Tabitha Simmons – 1 Hotel South Beach, Miami

Miami does lobbies like nowhere else, and 1 Hotel South Beach is no exception. An expansive space of white and wood, with huge windows and big squishy sofas, it hums with conversation and beautiful people. But the things I love most about it, which surprised me the first time I visited, is that it's actually all sustainable.

The reception desk is made from an old oak tree, and there's a wall that from a distance looks like artwork – a gigantic mural of a swimmer – but when you get closer you see that it's really moss. Off to one side is a juice bar to pick up that green cleanse on the way back from SoulCycle next door. Waiting outside is a fleet of Tesla electric cars to whizz silently around town.
