Clockwise from above: Pink vibes at the Goodtime Hotel, Big Pink, and Lolita Dessert Club.

THE GOODTIME HOTEL

LOLITA DESSERT CLUB

Part bakery, part experience, this superInstagrammable spot in North Miami Beach serves up desserts and pastries—but it’s also a tearoom, offering daily tea service by reservation. Don’t miss the signature Crepe Cones in a trio of flavors: crepe brûlée, Nutella, and cheesecake. Pink power is on display in everything from Lolita’s exterior and interior to its florals, decor, bags, and sweets and beverages like pink bonbons (chocolate-covered merengue over a thin wafer base), pink raspberry macarons, pink candied donuts, and pink boba tea. “The pink is meant to give not only a playful and cute feel but also a sense of serenity,” says Becky Morel, Lolita’s general manager and event coordinator, “because who doesn’t love pink?” (lolitadessertclub.com) —Kristen Desmond LeFevre

Aesthetic pleasure takes on a new meaning at this hotel nestled along Washington Avenue in South Beach. The brainchild of superstar Pharrell Williams and hospitality guru David Grutman, the hotel channels a reimagined Art Deco vibe, visible in the details designer Ken Fulk incorporated into the property—from the leopard-print lobby to the wicker furniture on the pool deck and the pink hues that adorn almost every nook and cranny. The hotel’s mantra is to have a good time, which is easy to achieve moments after checking in. The 266 rooms and suites boast playful touches like pastel pink rotary phones and pink-and-green animal-print robes. A stunning library decked out in more animal prints, pretty pastels, and objets d’art makes for an ideal photo opp for the ‘gram. And let’s not forget about Strawberry Moon, a restaurant and 30,000-square-foot pool club that is the ultimate #SundayFunday destination, complete with Champagne showers. When not cooling off with a tasty tipple under a pink cabana, head inside for a divine spread by the culinary team, whose Mediterranean cuisine alone is reason enough to book another resy for some more good times.

BIG PINK With its bubblegum-inspired paint job, you can’t miss this pink palace on Collins Avenue in South Beach. The heavenly hued retro spot is famous for its TV dinners: daily specials served on a vintage-vibed steel tray. Slide into a pink booth to brunch on chicken and waffles or a massive plate of Nutella-laden french toast. Or stop by for a latenight bite after hitting the clubs (Big Pink is open until 5:30 a.m. on weekends) and ward off a hangover with a Double Donut Wagyu Cheeseburger, which is basically two donuts with meat patties, cheese, and bacon in between. Pro tip: No matter when you visit, save room for a slice of Big Pink’s famous seven-layer birthday cake. You can thank us later. (mylesrestaurantgroup.com/big-pink) —K.D.L.
