Good Sense
If your house is overflowing with guests, this chic, 18-room boutique hotel is just the place to park them. Rebranded as Sense Beach House, its vibe is more Hamptons than Miami minimal - think reclaimed wood floors, soft blues and cozy nooks. For such a small property, the new owner crams in a lot through six distinct areas. Instead of a lobby, guests enter the parlor as if they're staying with friends. Dubbed the Local House, the adjoining dining room with breezy veranda features a farm-to-table menu and raw bar. Lamb sliders, seafood risotto and stuffed dates are served for dinner, while brunch offers endless mimosas and multiple variations of eggs Benedict. Ping pong and a rooftop pool add to its homey appeal.

Miami City Ballet patrons have a big treat in store this weekend. Program III: The Masters stages new work by coveted choreographer Alexei Ratmansky commissioned specifically for the company. The New Yorker described American Ballet Theatre's artist-in-residence as "the man who is remaking ballet." His Symphonic Dances set to Sergei Rachmaninoff's eponymous score stages fast-paced steps for high drama. They mirror the turbulence of the composer's final great piece rather than follow a classic story line. It will be shown with a trio of George Balanchine works (like her predecessor Edward Villella, new artistic director Lourdes Lopez was a former New York City Ballet principal under the master).

There's still time to check out the Miami International Film Festival's 30th anniversary lineup. A good place to start is the Olympia Theater at the Gusman Center for the Performing Arts. Tonight it screens Eenie Meenie Miney Moe from the same team behind MIFF's 2011 smash hit Magic City Memoirs. Friday schedules The Artist and the Model, a Spanish entry from Fernando Trueba, a long-time MIFF participant who receives a career achievement tribute this year. His Belle Epoque from 1994 shows Saturday at the Tower Theater. Back at the Gusman, catch Venus and Serena, an intimate documentary that captures the tennis champions and sisters during one of their most trying times. Dozens of films are playing at more theaters all over town.

South Beach's loss is the Miami Design District's gain. Design Within Reach relocated to its largest showroom in Florida, a flagship no less. This means midcentury modern and contemporary design buffs can get their mitts on 100 products previously unrepresented in the state. Classic pieces by Herman Miller, Hans Wegner and Carl Hansen are showcased along with a dedicated area for Jens Risom's vibrant works as he originally intended them. New and iconic pendant fixtures hang in the floating Light Cloud, while clients may customize orders with a 3D Room Planner, as well as a wall of 500 upholstery tiles. Dining room collections display up to 10 chair options each, and being Miami, there's an expanded outdoor section.
