The High-Low Matchmaker: The Urban Wellness Reset
One premium sanctuary. One accessible alternative. The Standard Spa’s world-renowned hydrotherapy circuit versus a skyline day pass at Novotel Brickell — choose your own adventure, or do both.
One premium sanctuary experience. One accessible alternative. The PGM editors pair them so you can choose your own adventure — or do both to hit the ultimate weekend reset button.
The Splurge: The Ultimate Hydrotherapy Day Circuit at The Standard Spa
The Weekend Notebook & MatchmakerMid-century tropical luxury, total sensory detachment, and elite waterfront views. Dedicate an entire afternoon to The Standard Spa, Miami Beach. Your premium day pass grants access to their world-renowned, indoor-outdoor hydrotherapy playground. Move through the Turkish hamam, melt away stress in the aroma steam room, and brave the Roman waterfall cold plunge. Finish with a wellness cocktail overlooking Biscayne Bay.
Pillar: Love Miami — the perfect intimate, high-end self-care treat or romantic date-night unwind.
The Save: The Rooftop Oasis Pool & Day Pass at Novotel Brickell
The Weekend Notebook & MatchmakerSleek urban skyline views, breezy high-altitude relaxation, and casual local energy. Skip the massive price tag but keep the luxury resort amenities by booking a skyline day pass at Novotel Miami Brickell via ResortPass. Spend your afternoon lounging by the rooftop pool surrounded by towering glass skyscrapers, utilizing the modern fitness facilities, and enjoying the sun-drenched, high-altitude terrace breeze.
Pillar: Play Miami — an accessible, highly photogenic urban escape right in the heart of the financial district.
How to Do Both
The Weekend Notebook & MatchmakerWant to experience both worlds in a single weekend? Spend your Saturday morning recharging at Novotel Brickell’s rooftop to soak in the morning sun above the city grid. Then, cruise across the Venetian Causeway on Sunday afternoon to submerge yourself in The Standard’s Turkish hamam as the ultimate golden hour wind-down.
One city. Two price points. Zero excuses not to reset.
