The property can host conferences and events for up to 50 people. Special event coordination includes live music performances and custom menus.

South Beach Location

Located on Ocean Drive in an original 1936 Art Deco building, the hotel is steps from the beach. Lincoln Road Mall is an 11-minute walk away. Public parking is available at Collins and 13th Street, while valet service operates 24 hours at 13th Street and Ocean Drive for $45 daily with in/out privileges.

Guest Services & Accessibility

The hotel provides 24-hour concierge service, complimentary coffee and water in the lobby, and safety deposit boxes. The property is fully ADA accessible with proper grab bars, shower seats, and visual alarms for hearing-impaired guests. Valet parking, ironing facilities, and beach equipment are included in the amenity fee.

ā€œThis hotel stands out with its prime Ocean Drive location, mere steps from the beach and Lummus Park, putting guests right in the heart of South Beach. The Art Deco design adds a unique charm, aligning perfectly with the area's vibrant atmosphere. I think the personalized service and complimentary amenities, such as beach chairs and towels, enhance the overall appeal, making it a solid choice for leisure travelers.ā€

noisy air conditioning staff inaction
The location was excellent.
The air conditioning was very noisy. I think the staff should disable room 312. Everything in the room shook. Staff took no action despite my report.

inadequate air conditioning plastic tableware
The air conditioning system proved inadequate. It seemed to operate on a schedule dictated by the hotel and i could not adjust the temperature independently. this led to discomfort during the nights as the room became stuffy. furthermore, i found the breakfast arrangement substandard. Food was served on disposable plastic plates, a practice i deem unacceptable for a hotel of this purported class. the lack of proper tableware detracted significantly from the dining experience.

some issues with the room, location is fine.

stuffy room broken air conditioner
the location was fine, it was close to where i needed to be.
My room was stuffy and the air conditioner barely worked. It just blew air around. the elevator was also a nightmare. Staff had to manually operate it a few times. staying near the beach shouldn't mean such low quality!

Mixed Feelings About My Stay

limited space unwelcoming staff
The location was great, right on Ocean Drive.
The room was small. There was no space to walk around. The bathroom had no storage at all, and there was nowhere to put a wash bag or toiletries. The front desk staff did not.!!
