Donatella Boutique Hotel

We enjoyed our stay at Donatella Boutique Hotel—great location, comfortable bed, beautiful design choices, and a spacious room. The bathroom had a nice double vanity and an amazing shower. Requests were handled quickly as well. However, the execution doesn’t match the aesthetic. We found the construction quality to be pretty bad. The flooring in our room was poorly installed with separated/broken boards and visible water spots throughout. The marble at the base of the shower was cracked with pieces falling out. There was nowhere to hang our towels — where hooks should have been there were just holes in the wall. Additionally, access to our room was through a spiral staircase above the restaurant kitchen, which felt awkward and intrusive. This isn’t a traditional hotel. It’s a few rooms above a restaurant with no lobby, reception area, or real hospitality offerings. Check-in is done at the bar, and we were hardly told anything upon arrival (no mention of breakfast or explanation on how to get in when the restaurant is closed). Additionally, noise from the kitchen and restaurant is pervasive. It feels more like renting a room above a kitchen than staying at a boutique hotel. Great potential, but the experience doesn’t fully deliver.

Our stay at Donatella was full of great experiences! Fedala was incredibly friendly and helpful from beginning to end. The hotel has such good vibes and is only about a 7-minute walk to the beach. The room was cozy and full of thoughtful details. I would definitely recommend this place and would stay here again when I come back to Miami!

I had an excellent stay at Donatella. The property was exceptionally clean and well-organized, providing a comfortable and welcoming atmosphere throughout. Its location is ideal—just a short walk to the beach and conveniently close to everything you might need, including shops, restaurants, and local attractions. The restaurant located below the hotel serves delicious food and offers a vibrant, enjoyable atmosphere that enhances the overall experience. Daniel, the hotel manager, went above and beyond to ensure our stay was smooth and enjoyable. His attentiveness and commitment to excellent service truly stood out. Highly recommended for anyone seeking quality accommodations, a prime location, and outstanding hospitality.

Our stay at Donatell was fantastic. The service was excellent, especially thanks to Fadala, who went out of his way to ensure everything was perfect. The hotel is stylish and comfortable, and the food was top-notch. Highly recommend!

I’m giving Hotel Donatella 4 stars, despite a few areas for improvement—mainly because the hotel just opened a month ago, and there’s clear potential here. This is a true boutique experience, with only six rooms and a very personalized atmosphere. There’s no traditional reception—just a small check-in station tucked into the corner of the ground-floor restaurant. The staff are incredibly warm, professional, and attentive, which really enhances the stay. The rooms are beautifully designed, with thoughtful lighting and a calming color palette. The beds are very comfortable, and the bathrooms are impressively large—though perhaps a bit oversized at the expense of bedroom space. One issue we noticed was the lack of privacy when the window shades are open, as there are no sheer curtains or frosted glass solutions in place. The amenities are top-notch for a boutique property: Bvlgari shower products, beach towels, and other thoughtful touches elevate the experience. Now, the downsides. Breakfast is quite minimal—just a few pastries, coffee, and orange juice—even though there’s a fully equipped restaurant on site. Speaking of the restaurant, its layout presents a challenge: to access your room, you need to walk through the dining area, which can feel awkward, especially during peak hours. Sound insulation is another concern. We could clearly hear music from the restaurant, staff conversations, and movement on the stairs—particularly disruptive during the afternoon setup when we were hoping to rest. All in all, Hotel Donatella is a stylish and welcoming boutique hotel with a lot of promise. That said, at the current price point, guests will likely expect a more refined experience. With time and a few adjustments, this could become a standout stay. I look forward to seeing how it evolves.

The room is very spacious, with a bathroom just as large as the room itself comfortable and with a very pleasant design. What stands out the most is the attention from the entire staff; they make you feel like “part of the family,” always attentive and helpful. The restaurant is beautiful it feels like a hidden gem right in the heart of Miami Beach. The cuisine is Italian, and most of the staff are true Italians, which really makes you feel like you’re in Italy.|I will definitely be coming back.

We had an excellent experience having dinner and staying one night at your beautiful, cozy boutique hotel. It was a complete surprise, and the staff was superb. Special mention to Maximiliano, Ryan, and Fedele for their outstanding service.

Gorgeous room and the most amazing Italian restaurant - we ate 3 dinners over 3 nights as it was too good to go anywhere else. Daniel and Massimiliano and all the staff were so lovely. Great spot too. 10/10

I loved this hotel let me start off with that since I only have it 4 stars. I love the location the staff was very friendly and accommodating. The atmosphere was extremely welcoming and sensual! I love the door the room it's very clean and comfortable beautifully decorated! I only had one issue it's only because I came fore work I wouldn't stay here again due to the noise my bed was literally vibrating had I just came on a little get away with my partner absolutely this is a great spot but I wasn't able to get any sleep due to the rooms are directly over the restaurant. Not only talking but music and it sounded great but not when you have to be up early other than that this is an amazing hotel!
