About the Hotel
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.

Reviews for The Betsy - South Beach
Beautiful hotel
Superb, quirky hotel in a fantastic location. Beautiful rooms, great staff and amenities. Sunset at the rooftop bar/pool is a must. Can’t recommend this hotel highly enough.

Truly one of the most disappointing hotel experiences….one to avoid
Must admit that I truly found this hotel to be one of the worst hotels to stay in for business travel that I have ever experienced. I would never stay here again and would warn my colleagues and others to avoid The Betsy if at all possible if they need any degree of professionalism or service ethic from a high-end overpriced hotel. The staff shows no ability to be flexible, but even worse leads you to believe that they will deliver…and then don’t. Super unprofessional, untrained, no service ethic. Terrible. More than disappointing. And not cheap.

Was expecting something different….
Was expecting something different…. For a Miami Beach icon, I was expecting a warm welcome and lovely service. Visiting the Piano bar to soak up some local atmosphere but after sitting here 20 minutes without any interest from the staff who are standing idle by the bar (not busy). Sadly looks like they rely on a reputation built by the past. Bit of a shame Decided to take myself elsewhere

Local treasure
We love this restaurant and as Miami Beach locals we frequent often. Today, Joanne’s service was kind, sweet and top notch! Also the temperature was finally perfect and not as cold as usual. Thank you!

Peace, Tranquility, Beauty = Happiness
Amazing experience at the Betsy. Outstanding customer service. Location is perfect in the heart of South Beach. So much to do. The Betsy is truly a treasure. They made us and our 85 pound golden retriever feel super special and welcome. We loved our 3 days there. The rooftop pool is lovely. The library is so peaceful and tranquil. Walking distance to the beach. Right next door to a Starbucks. Loved the pizza at the Alley. Josimar-Fritz was our bellman when we left. He provided outstanding customer service. He took care of every single detail. We absolutely would come back. We were also fortunate to meet the resident golden trying very hard to take a nap near the bar. Ha ha. The owner was super cordial with us. Beautiful hotel in a beautiful place. Can’t say enough good things about it.
