Dear Imagine Lifestyles,
I will be coming to South Beach soon for a business trip, and assume I will be left to my own devices often. I am free to stay where I please and would really like a luxury accommodation with a concierge who is knowledgeable of Miami. I feel that the last time I visited I missed out on much of what Miami has to offer. Do you have any suggestions?
Thanks,
Mark, Sacramento, CA

The infamously tacky cast of “Jersey Shore” is being transplanted to chic Miami for season 2. Yes, the self-proclaimed “Guidos/Guidettes” will be touting their self-centered, trashy idea of sophistication that so many have come to adore on our beach lines. And will the world ever be watching! The question i
s, will Miami accept the cast?
That is the thing about Reality TV, the more outrageous, the more people want, and then it must continue to become more shocking to please the audience. And this theory is no different when it comes to the cast of Jersey Shore.

Dear Imagine Lifestyles,
I will be coming to Miami and South Beach for a business trip soon, and I am interested in locating a luxury hotel in South Beach that is near all of the restaurants, bars and beaches, yet quiet and understated. It is important that I have a quiet place to unwind and work during the week, without all of the noise and fuss that make South Beach so much fun. Where do you suggest I stay?
Thanks,
Alan, New York

Dear Imagine Lifestyles,
I am a fan of your website and blog. I have been following your stuff for almost a year, thanks for the information and entertainment. There is one issue that I have not seen covered in your blog, and that is Miami during the summer.
I have been told that it is too hot to take a trip to Miami in the summer, and was curious about your take on that advice. It would seem that the hotter the better with the Ocean and luxury hotel pools to soak in. I am overdue for a mini-vacation, and was contemplating a quick trip to Miami to rejuvenate. Let me know your thoughts on the matter.
Thanks,
Peter, New York

Dear Imagine Lifestyles,
I am a regular reader of your luxury blog, and of course an exotic car buff. I am writing to you because I am planning to surprise my wife and two young children with a trip to Miami.
I have to come down on business anyway, so I thought it would be a nice surprise to yank them out of the New York snow for a week. My question is, which luxury hotel is best for my situation?
I have stayed at the W Hotel South Beach before, but am wondering if you have any other suggestions for those traveling with small children? Your help will be appreciated!
Thanks guys,
Charles, New York, NY
