My friend Claire had to go to Mt. Sinai in Miami for tests to find out if she is a candidate for a life saving heart operation. We decided to have some fun in South Beach at the same time. The day at Mt. Sinai was exhausting and we were more than ready to have a cocktail by the time... More

We recently stayed in the Avalon in December and again in January. Great location, clean, also the staff was again very accommodating and friendly. We would especially like to thank Edith, she is very pleasant, courteous, professional and will do anything to make a stay at the Avalon a pleasant experience. We will definitely be back again.

I "totally" enjoyed being close to the beach, restaurants and shopping areas! The desk staff was very friendly, personable and helpful! The continental breakfast gave me a lot of choices and got my day started. I felt very safe at the Avalon. I also was able to access internet on a computer provided by the hotel. My room accomodations were... More

Best alternative ever. For the first time I have checked in a hotel in such a nice and easy way. Staff is cordial and gentle and helped us most of the time with our enquiries. I would like to specially recommend Ana Pastrana and the front desk office that checked us in on the morning of January 17, because they... More

This was our third visit to the Avalon and we wouldn't stay anywhere else when we visit South Beach. The location is fabulous and there is no better way to start your day than sitting on the terrace enjoying a complimentary continental breakfast while people watching. You have all the advantages of staying in a classic Art Deco hotel while... More

The great part about the Avalon is its location, which is why I picked it. If you want to hang out in South Beach, the location doesn't get much better. The other good part is that you can use the pool and beach at South Seas Hotel on Collins and 17th, which is nice a 20 minute walk up the... More

First of all, I should have written this right after we returned from our trip but jumped right back into work and busy holidays. Because of this I have forgotten the names of all the great people who took care of us at the Avalon--my sincere apologies! To be recognized for the great job you do is important for the... More

The Avalon Hotel cannot be in a better place. It's location in the heart of South Beach is perfect, close to everything. Surrounded by restaurants, bars, shops, and the beach across Ocean Drive. Staff is gently and a special recognition to Ana who is always smiling to passengers. The restaurant A Fish Called Avalon one of the best. Breakfast is... More

Great front desk staff, helpful cleaning people and valets. Exceptionally clean ROOMS. Let me specify rooms. The lobby, hallways, and elevator all have a bit of a smell. Some of it age, some of it kitcheny. I mean, truthfully, how can the entire lobby not smell like a kitchen (or banquet center) when A Fish Called Avalon is the restaurant... More
