There’s no place like Miami. JR and I have a home in Miami Beach because it’s a city like no other. It feels like a Caribbean getaway without ever having to leave the U.S. And, as many people already know, it’s a bit of a celebrity hotspot. Sometimes, all it takes is a 24 hour layover in Miami to have a great time. Curious about where everyone is partying it up these days? Read ahead for an insider look at some of the hottest spots in Miami.
LAYOVER FUN: 24 HOURS IN MIAMI
Stay
1 Hotel and Homes South Beach
Lay pool or beach side at 1 Hotel and Homes South Beach with unparalleled views of the Atlantic Ocean, Miami’s nature paradise Biscayne Bay and Downtown Miami’s ever-expanding skyline. A six-month prego Chrissy Teigen and Sport Illustrated models Gigi Hadid, Nina Agdal, and Lily Aldrige luxuriated at the all “green” hotel during the issue’s last cover launch.
Brunch
Bagatelle Miami Beach
Get your day started with a French wake-up call in the form of Bagatelle’s famous brunch by Chef Matthieu Godard,formerly of Daniel. Most recently, the cast of The Real Housewies of New York were spotted shooting an episode of the reality hit show as their stars Bethenny Frankel and Ramona Singer danced on chairs and in the DJ booth.
Sunset Happy Hour and Dinner
Seaspice
Needing a little sunset scenery after the raucaus brunch? Head to Seaspice – the gorgeous riverside brasserie overlooking the Miami skyline – and dine on Mediteranean and fresh crudo and hotstone dishes by Executive Chefs Angel Leon and Benjamin Goldman. Jay Z and Beyoncé broke their vegan fast here when the restaurant opened ( yes, there is Lemonade on the menu) and David Beckham had multiple visits with the partners he’s planning on opening a Miami soccer stadium and team with.
Dance
WALL
Leonardo Dicaprio may want to thank WALL in his next acceptance speech for the good times over the years. Recently celebrating its 7th anniversary, WALL is currently the longest running lounge on South Beach. Its intimate mixture of models, celebs and locals is what appeals to other visiting celebs including Jennifer Lopez, George Clooney, and surprise DJ sets with Jamie Foxx, to name a few.
