sipping cocktails by the pool.

and if there were a particular hotel where i'd like to be sipping those cocktails...
today, it would be here:

the raleigh hotel in south beach.

it was built in the 40's, and they knew how to make em post war.

this pool makes me week in my rococo/miami art deco-loving knees.

can't you picture the rat pack having a gin martini here back in the day? i can.

and they probably did.


so very old school cool.

and you know i am lover of all things cabana stripe. it's small, but check out the loungers below.
beauty.

and i'll stay here, please. the penthouse.

even their logo is awesome.

miami, here i come.

now who's coming with?
