The allure of a sunny, white sandy beach in a glamorous destination is too hard to pass.  Our resources may fall short of our dreams except if you choose to visit beautiful and sophisticated Miami Beach.

There is a moment to pause with the price of airfare staring us back from the computer but if you are lucky enough to latch on to a bargain, you can just as well, with a hotel in South Beach.  That hotel is the Continental Oceanfront located on 18^th Street.  Facing the ocean on Collins Avenue, this is one of the lowest-priced hotels in Miami Beach.

Continental Oceanfront Hotel South Beach Reservations

The Continental Oceanfront Miami Beach provides limited service but what you get in return is direct access to the splendor of the ocean and a superb location in South Beach.   Many of the rooms have ocean views and others you can look directly out to the ocean.  The accommodations are simple and the hotel does not have a lot of amenities and services you may find at other well-heeled and more expensive hotels in Miami Beach.  There is no restaurant on the premises but you can walk out and find dozens of eateries for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

Within a short walking distance you are right in the heart of the glitzy, trendy and otherwise hip place in South Beach – Ocean Drive.  Lots of outdoor cafes, nightclubs, boutique shops line up and down this strip.  The favorite pastime is people watching.  They come from all over the world to enjoy the scenery, and to be seen.   If that is not enough, the Lincoln Mall fashionable shops are literally just around the corner from the hotel.  Those attending a conference, a major show or convention at the Miami Beach Convention Center will be delighted to find out that they can stroll there under 10 minutes.

Shelborne Oceanfront Resort – a Great Place to Stay in South Beach, Miami Florida

Miami Beach, Fl – On December 28, 1940, the Shelborne Oceanfront Beach Resort opened its doors with style with the famed bandleader Chet Brownagle and his orchestra.

Inspired by the Art Deco architect Igor Polevitsky, the Shelborne has a less ornate style than other buildings in South Beach but its trademark 30-foot deco sign, the Shelborne South Beach Resort hotel cannot be missed along Collins Avenue. Indeed, the Shelborne has enjoyed almost mythical status in Miami Beach through the 1940’s, 50’s, and 60’s.  It was home to the Miss America and Miss Universe Pageants, and was a home away from home for some of America’s biggest stars. This year, the Shelborne’s star continues to shine as it hosts for the third year in a row DJ Mag @ The Shelborne, the most notorious party held during the Winter Music Conference in March.

Besides its notoriety, the hotel has one of the most desirable locations along Miami Beach.  Foremost, the Shelborne Beach Resort faces the white sandy beaches of Miami Beach.  And, it is literally in the heart of South Beach’s Art Deco District walking distance to Ocean Drive, trendy boutique shops, night clubs and restaurants on Lincoln Road.  The Miami Beach Convention Center is a 5 minute walk. Downtown Miami and the Cruise Port of Miami are 10 minutes away by car and Miami International Airport is only 20 minutes away.

Guests arriving at the hotel will find uniquely decorated luxury hotel rooms, suites and town homes – all with authentic Art Deco décor, luxury bedding and all the comforts of a modern hotel.  Amongst its many great features, the Shelborne has a fine dining restaurant and rooftop fitness center.  Guests can soak up the sun on the white pool deck, enjoy the hotel’s sparkling outdoor Olympic swimming pool, rent a poolside cabana (private bathroom, shower) for the day, bask in the two hot tubs or simply enjoy the white sandy beaches just beyond the pool area.

The Shelborne Oceanfront Resort is completing a multi-million dollar renovation which will bring it back its Art Deco grandeur and thus will continue its heritage as a great place to stay in South Beach.
