Hotel DOUBLETREE SURFCOMBER HOTEL

Located in the gorgeous Art Deco District, the beachfront Doubletree Surfcomber Hotel is close to Lincoln Road shopping and roaring South Beach nightlife. The hotel's beachfront features concessions for Jet Skiing, parasailing and other water sports. Nearby fitness centers offer discounted day passes for the hotel's guests. And runners, walkers and strollers will love the Miami Beach boardwalk behind the Surfcomber. A sunny, airy lobby greets guests at this casually elegant hotel from the 1940s, where original terrazzo floors are complimented by modern Deco style furniture and fresh tropical flowers. The building and beachfront location make the Surfcomber a popular spot for photo shoots. Guests may even see an MTV video or commercial filming in the outdoor pool area. The hotel features direct beach access, while freshwater fans can enjoy the Surfcomber's outdoor pool and an outdoor bar. Guests can sit by the pool and sample the Terrazos Restaurant's conch fritters, grilled mahi mahi Caesar salad, fried Florida grouper and jerk chicken. Then, they can retreat into the dimly lit Collins Bar to kick back with cocktails and appetizers. Travelers who like to mix work with play will find the Surfcomber a business friendly alternative to sterile conference hotels. A meeting room faces the outdoor heated pool and beach area, and features a patio area ideal for after meeting mingling or cocktails. The Surfcomber's 185 guestrooms are decorated with earth tone fabrics and wood furnishings. They include dual line telephones, cable TVs, Internet access, bathrobes and coffee makers. Another good thing about the Surfcomber, especially for kids: As at all Doubletrees, guests get freshly baked chocolate chip cookies upon arrival.
