The Standard Hotel Serene, calm, glamorous. Have you ever crossed the street or drove into a new neighborhood or stepped into a friend's home or a store and feel the air around you shift? All of a sudden you feel calm, peaceful or happy, just SWITCH, everything changes. Well, that's how I feel as soon as I walk into the lobby of Miami Beach's Standard hotel. From the frenetic pace of Miami's South Beach into the decompressed sexiness of the South of France. Sitting on a wide swath of Biscayne Bay, the hotel features the usual full-service spa, an above average restaurant and activities like bingo, movie nights and Love Life Sundays. They even boast an Artist-in-Residency program. But it is the Standard's wholeness that you'll remember. You'll want to be held in its soothing embrace forever... www.standardhotels.com/miami
