Which hotel in SoBe??

My son (14) and I will be in South Beach for 6 days in August. I am looking at the Clinton and the Astor. Any advice which might be nicer? A couple of years ago we stayed at The Hotel and loved it but rates are a little too high this time. May be a different hotel? Park Central? Your advice highly appreciated.

The thing about the Astor is that you get to use the rooftop

pool at the Strand overlooking the beach and Ocean Drive

as well as the beach service in front of the Strand(chaise

lounges and an umbrella(sun is very strong in Augest).

Thank you for your advice on the Astor. It sounds like a good bet. There%26#39;s also The Strand itself, which I might be able to get via GTAhotels for a decent rate. I am in such a muddle, I don%26#39;t know where to stay and I know that the wrong choice can break the holiday.

To Irish Dave: I loved The Hotel. The rooms are lovely and comfortable, the roof pool is also lovely, though small, more like a plunge pool, but wonderful to have it. All very Zen, but with an elegant sphere. They also have chairs and towels for the beach, which is a blessing. The location is great, the view from the windows not fab, but good enough. All in all, I would stay there again if the rates had not gone up so much.

So: what do I do? Clinton? Astor? The Strand? Park Central?

More advice please.

Many thanks to you all.

Casting votes for The Strand or the Park Central - wherever you get the best deal!

Both are beach facing - which is lovely.

Recently stayed at both the Strand and Park Central which was

good, but prefer the Strand if you get upgraded(which they

frequently do) to a junior suite. The Strand is newer and has larger

rooms with balconies.
