At daybreak, head up to The Deck and find a serenity to practice your yoga. As the day moves on, you may tuck into a shaded corner with the New York Times or a book from your Betsy Room Library. Alternatively you may choose to worship the sun, adding a personalized touch to the hotel’s luxury amenities with attendants delivering chilled face towels and cooling cucumber rounds to protect your eyes from the sun. Hotel guests can enjoy light and refreshing cocktails: gently muddled with guava or passion fruit, sweet nectars and flavored vodkas, all come together to add a distinct high note to the delicious beverages, topped off with locally grown herb garnishes. By dusk, discerning visitors can sit back, relax and watch South Beach neon emerge from a private perch above the fray. The Deck is a perfect place to kick off the night with a casually refined ambience transitioning at nightfall into a starry lounge-like setting
