Try The Regent. A hip boutique hotel. Had a wonderful stay there last week. Great rooms (suite style), cool staff. Breakfast was included in the midweek price of $250 a night. Its located in South Beach, but the beach itself is across the street. They have a private area on the beach though.
Moved to the Mandarin Oriental for the weekend. Great property but not much to do around. A bargain at $189
