sick of the monolith hotels that cater to hollywood celebs? avoid the drama at the recently opened angler boutique resort.

the angler boasts four building units, two of which were renovated from historic art deco buildings. the spot puts the swank back in SoBe, and it's not just for the super comf accommodations and aveda prods. think, your own private valhalla. the taupe and ivory palette, along with woven and wood accents, give the interior a mod global appeal. suites offer private rooftops, gardens and outdoor spa baths. plus, the beach is just two blocks away. but why leave the grounds when the hotel already includes its own private gym, spa and pool? take a dip then take in the view from the sidewalk café or the in-house resto, maison d'azur.

it's the closest to the mediterranean you'll get without a passport.
