There are some things that only South Beach can have. The Betsy - South Beach is one of them. This boutique hotel in Miami Beach lives up to its exclusive Ocean Drive address with 61 gorgeous rooms and suites. Heralded in the media - from Marie Claire to Condé Nast - The Betsy is a historic building that to this day maintains its original Georgian design amidst Art Deco surroundings. Beach-inspired and brilliant, the sophisticated interiors feature wooden shutters, chandeliers, and terrazzo flooring, all accented by relics from far-away lands. Your room, with its white lacquered furniture and hardwood floors, offers an ambiance created for relaxation. Modern bathrooms with spacious walk-in showers are a highlight of your haven, while in-room libraries, original artwork, and contemporary electronic connections provoke pleasant thought. Grab a beverage from your mini bar, pull the curtains, and let the South Florida sunshine - and the charm of The Betsy - wash over you.

Me and my family had a great time at this hotel! The food was spectacular and there was a restaurant inside the hotel that we particularly enjoyed. The library was quiet and was a nice spot to sit and read. The pool was really nice and they had some refreshing drinks up at the bar there as well. Overall this was a really nice experience and the beach was very sandy and super pretty. Be sure to pack sunscreen! Fritz was great with the kids and he helped us carry our luggage which was much appreciated

The Betsy Ross restaurant is wonderful. Had both a dinner and a breakfast there. Joanny was a friendly and fast server. She did a great job. Highly recommend their ‘ancient oats’ for breakfast and their dinners come w homemade popovers. Delicious

The service and ambiance was amazing! The octopus and shrimp cocktail were very good. Carmen and Genevieve were excellent and attentive bartenders- have the strawberry caprinha! We went when there was a pianist live and it made for an elegant evening! Perfect key lime birthday dessert too.

Our recent stay at the Betsy Hotel in Miami Beach was nothing short of incredible. What truly sets this place apart is the staff—they are exceptional in every sense. Adrian, Josh, Evan,Fritz, Juan, Robert, Cecilia (and so many others) made us feel genuinely cared for from the moment we arrived. By the time we left, we were hugging the team and honestly fighting back tears—it felt like leaving family. The property itself is beautiful and full of charm. The main bar welcomes you like you’ve just walked into someone’s stunning home, and it quickly becomes a place you want to linger. The front patio overlooking Ocean Drive is perfect for people-watching, and the beach is just steps away across the street. The rooftop pool is also a highlight—peaceful, well-kept, and a great place to unwind. A few helpful notes for future guests: the beach setup doesn’t include a bar, so if you’re envisioning full beachside cocktail service, this may not be the spot. The rooftop pool, while lovely, is on the smaller side and could benefit from a bit more staffing during busy weekends. It’s fairly no-frills, but still does the job well. The rooms are comfortable and thoughtfully designed. Given the building’s age, you may hear some hallway noise or footsteps from above, but for us, that was a small tradeoff for the character and warmth of the space. Between the live music, the incredible soundtrack throughout the hotel, and the many dogs roaming around, the atmosphere is vibrant, welcoming, and completely unique. This was the perfect long weekend escape, and we cannot wait to return.

Here’s a cleaner, polished version that keeps your tone but tightens it up: Our stay at Betsy Hotel was exceptional. We loved the charm, the location, and all the amenities. Our teenagers had the freedom to explore, and my son—an avid soccer fan—spent time at the bar watching a game, looked after by Fritz and Juan (fellow fans), which gave us real peace of mind. Communication was seamless, and we were even able to check in early thanks to availability. The kindness and attentiveness of the staff truly stood out. Please see pictures of the establishment. Quaint. Charming. Purposeful . After a few trips to Miami trying different hotels, we’ve officially found our favorite—and we’ll absolutely be back. See you next time, Fritz and Juan, and a heartfelt thank you from all of us!
