The Betsy Hotel
From the hotel:
The exquisite beachfront façade is a bold visible reminder of Miami’s past, but on the inside it’s restored, renewed, and refreshing. The Betsy, in the middle of the Art Deco district, offers a level of sophistication, pampering, and comfort unequaled at any South Beach hotel. From the intimate Garden Pool to private spa treatments in the Rooftop Retreat, guests enjoy personalized services from an attentive staff. Betsy guests can walk across Ocean Drive to the beach without leaving the service of The Betsy, making the sun and surf experience accessible and carefree.

The Betsy's Bellmen Wear Bushmen Duds
In a city known for its Art Deco trappings, the new look of The Betsy Hotel is more of an interior design mash-up. It may have been designed by Deco granddaddy L. Murray Dixon, but the “Florida Georgian façade” and airy interiors are more colonial plantation than clean modern...

Partner Reviews: The Betsy Hotel
-
Make sure your room is not facing the alley. It can be very noisy especially on the wee hours of the morning. The restaurant is excellent! The weird Yorkshire pudding roll things are awesome! -
Staff is really nice. The elevator is ridiculously small. Rooms are nice but the windows barely open. -
14th beach -
B BAR is unique, sophisticated and sexy. Most people can't find it, but I'll give you a hint... Find the hidden staircase that leads to a large purple door that says "By Invitation Only" Friday's= :)
-
The Deck, the hotel’s recently opened rooftop bar offers exotic drinks like the Rising Sun to the signature Josephine (an homage to The Fabulous Mrs. Baker), making sure you have a good time.
best spot in mia
I love Betsy Ross. If I can I will stay here every time. I love the staff. They were friendly and helpful. I like Betsy Ross better than my stay at Loews Mia. The price was right and service remarkable!!!!!! See ya soon.
Perfectly close to everything with a great atmosphere and beautiful lobby
This hotel did everything right. From great service to helping me find the best place to eat to actually making the reservation for me. I got 5 star service at a 3 star rate. I highly recommend this place. Not only is the beach across the street but this hotel is right in the middle of everything. All the hot spots are a 5-10 minute walk away. This was my best trip to South Beach ever!
