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.

The Betsy is hands down the absolute best place to stay in South Beach. Perfectly positioned with direct beach access, it’s just a short walk from the Art Deco Historic District, Lincoln Road Mall, and incredible local dining, making the entire trip effortless. Stepping inside feels like slipping behind a velvet curtain into a completely different world of quiet elegance and artistic soul. It offers remarkable value for a luxury property, matched by service that is consistently warm and attentive. A special shout-out to George and Juan, whose exceptional hospitality made us leave thinking, “I definitely want to come back.”

I loved this place. One caveat, It doesn’t feel luxurious or five stars, in that sense it could be better. But, the atmosphere, art, all the small details, the service, all great. A place I’ll definitely repeat. The morning yoga classes, piano at night, the library!, all great as well. The gym could be better. Regarding the decor, I loved the room’s style (I was in the original building) but it definitely needs a restoration keeping its design DNA. I still rank it top because it has a great vibe and I got a wonderful time.

We had an absolutely fantastic stay from start to finish at the Betsy. The hotel itself is beautiful, spotless, and in a perfect location, but what truly made our visit exceptional was the outstanding service from the staff. A special thank you to George, whose warm welcome and genuine hospitality made a lasting impression. A big thank you as well to Tanya our valet, who always had our car ready quickly with a smile, and to Fritz, who made us feel welcome from the moment we arrived. The staff made our stay truly memorable, and we wouldn’t hesitate to return or recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a first-class experience. Five stars all the way!

The hotel was beautiful and such a treat compared to staying in a chain hotel. It was close to shops, great food, and the beach! They have great food and drink options available, relaxing pools, and helpful staff. Juan was especially helpful and gave us great advice about the area. Beautiful hotel & a great stay!
