USA - FLORIDA - MIAMI: LUXURY HOTELS CATER FOR KIDS TOO  Vacationing families in the know have always been hip to Miami’s myriad attractions. But as the city developed its image as a sophisticated tropical resort destination, trend-conscious travelers became more visible than the toddler-through-teens set. Now, with an influx of both new and expanded attractions with fresh family appeal, a new crop of luxury resorts that cater to families and the arrival of national hotel chains offering affordable family accommodations, Miami has once again reinvented itself as a fun and exciting destination for all ages and budgets.
Families can vacation in style at fivestar beachfront properties that specialize in pampering guests and their children. Pint-sized guests receive extra special attention – with perks ranging from free dining to their own little bathrobes. Ritz-Carlton has become a major presence in Miami in very short order. In no other city worldwide does the company boast three properties in such close proximity – all are ten minutes from downtown Miami. The Ritz-Carlton South Beach, in the heart of South Beach's eye-popping Art Deco District, is a showcase for Art Moderne design. Guests at the Ritz-Carlton Key Biscayne can indulge guilt-free in signature spa services, such as an Everglades Grass Body Wrap, secure in the knowledge that their youngsters are safe and happy at the Ritz Kids pool and spa. Five minutes away, the Ritz-Carlton Coconut Grove is an intimate boutique hotel (with only 115 rooms and suites) with an astonishing array of amenities that helped earn it the AAA Five-Diamond Award. Taking personal service to a new level, the hotel staff includes Bow Wow butlers to exercise, feed and provide entertainment (doggie videos, etc) for guests' pets. The Mandarin Oriental Miami garnered the coveted AAA Five Diamond Award along with its signature restaurant (5 Star) Azul. At the Mandarin Oriental Miami children are greeted with a special welcome gift, their own bathroom amenities and bathrobes and complimentary in-room DVD players and discs. Also downtown Miami, the JW Marriott Hotel Miami, a 22-story business hotel and meeting center, was designed to meet the demands of today's sophisticated traveler with 300 elegantly and ergonomically furnished rooms and a 24-hour business center. A complete resort with ten restaurants and lounges, 1,260 rooms and the Atlantic Ocean outside its windows, the Fontainebleau Resort is the biggest and perhaps the most famous hotel on Miami Beach. Stomping grounds for Elvis, Frank Sinatra and countless other swinging celebrities during its first heyday and renowned for its whimsical Morris Lapidus architecture and design, the resort opened a luxury tower and is building a second additional tower. The 349-room Renaissance Eden Roc Miami Beach Resort & Spa features a redesigned pool deck and one of Miami Beach's few beachfront restaurants. The 55,000 square foot Spa of Eden is consistently ranked among the top in the nation. With a great mix of natural wonders to explore, fun-filled tourist attractions to discover amidst Miami’s unique multicultural vibe and the always-present lure of beach, ocean and bay, Miami spoils families with a multitude of choices. When quality family bonding gets to be a little too intense, guests at Miami’s top resorts can take advantage of programs designed to give families a break from each other. At the Loews Miami Beach, a massive free form pool and easy beach access are the primary lures, but the Loews Loves Kids program brings it up a notch with welcome gifts for children under ten, supervised recreational programs, lending game libraries and special children’s menus. Miami’s Marriott's Doral Golf Resort and Spa has been the site for great family getaways for over 40 years and offers Camp Doral, a full fledged daily program that will occupy the most tireless of rugrats. There’s plenty to enjoy together as well – from tennis to the water slide at the Blue Lagoon Water Park to just lounging around. Renaissance Eden Roc Miami Beach Resort & Spa, the Fontainebleau Resort, the Loews Miami Beach, among others, offer children’s camps or special programming designed to appeal to families For budget conscious families, Miami is one of the world’s best-kept secrets for affordable accommodations. Summer temperatures are moderate, while hotel and motel rates drop as much as 50 percent. Meanwhile, large hotel chains including Marriott, Holiday Inn, Best Western and others offer affordable accommodations year round – many with built in kitchens for cooking on a budget – in locations that are convenient to beaches and tourist attractions.
