New York's boutique Hotel Gansevoort has gone south -- to Miami Beach. Gansevoort South, which opened this month, has 334 rooms and 259 condos and features a modern design by the same New York team that stylized the 187-room Gansevoort in the Big Apple's meatpacking district.

Gansevoort South, in the Mid-Beach area at 2377 Collins Ave., is larger. Eighteen stories up, it has a 26,000-square-foot rooftop area with a 110-foot pool, plunge bar and lounge, surrounded by private cabanas, with ocean views. On the fourth floor is an infinity-edge pool, and a 50-foot-long aquarium in the lobby will house sharks. Room rates start at $325 for doubles. Info: (305) 604-1000, www.gansevoortsouth.com.

Where am I?

Should we take offense, order a drink, or what? That depends, of course, on where you think these words turned up.
