ONE Bal Harbour: The Name Says It All

As hotels strive to reach number one status, ONE Bal Harbour was born with the title. And this superior property is not ONE in name alone. From the minute you come up the driveway you realize you have arrived at a special place. The five star, 18-story, 124-room resort promises the best and delivers beyond expectations.
Let’s start with the lobby and its privately commissioned $4 million art collection. Everywhere you turn you see ONE of a kind paintings, sculptures and priceless works of art.
Continue walking and discover the restaurant and bar with wraparound windows of the ocean at your feet. Explore a little further and you get a glimpse of the poolside garden café and an inviting swimming pool with private cabanas. The fitness center beckons and a rejuvenating 10,000-square-foot waterfront spa promises to transport you to nirvana.
Step outside and the fresh ocean air envelopes your being as you stroll the landscaped gardens until you reach the private 750 feet of golden sand where the infinite Atlantic Ocean meets the Intracoastal Waterway.
And you haven’t even reached your suite yet!
Now take the semi-private elevator to your Deluxe Suite with 510 square feet of space and 72 square feet of terrace (61 of these) or your Executive Suite with 1,147 square feet of space and 280 square feet of terrace (60 of these). Or you may be lucky enough and stay in one of the 2 Grand Suites with 1,657 square feet of space and 350 square feet terraces or better yet, the Presidential Suite with 2,800 square feet of space plus four terraces, a private theatre, and media room. Regardless of your room, there will only be one or two suites per floor and all will have spectacular 180° panoramic views over the Atlantic Ocean and the Intracoastal Waterway and a large terrace.
The elegant décor of dark mahogany wood, granite stone counters, leather accents and custom artwork is sure to relax you and make for perfect undisturbed sleep; and the round-the-clock butler service guarantees that all your needs will be met.
