Elegant low-key lobby. Extremely clean, perfectly maintained, beautifully decorated guest room. Excellent temperature control. Minimal street noise from partiers. Room safe holds laptop plus camera. First-rate shampoo, body wash.... More

We enjoyed our 3 night stay at The Betsy in January, 2012. The room was spacious (we were upgraded to a suite) and very modern and clean. The hotel is centrally located and walking distance to many South Beach sights. It is beachfront, with a local park between the hotel and the beach. We loved the rooftop lounge. The only... More

My partner and I stayed for1 night at the Betsy. We had a late night arrival but still received a very warm welcome from the young man on reception. Our room was small but extremely clean and chic. Throughout our stay we found the staff, friendly, polite and extremely knowledgeable. The best cocktails are to be had at the hotel... More

We spent 4 nights at the Betsy Hotel on Ocean Drive in January 2012. The hotel is elegant and classy and upon arrival we were greeted by the warm and friendly valet who took our car for us. The reception staff were also friendly and helpful (which continued throughout our stay) and it was great that our room was ready... More

Your review means a great deal to us so thank you for taking the time to provide your feedback. For future travels with your family I highly recommend our Classic Suite Double that provides additional living area space for relaxation.

A truly fantastic experience. We stayed here for three nights and really enjoyed every one of them. Rooms were spacious, immaculately presented and superbly well furnished. The staff were all friendly and very proffesional. Dining in the hotel restaurant is to be recommended. Although the Betsy is not the cheapest hotel in Miami it really does offer superb value for...

Location was fantastic and the hotel was first class. From the staff on the door right through the hotel you were treated like a celebrity. The room was tastefully decorated as was the bathroom which was a little on the small side for me. I highly recommend eating in the hotel as it was one of the best meals I... More

We spent three days at the Betsy before going on a cruise and we had a great time in South Beach. The hotel is really well located in the quiet part of Ocean Drive; hardly a sound from outside, but only a few minutes walk from the action. It's a great looking building, inside and outside and tastefully decorated. The... More

My mother and I stayed in the Betsy one night before heading out on a cruise. We booked our stay through a promotion on Jetsetter.com and were a little concerned--this was the most we'd spent on one night in a hotel in recent memory. Money well spent! The hotel was absolutely beautiful in a gorgeous campaign-style way. Grass cloth, animal... More

We researched long and hard for our three night stay in South Beach, and chose the Betsy. Excellent choice - the position is great - opposite the beach on Ocean Drive (and Starbucks) but away from the craziness of the main Ocean Drive drag; the vibe is great - live funky music some nights, buzzy lobby, great restaurant with outdoor...

The Betsy was our one night stop over on our drive from Fort Myers and Key West. Although it was a busy memorial day weekend for South Beach, the hotel was very quiet and you can hardly hear sound from outside. The room was dreamy, bathroom was sufficient (considering it was just a one night stay), the top deck had... More
