Great stay at a solid and chic hotel on Miami Beach. We were greeted by friendly and efficient doormen. Check-in was efficient and accompanied my glasses of Prosecco.

Great stay at a solid and chic hotel on Miami Beach. We were greeted by friendly and efficient doormen. Check-in was efficient and accompanied my glasses of Prosecco. Lots of European guests, which I love. Our rooms were on the small side but well-appointed. Bathrooms are tiny but clean and modern. Because one of our three rooms was distinctly moldy-smelling, we received another room without a fuss. My fav area is the lobby. Good people watching. Great piano players. Efficient staff. Breakfast is very good. The pool on the roof is not too small. Though beware the clickbait pics. This is not a huge area but is a nice place to spend part of the day. The beach is after all right across the avenue. The rooftop bar is run by happy seasoned bartenders including Gustavo who gave us great advice and friendly professional service. Read less

I had a wonderful experience at The Betsy Hotel during my short stay. Fritz from valet parking provided exceptional service, even though I wasn’t able to withdraw cash for a tip. His professionalism and kindness stood out. Additionally, the Brazilian bartender at the rooftop pool was fantastic—offering service with a genuine smile and being especially attentive to my daughter. It made our time by the pool truly enjoyable. Despite checking in very late after a long flight, the welcoming and efficient service at reception was remarkable. The overall service level was truly amazing. Thank you to the entire team for making our stay so memorable! Read less
