My partner and I just returned from staying five days at the Raleigh. I have previously stayed at the Sagamore (cold, anemic, terrible staff), and the Delano, and thought i might try the Raleigh, as I have been a guest at Balaz's other hotels in New York and LA. He understands how to create a chic environment without the pretense... more

First of all, I never write reviews for ANYTHING, but The Raleigh Hotel more than deserves a stellar review! According to my husband I am having “Raleigh Withdrawals” ((as I am already planning how to make our next trip back!)) We could not have dreamed of having a better 2 year anniversary than we had at The Raleigh! The genuine... more

This is by far the best hotel in South Beach! The hotel is a beautiful representation of what the art deco hotels of South Beach were and should be. Fully restored to it's original decor. Very clean!!!! It is large enough to accommodate your needs without being too large or too small. It's just the right size. The service is... more

The Raleigh is so wonderful I wish I could move into one of their rooms! This is not a chain hotel so don't expect that kind of bland, generic high-end feel. The Raleigh is much more stylish than any chain. And don't expect the style to smack you over the head-- it's very subtle like a pair of Prada pants.... more

For the price there was no information upon checking into the hotel about any of the amentities. The customer service was horrible for how much we paid to stay at the hotel. The whole 15 - 18 % tip added to each bill is ridiculous and on top of that get bad customer service. The south beach isn't worth the... more

We spent a night at the Raleigh last week and absolutely loved it! The hotel has a great, old-school vibe - very unique. It's the outdoor area that blew us away - it must be the most beautiful pool in South Beach! And it's so relaxing and calm - the palms are enormous, there are orchids everywhere and the lounge... more

So I stayed at The Raleigh for two weeks and got to really get a good sense of the place. The staff were, mostly, pretty good but felt like the place has seen its heyday and resting on its laurels. Here are my problems with the place: the lifts are crazy dark, the maids were very hit and miss how... more

With so many choices in South Beach, it was difficult finding the one that was going to guarantee a nice weekend. After reviewing several sites and comments, I landed on the Raleigh due to a reasonable price and from the pictures of the hotel. My wife and I LOVED the hotel. The Art Deco look/feel was spot on and I... more

The hotel is perfekt located on Colins Avenue in the middle of South Beach. You are just a few minutes away from Lincoln Road, good restaurants and the clubs of Washington Avenue. The hotel grounds are beautiful and the staff is very attentive. Its a calm place with a awesome pool and good food (for Miami Beach on a good... more
