The new 1 Hotel on the northern end
of South Beach is the best hotel in Miami
Beach to get your zen on.
The 1 chain, which also has a hotel on Cen-
tral Park and another opening soon at the
foot of the Brooklyn Bridge, prides itself
on being eco-friendly, with room keys made
from balsam wood instead of plastic and a
recycled cardboard "do not disturb sign."
The glasses are made of recycled wine
bottles and the tap water goes through a
triple filtered purification system so that
guests know they should not be wasting
money on the water that comes in plastic
bottles. The idea is to combine luxury and
the ecologically sensitive advancements.
While staying at 1 Hotel may make you
feel like you've done right by the planet,
the better reason to stay there is that it is
luxurious, but not stuffy, with every amen-
ity you can imagine. In fact, Condé Nast
named it one of the top 10 best new hotels
in the world to open in 2016. You might
not want to leave the place. There are four
pools, the best of which is an adults-only
pool on the rooftop, four restaurant/bars
