It goes without saying that five-star hotels receive the highest rating for good reason. Simply put, they are the best of the best....the hotel elite. In addition to the luxury surroundings and expected amenities-high-end furnishings, tasteful decor, award-winning restaurants and top-notch facilities-what really sets them apart is the stellar, or should we say, phenomenal service. That service means that virtually no matter what you want, they will provide, from the well-connected concierge who is able to snag those "sold out" concert tickets, to the in=house seamstress who can expertly mend a hand-tailored jacket. And for travelers who refuse to settle for anything but the best, Miami and South Beach has an enviable smattering of five-star properties to choose from. Here are South Florida's cream of the crop.
