Angler's Boutique Resort

We've been homeless in Miami for too long! Ever seeking the right place for us, my search is over (phew!). The Angler's Boutique Resort is everything I've been looking for: it's charming and competent, it's stylish, but not snobby. It feels like a resort, but is ready for business (though you might not be after you see the pool, the cabanas, the restaurant…).

With the full array of technology (WiFi, plasma TVs, iPod docking stations…) and comfort (lush gardens, spa/gym, fine linens, nice soap), we've finally arrived.

Did I mention it's two blocks from the ocean?

Epic Hotel
270 Biscayne Blvd.
Miami, FL  33131
(305) 424-5226

After years of toggling between South Beach intimacy and funk and mainland accessibility, I've decided that less isn't always more and that Epic is sometimes even better! So, this time, you decide.

With the recent opening of Kimpton's stunning new tower overlooking sparkling Biscayne Bay, we don't have to descend into Chain-ville to take in the views, splash around the pools (!) or situate ourselves perfectly for business (with multiple meeting rooms, a 24-hr. biz center, ergo work areas…). Close to downtown, but a world apart, the Epic can be a vertical resort and spa, if you have the time.

Too busy? The Epic is still a dreamy place to work from, competent and stylish. Next time, just plot an extra day (I won't tell your boss!).
