Stained glass windows in the interior restaurant.

The Back Lobby - ping pong, foosball, booze and books.

Bedroom. Simple, sweet, and effective.

Endless supply of treats in the mini bar.

Outside my room, mellow hang area for private time.

Entrance to the spa: a wormhole transporting
you into alpha relaxation.

A classic Turkish style Hamam: a Grecian half circle layout of stone with hot coils warming you underneath.

Exterior Deck backside. A lovely place to begin your day with breakfast and the New York TImes.

Schmoozing, sunning, and oysters at the pool.

Blue skies and blue water. I have arrived at The Standard Spa.

The Standard Miami is a converted spa hotel
from the 1950's called The Lido Hotel.

Great pick to escape the city, cleanse the body, start a juice fast, do some yoga, and return to the city recharged.
For those “in the know” it’s a highly social gathering of fashion, entertainment, and music business folk. A pitstop for the “who’s who”. Good for power meetings.
A relaxing pool you can get lost in for days...and nights.
The hotel is dog friendly. Yay!

Hectic valet: if you’re in a rush to get in and out, give yourself extra time for valet parking to get your car. It can be quite a wait.
Due to the policy of no kids in the pool, the hotel is not a family friendly escape. (however, I'm sure the adults appreciate the non pee-pee pool)
