While every other beach property modernized, the Raleigh painstakingly restored itself to pre-War glory. It succeeded in a big way. There's a tobacco-and-dark-wood men's club ambience and old school elegance here, complemented by modern design elements and amenities. Have a swim in the stunning pool; Esther Williams used to.

Purchased in 2004 by celebrity hotelier André Balazs, who's got the Midas touch when it comes to Miami sleeps, the Raleigh is a breed apart - calm and classy, low-key and understated. The Ester Williams style pool is the best in town, no arguments - but you'll need plenty of self-confidence to bare your skin here. A downright fun and happening place to hang out all day long, the pool is a great place for dining, people-watching and listening to music. Most Deco hotels have thin walls and small rooms; that's mostly the case here. But these have a host of contemporary goodies, such as three separate phone lines, plasma TVs and high-end toiletries. Low platform beds make rolling out of bed in the morning very easy. Most rooms also have an ocean view.
