Our favourite rooms
If you’re a real vistaholic, 328 is a Royal Suite on the corner, with the best possible sea view. We of course love the high-ceilinged Royal Suites which overlook the ocean but that glory comes at a price. Light sleepers may want to request a room that is not next to the lift.
Poolside
Enjoy some shade from the hot South Florida sun, reclining on one of the elegant white sunloungers flanking the secluded courtyard pool; alternatively soak in the rays and city's skyline at the rooftop pool.
Packing tips
For the full photoshoot-ready effect, retro lemon-yellow accessories for the roofdeck by day, glittering disco threads for after-hours South Beach party-hopping.
Also
If you’re a philanthropy admirer, stay here with a clear conscience: the hotel is a do-gooding heavyweight with its fingers in lots of charitable projects and cultural programmes.
Pet‐friendly
Dogs can stay for US$150 a night (for each dog) – half of which goes to dog shelters in South Beach and Zimbabwe. See more pet-friendly hotels in Miami.
Children
This is a lovely hotel for urbane families. Baby cots can be added to the room at no extra charge although these don’t fit in a classic room.
Sustainability efforts
The restaurant uses locally sourced and farm-to-table ingredients, and is committed to sustainable fishing practices. Green cleaning products and energy efficient appliances are used throughout the hotel; the Betsy also chooses business partners who are committed to sustainable practices.
