The Betsy Miami Beach

Breakfast was very good and good value. The staff was fantastic. I loved getting a newspaper. I loved music at night. Good restaurant in the hotel. Loved the access to good books.

The location and overall feel of the property are awesome. Classy but hip. No extra frills but has everything you need. Steps from the beach and everything you want in SOBE. I love this hotel and have stayed here a few times now… but it’s starting to feel a little rundown. The room/bathroom was fairly clean, but both felt worn and tired. The drain in the shower wasn’t working properly and water just poured onto the bathroom floor. Bad showering is a bit of a pain.

Almost every moment was well thought through and beautiful. From evening Jazz, an impressive breakfast menu, rooftop yoga… all right at Miami Beach. I can’t think of anything, except perhaps trying to avoid the fire alarm going off in the middle of the night. Random problems are hard to control.

The room is small but nicely laid out, with good products and materials, the location is great, across the street from the beach and close to many restaurants and bars. The gym and pool(s) are also nice and there are dining and drinking options on site. I think Betsy is a good option depending on the price difference between some of the nicer competitors. For example, during my stay, I could have opted for some other options that I know are much nicer for minimally more per night.

The atmosphere and friendly staff. The king suite was beautifully decorated and spacious. Bed a bit soft but comfortable and with nice clean sheets. The humidity in the building and there should be more focus on cleaning because I still sawdust and the floor was not completely clean. I think there could be more eye for detail.

The Betsy Hotel Miami Beach has a Gym and a small courtyard pool fringed by tropical foliage. If swimming’s not on your agenda but you still want to lounge in the sun, Betsy’s rooftop lounge area, the Deck, is a great place to kick back. It’s kitted out with plush chaise longues and nooks for curling up with a cocktail or a book. Retractable sails add a somewhat clubby vibe at night, making it a good place for a pre-dinner cocktail.

For a meal to remember, BLT Steak, the steakhouse bistro of New York City fame, is just off the hotel’s lobby. South Beach’s never-say-die club scene is easily accessible on foot or by cab from the hotel, but one of Miami’s hippest hangouts happens to be in Betsy’s basement. The entrance is sort of hidden, but once you find B-Bar, with its reflective ceilings and world-class DJs commanding the turntables, you just might settle in for the night.
