We have decided to share this discussion.
Miami Beach usually is safe. Some rules and experiences could help you to stay better in SoBe.

This is very urgent! I’m very nervous, so I’m sorry for mistakes.
It’s difficult to believe, but this is 100% true and I have several witnesses!

Last night I went to Hakkasan restaurant with my wife and 3 friends, after the restaurant we took a table at LIV club (two bottles minimum). They gave us a table on a first floor, we took one magnum bottle of Grey Goose vodka and one bottle of champagne. I paid for it with a debit card (signed two different slips – one “pre-authorization” and another one was for the total). We were having a good time there until some people got to the table next to us, security guy was OVER concerned about their comfort and was aggressively pushing us from “their” area even if it was a couple of centimeters and we never touched anyone or spilled anything. The final point was when I was sitting with “one leg on another”, so my shoe pointed in to direction of that table and security guy asked me to sit in a different way. I’ve asked him why is he giving me a hard time, he said that he will have “talk” with me outside.

I said ok, thinking that I can explain everything and we’ll go to the manager, he actually called other security, they kicked me out of the club, stole my US$40,000 golden chain with my father’s name on it and DG hat “MOCKBA/MOSCOW”.

Outside they called the police and said that I didn’t want to leave the private property and didn’t pay the bill. Police arrested me, didn’t want to listen to me, I came to a conclusion that they are somehow corrupted by people at LIV, because they were 100% on their side, they humiliated me and sent to jail. I had to pay 5k bail and I spent 12 hours in jail with extremely high heart rate, headache (I have severe migraine), on the floor with lots of homeless people inside (have been transferred twice), got no phone call for at least 6 hours.

I feel very bad now, my chain is very important to me, it was my father’s special gift to me, I need to close 2 cases in the court. And I would like to file a lawsuit against the hotel, nightclub and the Miami Police for many different reasons.

I need a very good lawyer with such experience in Miami. I need a lawyer to contact me ASAP, because everything is still “fresh”.

Best Hotels in Collins Avenue

1.Setai and Loews Miami Beach Hotel – Convention – Big but very nice
2.The Delano
3.The Raleigh Hotel
4.The Tiffany and The Shore
5.The Shelbourne and The Sagamore

The Tides – On ocean drive
The Standard – trendy hotel not on collins though
The Ritz Carlton – not on collins though
The Gansevoort

You can go also to the W Hotel new opening very nice , or Fontainebleau.

Gansevoort is the best out of all the options. Fontainebleu is perhaps slightly better, but way of. G. is walking distance from south beach.

The W Hotel
The Setai
The Shore Club
Gansevoort

All those hotels are the best there are on Collin’s Avenue.

I’m in Miami now and I’ve seen all four of them and they’re amazing, check the Hotels Page out to see which hotel best fits you.

Delano and Gansevoort are great.

Comments and advices from our Guests:

For pre drinks go to the Setai (photo above) or Mondrian.

Then if you want to go clubbing SET or LIV, completely different ambiance.
LIV is huge if ur at a table the service is amazing , SET even with a table its a smaller club the music is the best but its often very crowded and even with a table ur bumping into people all night.

In my opinion SET is a nicer club with a better crowd, but Fontainebleau’s LIV (photo below) is always fun depending on the mood ur in…

Delano was very good on that night one week ago :)

Mondarin Hotel is the best new spot for friday night…believe me!!!
Delano is Tuesday night ,not Friday..

Mondrian is really good on Fridays

MySoBe.com, the site of South Beach.

What our Guests say:

For Shopping you can go to Lincoln rd, nice shops there, Bal Harbor shop mall for designers, we like also Aventura mall for regular shop (please advice that you need a car or taxi for the last 2).

For NightLife Delano is still good on Tuesday Nights.

About Delano there is a pool-table inside and the legend wants that if a man plays there a girl will arrive and challenge him :-)

Is a nice place that i advise you to visit, there is also a nice sushi bar inside…

We advise you also the Sky-Bar and the Music (club)…both on Miami Beach…

If you have enough time move to Everglades Natural Park, is an unbeliveble experience…if you like crocodiles…

1) The W Hotel in South Beach, photo above.

2) The Standard Hotel in Island Avenue is my favourite ….

3) What about Gansevoort? I haven’t been yet, but I am referencing the one in New York.

4) When I visited Miami, I enjoyed the following places:
Hotels: Gansevoort, Hotel Setai, Mondrian (it is on the Bay but really cool spot).
Outings: Gansevoort roof top, Delano Hotel, Fontainebleau
resto: CasaTua, Barton G, sushi Samba on Lincoln, Asia de Cuba at Mondrian.

5) Hotel: Mondrian, Setai

6) All depends what u want!!! if u want have fun, girls, party and madness go to Shore Club, there is a crazy pool party on sunday, a party on tuesday in Delano and has a red bar lounge inside the hotel, also Nobu the japanese restaurant.

7) Setai is very good but for couples or old people! Gansevoort could be nice but if u are guest u dont have priority to enter in Louis(club in Gans), the same happens with Liv in Fountainebleau.

Comments and advices from our Guests:

Monday:
Probably the slowest day in Miami.

The newly opened Segafredo Espanola Way on 500 Espanola is a great place on Mondays to have dinner and drinks. Very good food, nice crowd and a fabulous terrace at Espanola Way. One of my favorite places … very cozy and nice to sit outside.

When it comes to clubbing Tantra is the only place where there is sth happening on Mondays..
I don´t really like it there..

Tuesday:
The party week starts in Miami on Tuesday.

Don´t miss Hotel Delano from around 10pm on. From like midnight go downstairs to Florida Room which ist he club of the Delano. There´s also great live music starting at around 10pm.

From midnight on it turns into a club. From there move on to Louis at Hotel Gansevoort or Mokai just across the street .. or both ;)

What our Guests say:

1) Fontainebleau for all my life (photo above)

2) The Setai – Located directly on the beach in Miami’s famous Art Deco district,

3) Consider Hotel of South Beach, the Shore Club and the new W

4) Fontainebleau really is very nice! Very impressive and new! but it’s at the end of the strip and not sure about the crowd but has a really good club in the hotel as well and fantastic pool.
I stayed at the White Law and was overall very pleased, over the weekend it was packed and full of young people.

5) Stay away from the Shore club which I found to be awful and old. Delano is great and very Miami…
The Setai is beautiful but too classic and laid back for Miami I think…

(Miami Beach) – The only nice sailing yacht we see showing available again for the full period of August 10 – 31 for Miami Beach, Keys and Bahamas cruise with 4 double bed cabins is a nice 53m. sailing yacht called Atmosphere.

A 2000 Perini Navi (very nice yacht), sleeps 12 guests in 6 cabins at charter rate 200,000 Euros/wk plus expenses.

We thought you might like a little additional information on the typical costs associated with charters on these large yachts.

The charter fee generally covers only the hire of the yacht and crew, all other expenses are in addition to the charter fee. These additional expenses are covered by the Advance Provisioning Allowance or APA.

The APA for sailing yachts is usually 15 – 25% of the charter fee.
