What's better than ice skating during the holidays? How about ice skating with the knowledge that the sunny beaches of Miami are waiting for you when you're finished?
Travelers escaping the cold for the balmy climes of South Florida can enjoy a little taste of winter with the Intercontinental Miami's Holiday Ice Rink. Through January 15, 2012, the full-size rink will be open at Intercontinental's Bayview Patio, which has views of Biscayne Bay.
While you don't have to stay at the Intercontinental to enjoy the rink - the ice is open from 10am-10pm daily; admission is $20/hour adults and $10/hour kids, inclusive of ice skate rental and discounted parking - you can pretend that you're in St. Moritz by taking advantage of some of the hotel's cool après-skate activities, like spa massages or a dip in the heated outdoor pool. Building on the ritzy Swiss resort theme, the grand lobby of the Intercontinental will feature through January 1, 2012, the photography exhibition "Andy Warhol: 'The Model Boy'," the inaugural installation of the Intercontinental Miami Arts Program displayed in conjunction with Art Basel Miami Beach.
For families considering a stay in Miami over the holidays, the Intercontinental is offering the Holiday Ice Rink Package, which includes ice rink passes for a family of four and tickets to the Miami Children's Museum, starting from $269 per night.
By the way, if you're planning on New Year's Eve in Miami, none other than Ludacris performs right in front of the Intercontinental as part of Downtown Miami's New Year's Eve Celebrations. Hotel rink by day, rap concert by night? Sounds to me like a well-balanced way to ring in 2012.
