”
When she’s not having travel adventures for The Squire, Canfield works as a news reporter in New Orleans and is at work on her third novel.
