Pros
- Huge, sleek set of pools
- Direct beach access
- Sleek art deco look throughout rooms and common areas
- 24-hour concierge
- Great fitness center on site with yoga classes
- Great restaurant on site
Bottom Line
A moderately priced designer hotel on posh upper Collins Avenue, the National boasts one of the largest, sleekest pools in Miami. Small rooms, though, and relaxed, haphazard service doesn't contend with its super-chic neighbors, the Delano and Sagamore hotels, but a 2013 revamp to exterior and common spaces did help.

Oyster Awards
Location
A prime party spot beside the big hotels, with plenty of restaurants, bars, and shops nearby.
On the beach, right beside the super-chic big wigs -- the Delano, the Shore Club, the Sagamore, and so on. Great (expensive) food, shopping, and drinking are ample on Collins Avenue and Lincoln Road, but I took more advantage of the 24-hour Walgreen's on the corner.
Rooms
Rooms, which were renovated in 2013, have a open feel with white walls and dark wood furniture. Best of all are the elegant art deco touches thoughout, like dark wood antique-style desks between black and white photos, and retro-style modern technologies that include roman column phones and vintage side table lamps.
- Big, luxurious plush beds
- Large wall-mounted flat-screen TVs with pay-per-view and cable
- Alarm clock and CD player
- Wi-Fi, for a fee
- 24-hour room service
- Terrycloth robe and slippers
- Work desks
- Hotel brand amenities
- Roman column phones with touchpad
Features
The pool scene is beautiful and relaxed. There's also a modern gym with yoga classes.
- Two pools were beautiful -- a bright "Leisure pool" and the big boy, a 205-feet "Infinity pool" set inside a deeply shaded palm tree garden
- Fitness room was large and had modern equipment, with morning yoga classes available throughout the week
- In-room spa treatments area available
- Poolside drink service
- 24-hour concierge
