South Beach, the flashy focal point of Miami, has no shortage of luxury boutique hotels. Of course, some swanky digs charge a lot more per night than others -- an unsafe move at this time of year, when the big tourist crowds are in scarce supply. That’s why we’ve scoured the hotel scene to find deals at a few posh properties willing to dramatically under-value their appeal. That’s good news for savvy fringe season travelers looking to score a superb stay on the cheap, before Miami’s summertime swamp weather sets in.
