Luxury for Less in Miami: Travel like a celebrity on a real-world budget

See recent posts by Kelsey Blodget

"Luxury" and "value" don't have to be mutually exclusive. Sure, if you could afford it, you'd stay at The Setai in a heartbeat -- but at over $550 a night, it just might not be in the cards. But that doesn't mean you can't get pampered like an A-lister. At the Hotel Victor and the Angler's Boutique in South Beach, you'll get style and features that are comparable to those at some of Miami's priciest luxury properties. Not the same, mind you, but similar enough that -- like a really good designer knock-off -- you'll hardly be able to tell the difference.

Can't afford The Setai? Stay at The Hotel Victor

A luxury spa? Check. A trendy restaurant? Check. Inventive, mood-lit design? Check. The Hotel Victor has a lot of the same luxury draws as The Setai -- for a heck of a lot less.
