While Andre Balazs’ third Standard maintains the brand’s budget-chic philosophy, it has features that set it a notch above its L.A. siblings, like its recluse location and communal bathhouse-esque spa.

Situated on the charming, mostly residential Belle Island, The Standard is perfect for those who might want the action of South Beach (there’s a free shuttle bus to the Raleigh on the hour) but don’t want to be bothered with drunken hoots and hollers at all hours of the night. This good night’s sleep complements the hotels South Beach Diet feel, complete with the chic Mediterranean restaurant, Lido, that features a health-focused menu and buzzing bar.

Rooms are modest with smart Scandinavian-esque white and blond wood furniture. Note: Children under 14 are not permitted on the property. Need we say more?
