At $1,099 per night, without a doubt, this St. Regis Bal Harbour hotel room is the most expensive hotel room I have ever stayed the night. And I am in the standard room. I tried using SPG suite upgrades, but apparently they are not allowed at this hotel.
I did not pay the $1,099 rate myself. The room here is a complimentary benefit of being a 2012 SPG Amex Star blogger for a free taste of Miami luxury.
You can stay here too for two free nights if you are the winner of 60,000 Starpoints from Loyalty Traveler courtesy of SPG American Express.
Although, I see next year the St. Regis Bal Harbour will have SPG peak season category 7 rates at 35,000 points per night from Dec 26, 2013 through Jan 4, 2014.
St. Regis Bal Harbour where every guest room has an Atlantic Ocean view.
How does every room have an ocean view?
There are no rooms on the west-facing sides of the hotel.
St. Regis Bal Harbour hotel is center building with two windowless walls viewed from Collins Avenue. The St. Regis residences are the left and right towers flanking the hotel building.
I will describe the hotel and room in separate blog posts.
