Miami Beach's First Hotel |
112 Ocean Dr Miami, FL 33139 United States +1 305 674 7977 http://www.thebrownshotel.com |
If you are yearning for opulence and splendour, this is definitely not the place. This two-story building was built in 1915. The building was reconstructed and these days, most of it is devoted to Prime 112, a steakhouse. The hotel does not have an ocean view and its second-floor has only nine rooms. On the otherhand, the steakhouse serves almost 500 dinners a night. Oddly enough, it is easier to book a room at the hotel than a table at Prime 112! Review © 2007, Wcities |
