1 Hotel South Beach

Maja at Watr – A Masterclass in Human Hospitality In any business—especially hospitality—there are those who serve and those who lead. Maja, at Watr in Miami, is undeniably the latter. What makes an experience memorable isn’t just the view, the food, or even the ambience. It’s how someone makes you feel. Maja doesn’t just do her job—she starts with why. Her why is clear: to make every guest feel seen, valued, and at home. From the moment we arrived, her presence elevated the experience. There was nothing transactional about her service—it was deeply personal. She anticipated needs without assumption, engaged with warmth without pretense, and led every interaction with empathy. Great leaders don’t wait to be told what to do—they act because they believe in something greater than themselves. Maja embodies that. Her hospitality isn’t a task; it’s a calling. And when you experience service from someone who truly believes in what they do, it becomes something rare. It becomes human. Watr is lucky to have her. We were lucky to meet her.

As far as I am concerned this has matured to be THE hotel in South Beach/Miami Beach. It is like sitting in one's elegant living room and being waited on hand and foot. The room, the staff, the facilities and the food are all top shelf. For me and my 4 stays per year, this is the place, I don't plan to search for another

Had the absolute best time with my girlfriends at the 1 south beach! The staff was so kind and attentive, and the amenities, location, and views were top tier! Will definitely return for my next Miami trip and would recommend to anyone traveling to the area!

What a dreamy weekend! From start to finish, the staff went above and beyond to make our bachelorette weekend so special. The rooftop cabana experience was a major highlight—huge thank you to Juan, Joey, Edwin, and Dana for their warmth, great energy, and next-level hospitality. Every interaction felt genuine and thoughtful, and they made us feel so well taken care of. Martin at Aviv was also amazing—attentive, kind, and made our night feel extra celebratory. The vibe of the hotel, the views, the food, the service… everything was perfection. Highly recommend for a relaxing, elevated, and joy-filled stay. Can’t wait to come back!

We went for a bachelorette and had an absolute BLAST. The hotel is paradise, with several pools and restaurants scattered. We spent a lot of time on the beach too which was lovely, and the service all around was fantastic. Rooms were very spacious (we had four gals to a room).
