When we arrived I had to request the free upgrade we were promised at the time of booking, but once we did we were upgraded to a suite. The hotel is nice but the furniture in the lobby looks a little worn out. The pool is beautiful except for it has some holes in the walls, etc that need repair.... more

This is my 2d reveiw; 1st one tossed due to racial content inferred. Key to top lock did not fit. Phone inoperable. Tossed contents of shorts on glass top dresser, keys included, before bathing. After bathing notice glass top shattered. Told manager at front desk on way out. You will pay he says for damages. Upon return,night manager says don't... more

We are two New Yorkers who know their stuff when it comes to travel. We spent hours online researching the most ideal weekend getaway in South Beach and had looked at over 25 hotels; mostly boutique hotels. We wanted to feel pampered in a sophisticated surrounding where we could sit by a pool and order cocktails all day. We found... more

We stayed at the Raleigh for four nights in June. As anyone can see reading the different opinions illustrated in the reviews of The Raleigh, this hotel is not for everyone. If you're into noise and partying all night and a general feeling of the usual SOBE chaos, go elsewhere. But if you want a beautiful hotel with excellent service,... more

I was in Miami for a conference so I needed to stay in a particular location. The Raleigh was in a very convenient location and backed up to a really nice beach. The hotel itself was somewhat old and could use some updating. The rooms were very small, which is probably par for the course in South Beach. I wasn't... more

We stayed at the Raleigh for a bachelorette weekend and were immediately given great service from the valet, to an room upgrade with free champagne. The room was huge and had an amazing shower with 2 shower heads (the size of a walk in closet just for the actual shower!). The staff was friendly at the pool and even got... more

Lovely hotel, everyone there was friendly and helpful! From front desk, Alexandra to poolside, Pamela, to restaurant, Trent. They will coddle and spoil you. Marvelous coffee shop, room service, restaurant and bar. Concierge made an appointment for a haircut and it turned out great. This small hotel is perfect for a solo traveler, romantic getaway, or a small family. The... more

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
