Hotel Ocean South Beach

The 7 Best Hotels in Miami (Updated 2025)

"On Miami’s famous Ocean Drive just steps from the beach, this small three-star hotel has a retro, beachy design and offers spacious, light-filled rooms with super comfortable beds, desks, mini-fridges, and flatscreen TVs. I appreciated the recently renovated, huge bathrooms—many with both tubs and walk-in showers with two shower heads—plus fresh coffee in the lobby, a lovely restaurant with sidewalk and outdoor courtyard seating, and complimentary bikes. For amenities the hotel doesn’t provide directly, guests can access nearby hotels’ facilities (including an outdoor pool, 24-hour gym, and a spa with a hammam, sauna, meditation room, and relaxation room), so you get a lot of value and an unbeatable location." - Matthew Kepnes
