Miami Surprise!

I was pleased to see a review of the Angler's in the Sunday Times. Having stayed at the Hotel during Miami Art Basel, I found myself in the enviable position of being able to compare my own impressions with the reviewer. And much to my astonishment, I found that I pretty much agreed with the positive tone of the piece. I missed not having a bigger pool, but enjoyed being on the low end of Washington Avenue, far enough away from the madness of Collins and Ocean Drive, but close enough to plunge into the scene if I had a mind to. The hotel, as noted, hearkens back to the early days of the new South Beach when the process of turning the old, dilapidated hotels had just begun. Before the arrival of the mega hotels that now litter the landscape. Only the prices have spiked considerably. Which is no small thing.
