Opulence in Miami..The Fairmont Turnberry Isle Resort and Club

The city of Miami is a bastion of fun, sun and play. Why not stay at the best hotel you can while visiting. Obvously the argument of what "Miami Hotel" is the best is very subjective. Well this is my blog and today I'll make the call. My feature spotlight hotel of the day is the Fairmont Turnberry Isle Resort and Club. The property is located at 19999 West Country Club Drive in Miami Florida, of course. Here's a handy link to a map provided by google.  A link to the official site of the FairmontTurnberry Isle Resort and Club can be found at the link provided.


This is flat out one incredible hotel. No if, ands or buts. No arguments on this either !!!! The Fairmont Turnberry Isle Resort and Club had recently undergone a $150 Million renovation. The property is a destination and attraction in an of itself. Guests to The Fairmont Turnberry have it all at the fingertips. The skinny is very simple. Guests will find opulence in any of the 392 guest suites, have access to a state of the art spa and fitness center, can romp and play in three different pools, one of which even has a waterslide, have access to two great 18-hole Golf Courses, can find some of the best dining in the word and for the business traveler services that rival any convention center. As such, with so much to discuss, I'd like to break up these areas of interest into seperate discussions.

Obviously the hotel is a great place to start this discussion and I'm sure to most of you out there accommodations on where you're staying is probably one of the most paramount things you value on staying at a hotel.  And let's get this out of the way..This isn't just my opinion,  the official Zagat Hotel, Resort and Spa Guide bestowed on the distinction on the Fairmont Turnberry as the "Best in the South".  So my opinion on this place is just icing Darn it !!!. Like I said above, the hotel has 392 total rooms and suites. When I spoke with a worker there he gave me a "company" answer that the rooms are a mix of a classic Mediteranean decor with a modern flair. I guess that kind of gives the idea. Imagine being on the Mediterranean with the large windows and palm trees as a warm summer breeze passes buy. Big cushy beds and furntiture that is set in natural tones. Each guest enjoys a flat screen television for entertainment. Then the bathrooms !!! Whew!!! One of my favorite spaces in a guest suite of a high end hotel no doubt. The Farimont Turnberry Isle Resort and Club does not dissapoint. Glass enclosed showers and large sit in soaking tubs. Wow, relaxation at it's finest. Let's not forget though that this hotel is also a perfect fit for the business traveler. Each room offers spacious work desks and is of course equipped with the latest and greatest connections to the internet, not to mention three telephones each having dual line capability and also voice mail
service.
