Avalon Hotel
Information & Amenities
Hotel Information: This Art Deco boutique hotel on Ocean Drive is a central location for guests in town to enjoy sand and sea, South Beach nightlife, outdoor cafés, and shops. Evenings, when the hotel’s restaurant is open, the lobby transforms into a sea of color and light.
Amenity highlights: Complimentary amenities include a breakfast buffet of eggs, yogurt, bagels, meats, coffee, and juice; wireless Internet access; and one computer terminal with wireless Internet access in the lobby. The Avalon's restaurant, A Fish Called Avalon (dinner only), serves seafood and other specialties indoors and out; the Avalon Bar serves cocktails and specialty drinks nightly. Hotel guests receive a discount at a nearby fitness center.
Insider tip: One of the secrets to avoiding long lines and gaining access to South Beach’s trendiest nightclubs is to arrive before 10 PM--considered very early by South Beach standards--when clubs are less crowded. The odds of getting inside decrease significantly after midnight. The hotel’s front desk staff can also help guests secure VIP passes.
