Here are five divinely diverse hotels you should consider for your Florida vacation:

The Villa Casuarina

Italian designer Gianni Versace's former mansion has been reincarnated as the The Villa Casuarina, and the mosaic and fountain-studded interior feels like something straight out of Moorish fantasy. You're right on Ocean Drive here, a stone's throw from Florida's most-beautiful-people-ever beach, but the hotel's atmosphere could not feel more deliciously far flung.

Postcard Inn on the Beach

Surfer chic meets bohemian-inspired elegance at this trendsetting hotel in St. Pete Beach. There's something European in the minimalist retro decor and down-filled duvets that billow crispy white on the beds, but surf-inspired touches everywhere stay true to the hotel's true-blue Florida roots.

Hyatt Regency Clearwater Beach Resort & Spa

Every room here is a suite, with full kitchen facilities and a balcony. All the better to settle in for a while and enjoy Clearwater Beach's revitalized Beach Walk promenade, just out the front the door, and the nearby sugar sand beaches on Caladesi Island State Park.

The Boca Raton

If it's been a while since you've been here, it's high time to get back. The Boca Raton recently gave rise to a style child in the form of its oceanfront property, the Beach Club. Minimalist decor, sleek infinity pools and a direct oceanfront setting will ensure you never want to check out.

Cadillac Hotel & Beach Club

Notable for hosting old Hollywood's finest, this award-winning, Art-Deco-inspired hotel is tranquil and sophisticated. It embraces the essence of the European Riviera with flawless cordiality, juicy coastline fare, and made-to-please concierge services. Located on the glorious sands of Miami Beach, the resort invites you to discover the city with the hotel’s signature seaplane adventure, yacht charter or private walking tour.

 

Have a fabulous time in Florida, wherever you find yourself!
