The Howard Johnson Plaza Hotel Dezerland Beach and Spa is located directly on the ocean, at the north end of Miami Beach, only a mile from Bal Harbour. This is truly a unique, one-of-a-kind hotel. Where else can you eat inside a classic car, or enjoy 18-holes of miniature golf next to an oceanfront swimming pool? When guests step outside to the pool, they'll find a poolside bar, and large poolside umbrellas as well as the miniature golf course. The newest addition to the Howard Johnson Plaza Hotel is the swank, European inspired, Nirvana Spa. A world-class wellness and spa facility, the Nirvana Spa offers over 20 varieties of massage therapy, a beauty salon, personal training and extensive facilities and treatments. Guests, who are content just to jog, will find the adjacent North Beach Park the ideal location to exercise in the ocean breeze.

The resort has a distinctly themed lobby, with a fine collection of 50's and 60's memorabilia. The nostalgic theme extends to the American Classic restaurant, where vintage cars have been converted into table areas, for an amazing dining experience. The guest rooms are bright, pleasantly decorated and feature tile floors. Guests are also offered complimentary shuttle service to South Beach, Bal Harbour Shops, and Aventura Mall. For great amenities and value on the beach, consider the Howard Johnson Plaza Hotel Dezerland Beach and Spa.
