Clean, neat and lovely Art Deco decor. Staff very friendly and helpful! Happy hour included free wine and beer - generous and good wine served. One block to the beach. Quiet but close to activity and nightlife! Will definitely stay here again!

Essex was in a prime location: block away from nightlife/beach. The staff was very inviting and friendly. Victor the bellman was very informative on where to go and extremely helpful. Front End Staff also great. The room was very clean and comfortable. Free happy hour of wine/beer was good too. Art Deco Style is just timeless and in perfect touch... More

We"discovered" South Beach courtesy of our daughter who was married on the beach there. We stayed at the Essex House then, and every time we return this is the place we return to.

I was staying at The Clevelander and decided to stay for a couple of more days however there were no rooms left at the Clevelander so they moved me next door to their sister hotel, Essex House. This was better than staying at the Clevelander. The rooms were much nicer. I had a suite on the ground level right on... More

Essex House was a great place for my wife and I to enjoy a birthday weekend in South Beach. Location is great on Collins, and we were fortunate to have a great corner room on the 3rd floor. Hotel is older, but lobby, bar and room are nice. Typical of older hotels, the bathroom is smaller, but nice. Staff was... More
