The Sagamore puts the “art” in Art Deco—original works of art adorn each of this South Beach boutique hotel’s 93 guest rooms. If you must tear yourself away from the fun and excess that can only be found on the streets, clubs and beaches of South Beach, you can indulge in one of America’s different white castles. The Sagmore has left Miami’s famous pastel colour palate out of this hotel. Instead, you’ll find a stark white wonderland—whether you’re poolside, in one of the hotel’s many restaurants or terraces and even the lobby. Billing itself as an art hotel for the sophisticated traveller, this crisp, sparkly enclave is a great escape from the 24-hour insanity that is South Beach.

Rooms start at US$385.
