We spent the last three nights of our Easter holiday at the Raleigh Hotel on South Beach and we left with an overwhelming feeling of regret at having wasted so much cash on a very average hotel. It is in a good location, the Art Deco building is appealing but the rooms are small. The pool was very nice and... more

My husband and I go to South Beach 2 or 3 times a year and for the past few years we have stayed at the Raleigh. It has a comforting, relaxed ambiance, a spectacular pool and, at it's best, you are made to feel like you are a part of the hotel. Nothing is necessarily done or said to create... more

I'm just back from a 7 night stay at The Raleigh Hotel, South Beach Miami. It's been a so so experience. Firstly the positives: 1. Warm welcome by reception (female receptionist which I'll come on to later). 2. Good room. Large, clean, comfortable, well fitted and appointed. 3. Hand written welcome note, homemade cookies and strawberrys in the room on... more

My boyfriend and I had an overall pleasant experience at the hotel besides the event of his new 80G iPod being stolen from the room when we went out for dinner. The hotel staff did nothing other than suggest that we file a police report (what will a police report do for a stolen iPod?). The manager didn't offer to... more

I'll start with the Plus-side: The Raleigh has a beautiful Pool, maybe the most beautiful one I've ever seen. The Hotel is a Gorgeous, mostly-intact deco masterpiece. The Beach is great, and right next to the hotel. The Restaurant had good food, at least at breakfast. The Bellhops and Car Jockeys were great. But this is all to be expected,... more

The Raleigh is a delight as a structure, and the pool is almost worth the price, but the almost... more

We stayed at the Raleigh for two nights right after Christmas. Overall I loved the hotel, but did have an annoying service problem which in my experience is not that rare for South Beach. We reserved a Garden View room via Orbitz since it was $500 (yes, $500) less per night than through the hotel website. We received a confirmation,... more

Been to the Raleigh 3 times. Love the pool and the food at the restaurant is delicious! Mellow and not snooty, great service and the beach is right there. more
