 One prefered hotspot hangout in Miami is The Tides which is the largest hotel on Ocean Drive. It is cool and very trendy, it is a showplace for the Island Outpost hotel group, Chris Blackwell. The Tides only offer 45 hotel rooms but they are huge! Imagine, the smallest hotel suite being a lush 550 square feet. Here comes the kicker, all rooms are ocean front and they all come with built in telescopes.  Why? well, topless sunbathing is allowed at poolside. The Tides is in the heart of the Art Deco district and across the street from Lummus Park. The location of The Tides is primo and it is less than 20 miles from the Miami International Airport too.

 The location of The Tides offers other local attractions including Wolfsonian Museum, Flamingo Park, and Jackie Gleason Theater of the Performing Arts, Miami Beach Convention Center, and the Miami Seaquarium. Hotel amenities include the putting green, rooftop outdoor pool with cabanas and poolside dining, and chairs and umbrellas on the beach. It’s no wonder that The Tides have become one of the top hangouts in Miami. This 12-story vintage hotel just towers over South Beach and offers no comparison to any of the other hotels in that area. The Tides also offers a restaurant and bar that are elegant and cool, both in the same sentence. You never know who you will run into at the Tides bar or restaurant especially since Miami has been dubbed the center of all things hip in America.
 The Tides offers a very lively atmosphere where tourists can hang out and have a really great time. The room rates are around $200-$300 per night but the accommodations are impeccable. There really is no reason to leave the hotel grounds once you get there, some have actually spent their entire vacation right at The Tides because there was nothing that they wanted that they could not get, and you can’t top that. The Tides is not only the tallest hotel in Miami but also the most luxurious. The restaurant features only fine dining with a Mediterranean influence along with plenty of entertainment. The Tides also has a second restaurant and a poolside bar too. The Tides is definitely the place to be if you are looking for premiere hot spots. There is a sprawling roof top patio that is offered to guests for many different occasions. There is also a full service gym on the 9th floor.
 The Tides is a place that is so unique and trendy that it is no wonder that it is one of the must visit spots  in Miami. The lounge inside not only attracts visitors from the hotel but others as well because of its reputation for a great night on the town. More and more people are coming to The Tides because it is so much fun, or could it have something to do with the telescopes that offer a perfect view to the topless pool area!
