The Ritz-Carlton Bal Harbour, Miami  

On the northern tip of Miami Beach in Bal Harbour, a refined oceanfront escape steps away from quiet beaches, upscale shopping and a lively local arts scene. Minutes from South Beach and downtown Miami, this luxury Bal Harbour hotel is ideal for family-friendly and pet-friendly getaways.

Boutique-style lodging with an intimate layout and private furnished terraces or ocean-view balconies. Rooms and suites spotlight freestanding soaking tubs framed by floor-to-ceiling windows; select suites include full gourmet kitchens. Simple, modern décor lets the water views do the talking.

Full-service spa offering massages, body treatments and facials, plus sauna and spa tub for total unwind. Multiple pools (indoor and outdoor), a fitness center with yoga space and a diving club keep activity levels high. Concierge, a complimentary shopping shuttle, wedding and banquet facilities, a poolside bar and a kids’ playroom round out the stay—wake up to sea-breeze mornings and step straight to the sand.

Conference and meeting rooms with a 24-hour business center support events and small meetings. Fast complimentary wired and wireless internet (high-speed), AV support, limo/town-car service and express check-in make work on the move straightforward.

Two on-site restaurants, including Artisan Beach House serving international cuisine, plus a poolside bar and lounge for sunset cocktails. Room service is available during limited hours and cooked-to-order breakfasts are served daily from 7:00–11:30 AM for a fee.
