Miami will have a Four Seasons soon. Four Seasons Hotel & Tower, one of the world's tallest hotels (800 feet) should be open by January (was recently topped off). As for hotels, my favourite is the Astor on Washington Avenue. Very chic, very nice, very modern, and not that expensive. Also, the brand-new (about 9 months old) Mandarin Bay in downtown is excellent. There are two other RC's under construction, one in CocoWalk and one in South Beach. Both were supposed to be open by now, but the company building them (same for both) pulled out of the project because of delays (which they caused) just yesterday. Luckily, another company has stepped in and hopes to finish both projects soon (CocoWalk already has the first tower open and South Beach is roughly 85% done). One hotel to avoid is the Sheraton in downtown. Not that it's bad, but it is just outdated compared to all the newer hotels. Also very nice is the J.W. Marriot at Barclay's Financial Centre in downtown, brand-new, but very business-oriented.
