The Catalina Hotel: South Beach’s Mecca of Cheap Chic

There are two ways to get treated like a Diva: throw around tons of cash, or be in the know. Fortunately, as a Social Diva subscriber, you don’t have to max out your Mastercard to get the royal treatment. Here’s our latest hot tip: Hit the Catalina Hotel & Beach Club. It’s the hottest boutique hotel in South Beach, without the gargantuan price tag.

The Catalina is just across the street from the ocean and only a block away from famous Lincoln Road. It has three bars and lounges, two rooftop pools, plus cabanas on the beach. They also hook you up with VIP passes to all of South Beach’s best clubs, and free happy hour cocktails to kick your evenings off in style. If you party too hard and want to veg out in your room, you’ll have a flat screen TV, iPod sound system, Italian Mascioni sheets, goose-down comforters, Tempur-pedic mattresses, comfy bathrobes and wireless internet. And, of course, a fully-stocked minibar.

Mention Social Diva and get a complimentary Diva-tini at check-in and a $20 gift certificate per person for one of their two fab restaurants, Kung Fu or Maxine.

The Catalina is the mecca of cheap-chic, so whether you’re trying to escape the cold, plan a hot Valentine’s Day weekend with your guy, or just blow off some steam with the girls, you’ll be able to do it in style and within budget.

P.S. — You don’t even have to pony up cab fare from the airport. The Catalina has a free airport shuttle from Miami International.
