The Best Hotels in Florida

The Best Hotels in Florida
Most of the best hotels in Florida will put you right on a beach or a golf course, sometimes both. And if you're staying by the surf and there's no course on the property, the best resorts can get you to a quality one in a hurry. Whether you're organizing a conference or a family getaway, here are three Florida hotels that will satisfy the discerning guest and avid golfer alike.

The Breakers in Palm Beach

The Breakers has been a luxury destination resort for more than a century, with multiple renovations of the 140-acre property during that time. It always receives the noteworthy AAA Five Diamond Award. In addition to having a beautiful beach, the Breakers has also been named one of Tennis magazine's "top 50 tennis resorts" in the U.S. The Breakers has two golf courses -- the Ocean Course, right on site with many clinics for individuals or families, and the newer Rees Jones Course, about 10 miles away.

Mandarin Oriental, Miami

The Mandarin Oriental in Miami boasts one of top-rated spas of any resort in the U.S., and the hotel's arrangement with the nearby Crandon Park Golf Course on Key Biscayne provides guests access to one of Golf Digest's top 80 "upscale courses" in America. The Mandarin's M-Bar is one of Miami's coolest hotel bars, with giant windows that offer a great view of the city.

Naples Beach Hotel & Golf Club

If you want an all-inclusive luxury beachfront resort with a championship golf course and award-winning tennis center, then you owe it to yourself to check out the Naples Beach Hotel & Golf, a resort unique to South Florida. The golf course is the oldest in Naples, but numerous improvements through the years make it challenging enough for the experienced golfer and still fun for the weekend duffer. The Har-Tru surfaces at the tennis center are easy on the knees but allow for some great competition or just a lesson with one of the pros there.
