Hotel Nash - Beach Hotel

About the hotel

The hotel Nash is that rarest of south beach breeds. A hotel that's got style - and service - in spades. Located a block behind the Infamous Versace mansion in the heart of the Art Deco district (indeed, many of the hotels rooms look out onto the mansion's observatory), the Nash is an object lesson in '30s Deco style, restored to the tune of $11 Million. Its 55 rooms are done in soothing sage and ivory, the seductive scents of aromatherapy pervade every room and public space, and three tres intime pools (freshwater, saltwater, and mineral water) occupy a courtyard garden. The food at Mark's, star South Florida chef Mark Militello's in-house restaurant, highlights local ingredients (Florida squid with chermoula and harissa, spiny lobster in a curry broth) to superb effect. Shy away from the standard city-view rooms, which overlook a bleak roofscape, in favor of garden views- the higher the floor the better.

Restaurant Notes

Marks South Beach, the Nash's lobby-level restaurant, offers world class cuisine and serves as the first Miami Beach location for Mark Milatello, the master chef celebrated for his five-star restaurants; Mark's on Las Olas Boulevard in Fort Lauderdale and Marks on the Park in Boca Raton.
