My husband and our friends stayed here for one night before driving south to the Keys for our holiday. We picked the Beacon mainly because of its location (we wanted to experience South Beach) and the reviews on TripAdvisor. We also thought it was value for money, given the fact it's on Ocean Drive. Our friends' got to the hotel... More

Just finished staying here for five nights. I traveled with my best friend for a birthday trip. We had a wonderful stay! Upon arriving we were greeted by a manager...I believe his name was Javier. He was nice enough and explained how everything worked, including the complimentary breakfast (wonderful little bonus btw). But the real sweetheart was Reynaldo. He made... More

My 19 year old daughter and I spent four nights in May at The Beacon. I chose this hotel because I received a groupon discount that was reasonable. The hotel is right on Ocean Drive, very convenient to the beach, restaurants, and boutique shopping. We had a small room with two double beds. The room was comfortable enough with air... More

The Beacon is a great small boutique hotel with a wonderful staff. The location in the heart of South Beach makes for a fabulous location. Walking to the beach was key for us as well as being steps away from shopping and partying. Rooms were an adequate size for me and my sister who were out there for a week's... More

I stayed with my girlfriends for a Bachelorette extended weekend get-away. The Beacon is centrally located and perfect to be able to walk to the beach (it's right across the road and the hotel has beach chairs available for you to use), restaurants and night life! The rooms were tiny... we had packed light (carry-on's only) and didn't have anywhere... More

Beacon Hotel is in the middle of South Beach, right in the thick of things. Driving towards the hotel on a Sunday afternoon was very tricky and difficult with snarling traffic and what seemed like a Las Vegas New Year's eve crowd. Thank God for their valet parking because us country bumpkins probably would not have been able to check... More

This is a charming but pricy Art Deco hotel which should be chosen because of it's perfect location on Ocean Drive. Really nice and helpful staff and the very efficient valet parking was very convenient at this busy location. Our room was clean and quite spacious but nothing special otherwise. Quite small bathroom but with some lovely complimentary toiletries.I would... More
