Bachelorette Party Ideas #8: Miami On the Cheap: The Colony Hotel

The Colony Hotel Miami
We admit that we're partial to the Collins Avenue area of Miami that includes the W, the Ritz, the Setai, and the Delano. But we also have budgets and sometimes you've got to find a good time for less. A good example is our bestie Lauren who stayed at The Colony Hotel on Ocean Drive this spring. It's one of those iconic Art Deco South Beach hotels that sits right in the middle of all the action. The best part was that for three girls they only paid about $150 each for three nights.  Considering you can find flights from the east coast for $150, you've got a great girls' getaway or bachelorette party that won't break the bank. 

Of course not everything was perfect. Their complaints about the hotel were that there was only one small mirror in the room, which is a serious deficiency. Lauren took to putting her makeup on in the hallway.  The other problem was the "Spring Break" enthusiasts that were roaming the halls. You can figure when the price is that low, even college students will be flocking there.
