Room Service

Welcome to this month’s Room Service where The Fashion Poet and I take you on a tour of one of Miami’s most fashionable hotels: Acqualina Resort & Spa. Nestled on 4 1/2 acres in Sunny Isles this oceanfront hotel also doubles up as residences. In fact, 188 of the rooms are residences and the other 98 are guest rooms and suites. If you’re looking for a hotel that feels right at home and is away from the South Beach scene, then you need to check in here. Wait it gets better… The Acqualina Spa By ESPA is also located within the hotel and they are renowned for having some of the best spa treatments. I got to try the ESPA ultimate anti-aging facial. Jennifer Lopez and Madonna are big fans of this treatment.

We stayed in a one-bedroom suite, which also had a den that featured a convertible twin size bed. We felt right at home since it was so spacious it felt like a home. The room totals 1430 sq. feet and comes with an oceanfront view terrace. The view was amazing; I truly enjoyed the sunset. That is my favorite time light of the day being that I’m a photographer. The room has a giant livingroom space, two flat-screen TVs, gourmet kitchen stocked with Sub-Zero built-in refrigerator/freezer so you can prepare home cooked meals, designer granite countertops, Italian limited-edition cabinets, a microwave and dishwasher. In the bathroom there’s a Jacuzzi whirlpool tub which I got to enjoy this time minus the bubble bath, glass-enclosed shower, marble flooring, double sinks and a custom vanity area. I enjoyed my stay here and would definitely come back.
