Just a short walk from South Beach, the Victor Thompson Hotel is still one of Miami’s trendiest hotels and sits in prime location for shoppers, foodies, spa-goers, and sun seekers. The hotel has only 88 suites and rooms, making it a great choice for privacy or a weekend retreat if you prefer a more intimate setting. I stopped by this property on a recent trip to Miami and had the opportunity to enjoy a light dinner at Victor Café. The restaurant offers seating right on Ocean Drive and has become a popular destination for local and business tourists.
