The Betsy - South Beach

It's the second time a come to this hotel for a Spa day with my Mom. It has been a wonderful gift from my husband... first was awesome but this second time has been fantastic! Thank you for the warm reception and beautiful time post massage.

Fantastic view! Hotel with heart and history. Helpfull staff. Nice roms. Clean. Good food and nice Bar. Fitness and pools. You can easelie stay inside and have all the comfort you need. Close to the beach, other resturants, bars and shopping.

My wife and I were buying time (avoiding 5 o'clock I-95 rush hour traffic). So we decided to get dinner early. The reviews were very nice so we made reservations and walked in. The host and the waiter were very nice. Our waiter provided excellent service and knew the menu well. As we sat we learn a lot about the history of the hotel...nice!!! There was live Latin Jazz entertainment which set the evening in a positive vibe. The food...was excellent. Very tasteful with a lot of flavor. We will be back!

Charming and historic, The Betsy has many features missing from contemporary hotels. While the rooms are small, hallways are warm, humid, a little dark, and sometimes confusing in layout, the artistic and creative points outweigh the drawbacks. There was a musty smell upon entering the lobby, which put an initial ding in the my shiny expectations, but the rooftop pool, the lovely library, and helpful staff made the stay pleasant. Automatic beach chaise/umbrella fees, and valet parking fees added significantly to the room charge but room rates are reasonable. Space was tight for myself and my two daughters in the double room with two queens overlooking the pool. Bath was gorgeous but would benefit greatly from more ventilation to address steam. Set aside some time upon arrival to explore all of the very cool details of this nicely preserved property.

We stayed here for 3 nights and were blown away! The room had a beachy vibe and one of the biggest comfiest beds we've ever had in a hotel. A bonus we discovered that continental breakfast was included and consisted of a choice of fresh pastries (2 each!) presented on little wooden boards they were delicious some of the best croissants we've had! You also had a choice of juices, coffee and tea. The rooftop pool although a little confusing to find was beautiful and had spectacular views over south beach. The sun loungers were so comfortable almost as good as the bed and the pool attendant was really attentive and new towels and lounger covers were available instantly. If you get the chance wake up early and walk across the road to the beach to watch the sunrise it was beautiful and the beach is lovely and quiet. Also if you don't have transfers from the airport use uber it's super cheap and really easy! We used it our whole stay and is definitely the easiest way to get around. This is a gorgeous hotel and definitely worth a visit.
