South Florida, especially glitzy Miami Beach, is definitely the place to see and be seen. With the 2007 opening date still to be determined, The Regent Bal Harbour is one of the newest—and Bal Harbour Village in Miami's first—very high-end hotel gracing the shores of Miami Beach. At the northernmost tip of the beach, the hotel is steps from the popular, upscale shopping mecca, the Bal Harbour Shops. 
The Presidential Suite is the most lavish of the hotel's offerings; it features a grand piano and private butler service (all rooms are bookable on the GDS except the Presidential Suite). Each of the 124 rooms and executive suites has a view of the Haulover Inlet to watch the yachts coming in and out of the marina; there are panoramic vistas from the suites on the 10th-17th floors. For the best enjoyment of the sunset, reserve a room on the west side of the building.
