The Ritz-Carlton Bal Harbour, Miami is a luxury property with 95 elegant rooms and apartment-style suites located in the exclusive Bal Harbour Village overlooking Biscayne Bay. With only two guest rooms per floor, guests have superb privacy and little noise, plus suite perks include butler service and kitchens. This Ritz-Carlton has a hip restaurant with a popular Sunday brunch, 10,000-square-foot spa with Exhale fitness classes, and a small gym. The pool and semi-private beach area are relaxed, and the (pricey) private cabanas are a favorite among guests. Though there are several kid-friendly features, families wanting an on-site kids' club should compare hotel rates and features with the St. Regis Bal Harbour Resort down the street.

The St. Regis Bal Harbour Resort is a luxury beachfront property in the exclusive area of Bal Harbour. Marble floors, well-styled interiors, and high-end features draw well-heeled guests. The 216 spacious rooms and suites have a refined-but-relevant feel with five-piece bathrooms, high-tech features, and contemporary decor. All rooms have furnished balconies with ocean views, while suites add Nespresso machines, kitchens, and butler service. Grand and gorgeous spaces fill out the property; an elegant spa, two pool areas, and lobby dining area are highlights. The hotel's day villas, semi-private beach area, vintage birdcage tea service, and nightly champagne sabering are big hits. There are also a kids' club, gym, three restaurants, and free Wi-Fi with the resort fee. For comparison, the Ritz-Carlton Bal Harbour also has an exclusive feel, but without the overindulgent vibe.

The upper-middle-range Sea View Hotel is a quiet property originally built in 1947 on a private beach. An olympic-size pool offers cabanas, a bar, seasonal diner, and inside is an American restaurant and cocktail lounge with live music. Other amenities include a gym, beauty treatments, private event space, business services, and a gift shop. There are 220 simple, modern rooms, some with balconies offering bay or sea views; stylish suites have modern kitchenettes. Common areas, however, feel old-fashioned and there's a daily resort fee. Though the hotel is nearby high-end shopping at the Bal Harbour Shops, the location isn’t as exciting as South Beach, where travelers will find the Savoy Hotel.
