I surprised my husband with 36 hours in South Beach for his 40th birthday and booked us into The Betsy upon a recommendation from a friend. I booked us in online and quickly received an email from Margot, one of the concierge's, welcoming us. I shared that the holiday was a quick and romantic one to celebrate a big birthday,... More

We had a "girl power" trip - me, my girl-friend and my little 4lb female dog stayed at The Betsy Hotel for 2 nights in late May 2012. The staff are super nice to all three of us. They even remember my little dog's name the second time they meet her. Their service is exceptional! The room is very clean... More

Dear Jessica L., Thank you for your review of our hotel! We are not just dog friendly, we are a bit dog passionate. Although we do not get a lot of travelers with dogs here in South Beach and at the Betsy, when we do, our proximity to Lummus Park across the street, our intimate setting, terrace dining at BLT...

Dear Nassua, Thank you for taking the time to write your review on your stay. It is true that some of our rooms are not big - our historic hotel was originally built 70 years ago, and in our complete renovation a few years ago, many ( a third) of the rooms were doubled up and converted into suites -...

The hotel is located across from the ocean on the North end of South Beach. Service was exceptional and the restaurant was five star. The hotel porvides valet parking but you won't need your vehicle. Everything is within short walking distance.

I recently stayed at the Betsy hotel in Miami. The room and the hotel were beautiful. The location and great and the staff were courteous. After checking in I informed the front desk that the room smelled of smoke and asked if there was anything that could be done. They apologized and said it would be taken care of immediately.... More

Stayed there for 3 nights. Hotel in general is great, atmosphere is very inviting and has a home style feeling combined with a out of town camp house. Had breakfast there twice, in my opinion breakfast menu is not that wide, but the dishes I tried were quite delicious. Front desk staff quite friendly and Paul, the concierge, was very... More

Dear Jose, Thank you for taking the time to write an extensive review of your visit with us! I was sorry to hear that one morning, your sleep was disturned by delivery trucks - South Beach is a very compact district, as you know now, and sometimes it is difficult to take care of all of the hotels and restaurants...
