The Raleigh Hotel Miami Review
The Raleigh Hotel is located in the popular South Beach area in Miami. This ocean front hotel has managed to set itself apart in quite a unique way, while all the other hotels are based on modernistic, urban and chic designs, the Raleigh managed to gain its popularity by restoring the hotel to its Pre-War glory with its old school ambiance and the olden dark wood men’s club atmosphere.
The Raleigh hotel is calm, classy, understated and peaceful. But it does have contemporary and state of the art technology touches in its rooms which is needed in any hotel room today. The hotel was purchased in 2005 by celebrity hotelier Andre Balazs who then converted it to its present day glory.
Accommodation
The hotel has 104 beautifully appointed rooms and suites and you can select from garden or ocean view as per your choice. Each of the rooms has unique style and the comfort of home. The in room amenities include Plasma TVs, DVDs, internet, mini bars, in room safe and Kiehl’s bath amenities. The suites here are generous in size as well as in services with your own private balconies with breathtaking views of the ocean where you can have a relaxed breakfast or enjoy a drink in the balcony.
Dining
The Raleigh has its own restaurant that serves food both indoors as well as outdoors. The restaurant has a laid back atmosphere where guests can spend hours over their dinner or lunch. The menu features cuisines with a European flair and some hearty steaks and fresh sea food. Seasonally the restaurant also offers French and Latin dishes with their own Raleigh twist. There is a full service bars that offers some classics as well as exotic drinks and cocktails for those who just want to relax with a drink and a few munchies. Breakfast, dinner and lunch are all served here at the restaurant.
Hotel Amenities
One of the best features of the Raleigh is its pool which is known to be the best in town. Here you can sit and relax all day and meet and chat up with the other guests. There are lounge chairs and umbrellas and it is the most fun way to spend the day either soaking up the sun and swimming, reading or just people watching. Food and drinks are served up pool side. Other facilities offered at the hotel are bikes on rent for those who want to explore All Inclusive Miami on bicycles, meeting and conference halls that have audio and video conference facilities, its own private beach access where the hotel will supply you with beach gear like chairs and umbrellas as well as beach toys and equipment for children. The hotel has a spa of its own that would provide massages to guests either in their own rooms or by the pool, whichever is preferred.
The Raleigh is a unique experience, something different than the other Miami hotels. Its friendly staff and its old world charm can instantly put you at ease, allowing you to enjoy your Florida vacation just as it was meant to be.
