We have some beautiful hotels in SWFL, and while none made U.S. News’ list of the Best in the USA, four Miami-Area hotels did.

There’s nothing quite like a luxurious hotel stay to make you feel pampered, refreshed, and rejuvenated. Whether you’re on a romantic getaway, a family vacation or a business trip, a luxury hotel is the perfect place to escape the stress of everyday life and indulge in some much-needed R&R.

One of the defining features of a high-end hotel is its attention to detail. From the plush bedding to the elegant décor, every detail provides guests with a comfortable and indulgent experience. You’ll find luxurious amenities in your room like high-end toiletries, comfortable robes and a minibar stocked with gourmet snacks and drinks.

Another hallmark of a five-star hotel is the quality of its service. Whether you need help with your luggage, a recommendation for a nearby restaurant, or just someone to chat with, the staff are always ready to help. In addition to the comfort and service, luxury hotels often offer a range of on-site amenities that are designed to help guests relax and rejuvenate. You’ll find restaurants, swimming pools, fitness centers and spas that offer a range of treatments, from massages to facials.

So just how special does a hotel have to be to land a list of the Best in the USA? U.S. News defines luxury hotels as those that receive a 4-, 4.5- or 5-star “hotel class” rating on a regular basis. In order to be included in their rankings, the property must have a minimum of 20 rooms.
