Sunny Isles Beach, Fla.

Just north of Miami Beach is a quieter, posh oceanfront enclave that quickly is building cred as a meetings destination. Sunny Isles Beach, aka "Florida's Riviera," promises restaurants, shopping and attractions, plus two international airports (Miami and Fort Lauderdale) within a 30-minute drive.

The Trump Inter­na­tional Beach Resort opened here in 2003 with 390 spacious rooms and suites and 22,000 square feet of meeting space, ideal for groups of up to 300. The hotel offers free shuttles to South Beach (a half-hour away) as well as to the chic Bal Harbour Shops (five minutes) for those who wish to explore.
