Miami morning-after cure at Tides South Beach

While most people can’t afford the extravagant “Million Dollar Buyout” package being offered by the Tides South Beach, their simpler “SoBe a la carte” promotional rates are perfect for dealing with those South Beach hangovers. Book a room and get breakfast for two and a late check-out time of 3 p.m. at this fashion-forward oceanfront Miami boutique hotel.

Deal: Promotional rates for oceanfront deluxe rooms/junior suites start at $435/735 per night, excluding taxes and gratuities. I found that these promo rates averaged just $40/night more than the cheapest 21-day advance purchase web rates for ocean-view rooms and suites. For people who love to sleep in late, that’s a deal. Use promotion code CARTE when booking online.

When: Offer valid from now through December 31st, 2007 (subject to availability); black-out dates apply.

Why Go: For a dreamy ocean-view room at a classic art-deco South Beach hotel, but one with more modern sensibilities. That’s because the Tides South Beach is part of the stylish Kor Hotel Group, which also manages Santa Monica’s Viceroy and the Avalon in Beverly Hills.

Why Not: Because the hotel is undergoing renovations until late summer 2007, you may want to wait. Call ahead to check if the pool will be open during your stay, and if not, look elsewhere.

Connect: High-speed wireless Internet access is available in guest rooms and public areas of the hotel, including poolside.
