The New Clinton Hotel
is located in the heartof South Beach. Newly opened in
May of 2003, this ultra-contemporary hotel raises the
pole for cutting edge design andinnovation in this already
chic neighborhood. Abandoning mostconventional ideals
for hotel design, the Clinton follows itsown muse and
the result is an ultra-cool, intimate and sexyplace to
stay when visiting one of the world's most populardestinations.
While the building itself is a product of theneighborhood's
historical art deco past, the Clinton is ofcompletely
new construction on the inside. Situated onWashington
Avenue, the hotel is surrounded by diverserestaurants,
trendy shops and lively bars. The location isjust steps
from the beach, yet pleasantly removed from thetourist
traps on Ocean Drive.
The corridors have verysubdued lighting, which lends a
mysterious feel as you go toyour room for the first time.
No two guest rooms are the exactsame at the Clinton. Each
room will have a unique colorscheme, and some difference
in layout. The common theme is thesleek, handsome, contemporary
décor and a superior level ofcomfort. The rooms have custom
furnishings, well-appointed (ifnot fantastic) bathrooms,
and some unexpected perks. The roomsare also equipped
with a desk area with DSL access. TheClinton's facilities
also go beyond the norm for thisneighborhood. Besides
offering free passes to a local healthclub, the Clinton
features a small, exercise pool. There isalso a second,
"reflecting pool", and a relaxing courtyard,which offer
a tranquil respite from the seemingly non-stopenergy on
the streets of South Beach. The Clinton is home toan outstanding
onsite restaurant, "Pao", which offers classicChinese
cuisine in a stylish, modernist setting, with theoption
of dining in the courtyard by the pool. High profilecelebrities
have already chosen to dine at this alreadyacclaimed restaurant,
which serves until 2 am. Hotel guestsshould inquire about
some complimentary perks, such as freeentry to local clubs,
a boat tour, and even the free loan of abicycle during
their visit. Catering to an adult clientele andtheir lifestyle,
the Clinton is literally just steps from finedining, shopping
and nightlife.
