Claimed as [Miami Beach's hottest resort](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shelborne-by-proper), the Lords South Beach is a venue for any fashion or design buff.

The bright and bold interiors of the space combine [sleek, '70s-inspired design elements](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wave-house-1) along with lighthearted and playful accessories. These elements give the interior space an overall bohemian vibe. The hotel's many ornate rooms are filled with brightly colored furniture pieces along with graphic wallpaper and bold patterned textiles. The walls of the hotel are adorned with giant pop-art-inspired prints of Liz Taylor, Debby Harry and other cultural icons. A statue of a giant polar bear holding a beach ball adds a definite focal point to this [bohemian lobby space](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/beach-clubs).

Though prone to judgement for it's abundant use of embellishment, the Lords South Beach is both playful and stylish.
