"A Spanish-Mediterranean boutique hotel with bohemian-luxe interiors, offering a subtler alternative to the bustling Collins Avenue." - The MICHELIN Guide
"Awarded one Michelin key as a property providing a very special stay, this Miami Beach hotel is noted for contemporary design, dependable service and comfort, and a distinctive local character." - Stacey Lastoe
"For travelers of certain tastes, the big, established Miami Beach boutique hotels, with their see-and-be-seen atmosphere, can sometimes feel a bit much. Just one block from the Collins Avenue hotel strip, hiding in plain sight at Washington Avenue and Española Way, is something a bit subtler: Esmé Miami Beach is a Spanish-Mediterranean gem whose bohemian-luxe interiors establish a warm and slightly retro mood." - Mark Fedeli
"This hotel on Espanola Way, Esme Miami Beach, is home to its drinking den, El Salon, where hot chocolate comes with a boozy topping. This warm wintery beverage is a classic hot chocolate with a minty twist and a vanilla green chartreuse whipped cream." - Amber Love Bond
"The first new hotel to grace South Beach’s storied Española Way in decade, the enchanting Esme Miami Beach is all about the boutique hotel charms. Rather than replicate the easy, breezy, sand-in-your-toes style of South Beach’s grand dames, this restored enclave (which comprises eight buildings connected by charming paseos) offers a well-placed base from which to explore South Beach. You know you’re in for a unique experience as soon as you walk in the door; the lobby is outfitted with thick crimson carpeting, Moroccan-style benches and accents of brass and dark green, setting the tone for the Moorish influence on decor throughout the property. The rooftop pool is small-but-striking (and not really made for anything other than dipping) but it’s a perfect spot for catching sun under the connected peach and white striped daybeds that line the deck." - Sara Liss, Jennifer M.
