Miami is one of the youngest major cities in the United States. It was born as a tourist destination, and soon became the playground for wealthy New Yorkers and New Englanders who wanted to escape the brutal winters of their hometowns
Some decided that the year-round tropical climate was more to their liking, and settled down there. Eventually immigrants from Latin America began to call Miami home, giving the city a decidedly Spanish flavor. Miami has now matured to a major center of tourism and business. Your Miami hotel may be a part of a downtown skyscraper, or a freshly painted Art Deco holdover from the 20's. Many of the hotels in Miami, of course, overlook the beaches. But whether you are downtown or up in Fort Lauderdale, you will never be far from the water.
One of the more fascinating areas of the city is South Beach. The area has retained the Art Deco styles and colors along its main thoroughfare. But you will find yourself watching more than buildings. South Beach has become a playground for rich and famous. The fashion industry never seems to be too far from SoBe, allowing its models to enjoy the beaches and nightlife between shoots. South Beach is actually just a few square blocks within the greater Miami Beach area. Much of Miami Beach is home to a large Jewish population. While in the area you may want to see the elaborate and moving Holocaust Memorial.
