⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This was our 7th stay at The Betsy, and once again it was an absolute pleasure. What keeps bringing us back is not only the beautiful property, exceptional location, and outstanding service, but above all the incredible people who make every stay so memorable. Our stay became even more special when our flight was unexpectedly cancelled, requiring us to extend our visit by one additional night. What could have been a stressful situation turned into a wonderful experience thanks to the exceptional hospitality of Fritzner. His kindness, professionalism, and genuine willingness to help were truly above and beyond our expectations. He made us feel welcomed, reassured, and cared for during an unexpected change in our travel plans. We were also delighted with Room 339, which was absolutely excellent—comfortable, spotless, and beautifully maintained. Everything was perfect, and we couldn't have asked for a better place to spend an extra night. A special thank you to Joanny at breakfast each morning. Her warm smile, welcoming attitude, and genuine kindness always start our day in the best possible way. It is truly a pleasure to see her every year, and her professionalism and attention to guests make a real difference. We would also like to recognize Alexs, Gonzalo, and Ray for their exceptional service and professionalism. Their warm smiles, attention to detail, and thoughtful recommendations consistently enhanced our experience. They always took the time to make us feel welcome and ensured that every moment of our stay was enjoyable. Their dedication to hospitality is one of the many reasons we continue to return year after year. The entire team at The Betsy goes above and beyond to create a welcoming and elegant atmosphere that truly feels like a home away from home. Thank you to Fritzner, Joanny, Alexs, Gonzalo, Ray, and the entire Betsy team for another unforgettable stay. Rien

The concierge Paul is absolutely incredible! He helped book a boat tour for us and arranged a rental car for the day, plus he organized a curated tour of the hot spots in Miami. We will be coming back!

I had such a great stay at The Betsy. It stands out far and above the rest of the hotels near it. From the service to the food, the rooms and the art, it is by far one of my favorite hotels I’ve ever stayed in, and definitely my new favorite in South Beach! Will absolutely be back.

The hotel's location was satisfactory due to its close proximity to the beach. The room did not meet basic standards of cleanliness and maintenance. There was a strong, unpleasant smell of humidity. I encountered a cockroach in the room!!! The faucet was unstable and falling apart. Mold was present inside the refrigerator. I also noticed a significant accumulation of dust on top of the TV shelf. I would have expected a much higher standard from this establishment. The hotel beach was closed all day despite only rain showers occurring early in the morning. We had to clean our vehicle because the hotel's valet service left popcorn inside it. All of these issues are unacceptable for a hotel of this standard. We brought the matter to the hotel's attention. Management was supposed to get back to us, but we are still waiting to hear from them...

Chambre petite qui commencent à être défraîchies, salle de bain minuscule où il est impossible d’installer sa trousse de toilette, air climatisé brisé deux fois en 3 jours, valet parking qui n’avait toujours pas retrouvé mon véhicule près d’une heure après l’avoir commandé, personnel plutôt bête… Heureusement, la piscine et la plage étaient bien.

Beds and pillows were comfortable. Our room overlooked the street but noise was minimal. Staff was super gracious and everything from rooftop bar/pool to restaurant to bar/music lobby was fun and personable. We had a 12 women family reunion and it was perfect! Could walk to beach, boardwalk, nice restaurants, etc. loved it!

Highly recommend the Betsy Hotel if you’re looking for a historical art deco hotel located right on South Beach! The staff is so friendly, the rooms are adorable and the lobby bar is always bustling with activity. Josh from the last lobby bar is the best, go see him and I’m sure he will make your day :)

Had a great memorial weekend stay. Great location and rooms were great. Staff exceeded expectations with how courteous they were and did their best to accommodate every request. We were even able to check in at 10am and start using the facilities after our request. Juan was extremely helpful during our stay even walking our luggage around the block to help us catch our ride.

Location was great Both pool areas were not nice. The ground floor one is literally a sauna with zero breeze. Lobby was waaaay too loud and busy at all times, the a/c in the room was noisy, we could hear the room next to ours flushing their toilet.

This was such an excellent stay! Location was great, amenities were excellent and the staff were stars. Josimar at the front desk was an absolute joy and so kind and helpful!

The Betsy is an amazing, world-class hotel. This was my third stay at the hotel. The first time in 2017, then again in 2022, and now T and W before MDW. The location is perfect. Quiet, yet close to everything! The staff is excellent. Everyone I encountered was helpful. I especially liked Mark and George at the front desk. They treated me like a VIP. Evens was a very kind bellhop. I had a dinner at LT steak and seafood that was like one of the best meals of my life. I got the crabcake salad, the chicken al mattone, and the flan. On the next day, I got breakfast outside, and the view is angelic and beautiful. The waiter shooed away a bird for me! I felt like everyone went above and beyond. The gym is really nice, you can get a great workout in there. And the rooftop pool wasn't busy at all. Maybe 6.people at its busiest. The staff was attentive but not intrusive. The hotel is a little bit of a maze, but with another pool off the lobby, the amazing library, and all the cool art, it's actually fun to get lost. There's also another rooftop with amazing beach views. My only regret is I didn't do yoga there, which they offer! :) The hotel bar is awesome, again, great staff, and the live jazz is just so special. I can't recommend this place enough. I can't wait to come back! Thank you again, Alex M.

Hotel had a really fun environment. Staff was friendly and helpful. Amenities were top notch. Loved the art throughout the resort. Roof top pool was a beautiful quiet spot to lounge. Food and drinks were top notch. Our room was nicely decorated and clean. Only drawback is that we spent extra to have a balcony and ours was above the alley and pizza restaurant. It was really loud all hours of the day and well into the night so we didn’t really spend any time sitting outside our room.

The building is located in a great location. The lice music is excellent. Food is delicious. Great vibes for relaxing and socializing in the hotel lobby. Roof pool was a very nice place to relax and the poolside bar is a really nice touch. The rooms are visually quaint and tasteful. The courtyard pool was dirty. The rooms are small, but the balcony room feels less cramped.

We have stayed at The Betsy a couple of times now for long stays and cannot recommend the place enough. It is classy, stylish, comfortable and the service is second to none. Shoutout to waiter Jose (Messi - seriously a copy of him!) looking after us daily, bellboy Juan for good vibes and surprising my Mom for her 70th (i am so grateful), Nora who cleaned our room, and Pamela and Josh at the bar! Love you guys and cannot wait to be back! N/A

What truly makes this place unforgettable is the staff. We were celebrating my birthday and our engagement, and they made us feel so special from start to finish. Huge shoutout to bartenders Adrian, Josh, and Robert—absolute legends. We were literally hugging them goodbye by the end. Also can’t say enough about Juan, Fritz, and Cecilia—just incredible humans who made it feel like home instantly. The live music every day is unmatched, the rooms are beautiful, beach access is effortless, and the rooftop pool has the perfect chill vibe. Plus, LT in the lobby is fantastic, and it’s dog-friendly! Every detail is thoughtful. Total perfection—we’ll absolutely be back.

This was a fantastic experience! Especially for someone that loves to travel solo. The property is very well maintained, not owned by a big chain of hotels which is a big deal for me. Rooftop pool was my favorite part. The staff in the whole hotel is wonderful. The lobby bar, LT restaurant, and The ALLEY PIZZA spot were all wonderful. Great food, loved the jazz music in the lobby as well, the art exhibit, library space…. I loved everything about this hotel. I can’t wait to come back.

Great location. Very friendly staff. Our suite had multiple stains in the area rugs which was a little off putting. And there was definitely a musty smell in the rooms that others have commented on. The room was spacious and beach access great. Pool area a little smaller than expected (rooftop pool and then another main level pool that is less frequented). We had a great time overall
- 5/5
The hotel is vibrant, full of energy, and charm. Incredible art and books add so much character and thought to the experience. Every corner is considered with beautiful pieces - even the elevators. Loved the unique spaces, including the amazing library, rooftop pool, coffee shop, and courtyards. Loved how the hotel is inspired by a dog, Betsey. She is almost a celebrity there, and my kids were so excited to see her every day in her spot. The room was spacious. The food at LT was phenomenal. Nothing
- 2/5
Really wanted to love this hotel. It does have positives: great staff, beautiful common spaces, good food, but not enough to justify $1,000+ per night. The double room in the Dixon wing was a major letdown. Extremely small, no storage (we couldn’t unpack), and worst of all, a strong mildewy smell with a super humid environment, even the beds even felt damp, so it was hard to sleep. We found stains on the walls consistent with mold (per AI), and when we got home, everything in our luggage (even unworn clothes) smelled and had to be washed. My daughter was constantly coughing whenever we were in the room. I tried airing the room out, but the window wouldn’t stay open...I had to prop it up with an ice bucket. The phone didn’t work, so I couldn’t call for help, and the front desk was always too busy to wait. The AC/vents seemed poorly maintained and clogged with dust and link, which I assume made things worse... At this price point, this just shouldn’t happen.

This South Beach boutique hotel offers superior customer service and wonderful amenities in an historic Art Deco building. Two pools, multiple dining options, library, dogs!, and fabulous beach set up nearby. Well located with easy access to shopping, restaurants, and the Art Deco district. We loved the personalized service and attention to detail that made this hotel an excellent choice for our Miami visit.

Great location and staff was amazing. Rooms are EXTREMELY small and dated. Felt dirty as well. The steak restaurant LT was definitely a 5 star bill but the dinner lacked anything special. The steaks were all tough and flavorless. Total waste of a nights dinner. Spoke with several people at the pool who had the same experience. The pizza place at the hotel was phenomenal and probably the best pizza I have ever had! Drinks at the pool are way overpriced ($90 for 4 drinks). Nothing was terrible, and again, staff was wonderful but absolutely not worth several thousand dollars for a few days stay. Much better options for that kind of money with the same great location and way better rooms and amenities.

Clean, bedding was good quality, staff was genuinely doing their best The floor plan of the two buildings is stupid. We were traveling with friends and it was very difficult to explain where we were located on the ground floor. Four elevators?

The Betsy Hotel is hands down one of my favorite places to stay—if I could give it 10 stars, I would! Every single person made our experience amazing: from the bellman to the receptionist, the front desk team, the bartenders, waiters, concierge, the General Managers, and even the cleaning staff—each person was warm, professional, and unbelievably accommodating. The food was delicious, the daily live music created the perfect atmosphere, and the rooftop pool had a really nice view of both the city and ocean. Our room was spacious, spotless, (it smelled so good) and so comfortable. The location couldn’t be better—right across from the beach with complimentary lounge chairs and umbrellas, and just a beautiful walk from the heart of South Beach. I’ll absolutely be booking here again—The Betsy Hotel is unforgettable!

While the overall service was very good, we had a difficult time getting our car from valet to leave during the heavy rain. We had previously called the valet for our car and While we were in the lobby, we saw the only valet bring it in front and run off. After 30 minutes of asking repeatedly to the staff and manager we overheard that the valet went on a coffee break but no one else had access to our keys. It took ~45 min to get into our car and quite a bit of frustration. Otherwise the staff, managers and accommodations were lovely.

It was a bit crowded on the strip, but the hotel is a very nice escape that brings you to an era of class and charm with piano in the lobby and water upon arrival with very warm welcomes. Decor was very well done and beds very comfortable. Felt very cared for, safe, while enjoying the location! Most of the hotels around us were very loud and lots of live music- too intense for me, but this hotel was classic and a warm welcome from that!

Special shout out to Fritz our guy! Very helpful amiable and always smiling. If you are looking for home when in South Beach Miami, make sure to stay at Betsy. PS the food at their restaurant LT is the bomb!!!! Everything is divine and value for money plus you get to experience the exceptional service of the LT restaurant staff. We will definitely go back.

Lacking staff on the rooftop pool, didn’t like the fact that the beach didn’t have food and beverages service, that’s the only downside about this hotel

The Betsy is situated on a quieter area of South Beach, Miami. You can walk everywhere, the hotel is beautiful, 2 swimming pools, decorated in Colonial style with added touches of luxury. The staff are amazing. The hotel has its own section on south beach though we preferred the rooftop pool area. Musical entertainment in the evening and so much going on around the hotel outside

Great staff. Wonderful hotel great location. Classy but not flashy. Been here many times and always have a great stay.

Initially we have been in a room with balcony in the new building, and it was really small for a 5 days stay (maybe for a 1 night would have been okish). We then moved to a classic king in the old building, space was good. A bit noisy, the ventilation system makes noise 24h and also kids running around outside the room in the corridor. There is a 45usd charge for jazz and beach services, the staff on the beach is not very approachable and there is basically no service, food or restroom facilities. Would not come back. Would recommend a refurbishment of internal areas and rooms: even if we understand the history behind this landmark, they are a bit outdated. A refurbishment would guarantee the 4 stars category and get Betsy back to where it should be!

The staff here is amazing.One hundred percent professional. And I do mean all the staff .. This is a boutique hotel. This is not your average tourist hotel. You get what you pay for. I work at a four star hotel myself and know what a five star is, and this betsy hotel is definitely that. Go ahead and stay at a mega Resort
- 2/5
The hotel is clearly showing its age and would benefit greatly from a renovation - rooms and common areas feel tired and outdated. While the restaurant staff were friendly and provided good service, the front desk team came across as disinterested and unwelcoming, which set a poor tone upon arrival.

The location was so ideal for me. Quieter part of Ocean Drive but walking distance from a lot of restaurants / Bars etc. The hotel is literally across the road from the beach where you have access to towels, beach chairs and an umbrella covered in the resort fee which is fantastic and hope they continue with. The beach was nice, clean and well staffed. Staff onsite were very professional and friendly. The room we had was nice, clean, and true to the picture, minor wear and tear; also the room we had was quiet which I liked. I would definitely stay again. However in terms of space, the King is extremely limited. There's not much space generally, also in terms of storage space and there's nowhere to sit accept for the bed. That was a drawback but nothing that would stop a return stay. The room is very aesthetically pleasing, comfy bed etc. All the things you'd want in a nice stay. The rooftop pool though small was nice. We unfortunately were charged for an item in the room we didn't use/ take, but once we highlighted this, they refunded the charge immediately which resolved it, and was obviously the right thing to do, though it did show good faith on their part. Sometimes hotel picking is a gamble but I'm very glad I ended up picking this one and would stay again :)

The hotel itself is so charming with such a southern hospitality feel. The staff were so attentive and the rooms were adorable. Bathrooms are a tad small but that is to be expected in older hotels and hotels in Miami in general. The restaurant and bar were both fabulous and such a great location on the strip.

Very dissappointed they did not give us the room we booked. We booked a quiet ocean view king bed and ended up with two regular beds with horrible noise. It was a bait and switch. Very sad as I have stayed at several excellent Miami hotels and this one has the same potential but if one cannot sleep what is the point. When I checked in she promisded me the bed was a Queen. It was not

Like great location. Many staff friendly and kind. Property was very quiet other than one night. Very disappointed no upgrade when most days it was low occupancy especially with construction 3rd, 4th, 5th day with no mention at booking nor any compensation. Main Restaurant closed same days. $$ two of nights and this just fell flat for me. Stayed here in past May consider alternative, I will give credit for Prosecco and chocolate marshmallow in my room for my birthday

We enjoyed our stay at The Betsy. Comfy bed and pillows for a nice nights rest. We especially enjoyed the live music each afternoon and evening. Unfortunately Hurricane Milton cut our stay by two nights. We had to hurry home to Tampa to prepare.

Great property in the Deco District. Staff is amazing and the food/bar is wonderful. Live music every night! There are issues with the layout that can be frustrating. Access for anyone with mobility issues could be difficult. Very similar to a hotel in Europe in that way. Beach access is so convenient!

It’s a very beautiful hotel. The staff went out of their way to be friendly. Nice rooftop pool with bar. Free beach chairs and umbrella for the beach. Nice park across the street. The area is very clean. Other hotel restaurants on the same block.

I really liked the hotel, and since this was our first visit to Miami, I was glad to be staying in a lively area like Art Deco. The hotel can use some upgrades though.
- 5/5
I’d definitely stay again. Only area of improvement would be the beach chairs where the umbrellas are not opened which beats the whole purpose of sun protection! Other than that, loved my stay!

Staff was exceptional and very willing to assist us in any way. Beautiful hotel in a convenient location to beach and restaurants.

generally speaking it is very good. only the window glass need to be changed into double glazed glass to avoid outside noise
