The Betsy - South Beach

First time in Miami, headed to South Beach one evening, bit of a disaster to be honest, the whole place was tacky and noisy, so not my cup of tea. Delighted to find The Betsy, really nice hotel, lovely drinks, nice live music, really mellow and upmarket. A nice change from the craziness of Ocean Drive.

Hotel was excellent if you are interested in poetry and writing. It is suitable for an older crowd. Staff are very attentive. Ac in the room didn't work properly. Housekeeping was phenomenal. Rooms were averags

My friend and I stayed at the Betsy for the second time, last week. The truth is, we planned our mini-vacay because we wanted an excuse to go back to the Betsy. The Betsy is a peaceful, elegant oasis in the midst of South Beach. The staff always go beyond expectations, I cannot stress this enough. On our first trip, Sam from L & T was wonderful and on this trip, Enrique from L & T, Evens, Paul & the women at the front desk were wonderfully accommodating. It’s really important to me to stay in hotels with great service because I have a disability and travel with significant amounts of medical equipment. My medical equipment arrived the day before I did & the Betsy received it & set it up in my room. Because of my medical needs it is difficult for me to travel and I spend significant amounts of time in hotel rooms to rest when I do. The staff at the Betsy went above and beyond to make sure the time I spent in the room was relaxing and that I had everything I needed. The Betsy has a wheel chair and is only a few blocks away from the main lifeguard station at 10th & Ocean where an electric beach wheelchair may be borrowed for free! I highly recommend this hotel for anyone with mobility issues.

My wife and I spent 4 nights at The Betsy to celebrate our anniversary. We honeymooned in Miami Beach 50 years ago. This boutique hotel is outstanding. It’s location is perfect-a the beginning of the Ocean Drive stretch with all the Restaurants and Art Deco hotels. Being at the beginning is great because it keeps you out of the craziness that is South beach. The restaurant is awesome—breakfasts are the best. Plenty of healthy options. The best part of the stay was the staff. The concierge Omar is outstanding. Really knowledgeable and oh so patient with all my questions. Donnie, who guards the front entryway and directs people coming and going, is really helpful. One of the treats was sitting on the front porch watching the sights and there are plenty of them. We travel a lot and the Betsy is at the top of our list.

The Betsy is the finest boutique hotel in Miami Beach. Hospitable hosts offer the highest quality of cultural events that match the cuisine and graciousness of the venue which features musical and literary events from around the world. Great sophistication in a relaxed atmosphere.
