Basketball star LeBron James isn't the only hot commodity in Miami. Downtown is reinventing itself, with new hotels and restaurants (good news for those embarking at the top cruise port). South Beach lodgings keep upgrading. And a warehouse district has morphed into an art destination. USA TODAY's Kitty Bean Yancey samples new attractions.

Downtown is back from dead
The once dismal city core, known for its port and scary-after-dark streets, is coming alive with condos, hotels and star-chef eateries — though the homeless still camp on sidewalks blocks from luxury hotels. The just-opened, 313-room JW Marriott Marquis— the most cutting-edge in the JW chain — boasts a minimalist white marble lobby, spacious rooms with floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking Biscayne Bay, espresso makers, TV that plays on bathroom mirrors and an indoor basketball court used by guests and pros. Rates start at around $450 this time of year. The Marquis also houses the even more luxe Hotel Beaux Arts, with 44 rooms and suites. The complex includes an already sought-after Miami table: Daniel Boulud's db Bistro Moderne, with a $32 hamburger stuffed with short rib and foie gras. Information: 888-717-8850; jwmarriottmarquismiami.com.
