South Beach
What sets the Redbury apart is its refusal to toe the line of identikit South Beach minimalist rooms. Rather, the interior here references art across the 20th century, with fun but easygoing comfort in mind (striped carpets, Italian linens and in-room record players – and albums! – available upon request).
A rooftop pool makes for some chilled-out lounging, while the lobby channels East Asian exoticism, plus there's a giant ornamental cage just outside the entrance.
