The Tony Hotel South Beach

Our stay at the hotel was generally pleasant. The hotel room was fine and clean, and the cleaner was very friendly. However, the cleaning service itself could be improved. When asking for an umbrella at the reception, the service was unfortunately not very friendly. We had to figure out ourselves how to get an extra umbrella. Specifically, the staff member wearing a blue polo shirt on January 17 around 9:45 AM did not provide a positive experience. On the other hand, the rest of the reception staff was very helpful and kind. Another staff member assisted us excellently with planning and booking excursions, which we greatly appreciated. Overall, a pleasant stay with some areas for improvement in service.

We totally enjoyed everything about our resort pass stay at Tony’s! The hotel was very clean and welcoming with their decor and professional staff . The pool was very nice and it was not heated as advertised . The roof top view on of the beach was beautiful . The service on the roof top was too notch . The pool staff does everything to make your stay comfortable . We ordered truffle fries and chicken tenders ; both were awesome for poolside food . The drinks was reasonable for happy special 2-5. I would get their early for chair access and parking . Would definitely return , gave us the time we needed to relax and unplug from the busy world . Jon & Jayde Smith

The service at this hotel far exceeded my expectations. Nellie at the front desk was so welcoming and remembered my name every time I came and went. Domingo is an incredible concierge and worked miracles for our large group including accommodating changes along the way!! The servers in the restaurant and out conference were so polite and welcoming also making accommodations for us! Excellent Service!! Thank you for making our stay so pleasant

We loved this hotel. A great art deco design with fabulous size rooms and bathrooms all well equipped for our stay. Great wardrobe and drawer space in the room as well as tea and coffee making facilities. The bed was comfy and cool and the air con in the room was a must in this heat and nice and quiet too. The staff have all been so friendly, helpful and courteous throughout our week long stay. Nothing is any trouble and offers of help are always available daily. We have really enjoyed our stay here. The rooftop pool is a gorgeous spot to spend the day and again the staff are happy to help with towels. We also visited the beach during our stay and enjoyed the free beds and towels on offer. For a non coffee drinker I have struggled with getting a good cup of tea but in this heat juice is just as good. Located just around the corner from Ocean Drive the beach is just a couple of minutes away. You have shops and restaurants all around and free trolleys that you can ride to get around. If you like a hotel a bit different and in a wonderful location this is the one for you.

I find it hard to believe the recent 4 and 5 circle reviews for this hotel are genuine. ||||We booked as a family of 2 adults and 2 kids, for 2 nights in a suite. We would have left immediately following site of the room, but arrived late and had nowhere else to stay. We left the following morning. ||||The furniture in the room was filthy, with all sorts of stains. When we reported this, a man came to the room, looked around, spoke Spanish on his radio and left. ||||We went to reception to ask about a room change. No room change was offered. The manager did not offer even an apology. ||||With no other option, we asked for sheets to cover up the dirty furniture. When we got back to the room, the filthy stools had been removed and blankets placed over the furniture that couldn’t be removed. ||||We pushed a bed towards the wall so one of the kids could not fall out. It appears the floor under the bed had never been cleaned. ||||I thought that at least the bed sheets would be fine. Even those were not in good shape, with rips, which appear to have come from excessive wear and tear. ||||Both of the beds are in the same room of the suite. So with the kids in bed, we sat on the blanket covered furniture, in the hope of looking for alternate accommodation for the next night. The hotel WiFi did not work in the second room. ||||My wife went to the hotel bar to use the Wi-Fi, and in the hope of a much needed drink. She sat at the bar from around 9-9.30pm, no bartender, no drink. ||||When checking out at around 8am the next morning. I asked to speak with a manager and was told he would not be available to until 12pm. We therefore have no option but to seek a refund for the second night through the booking agent||||There are other issues

I got lucky when I chose this fantastic hotel for my first trip to Miami South Beach! The room was large, clean, comfortable and had a nice view of the streets below! Location was PERFECT! Just a very short walk to the sand where we picked up our free towels and lounge chairs! I’m not in the best shape and I handled the walk with ease. Now the staff…the staff was PHENOMENAL!! We arrived way before check in time and they held our luggage while we wondered around & sat in their nice lobby that had excellent air conditioning! The girls at the front desk were so sweet! Masma & Anna are the kindest young ladies I’ve met! And David…David, David, David🥰 He was so helpful, so kind, so funny, so cheerful, and so personable! Robin, the manager is the KINDEST, most HELPFUL, sweetheart of a man! (And not too hard on the eyes😉😍😆) I will absolutely come back to The Tony South!!! I found my forever hotel in South Beach Miami!!!

Location was great and very convenient. Walkable to many restaurants and bars, as well as to the beach. Concierge was friendly and helpful with our luggage. Front desk check in went smoothly. Very nice, retro, funky looking lobby decor. I love Art Deco, so it was definitely a factor on our decision to stay here. Our room, although cute, wasn’t what we expected from the photos and description. It seemed clean, but overall you can see the room’s wear and tear so it could definitely use an update. They also gave us a wheelchair accessible bathroom, which when we booked it, it did not specify that we would be getting a room like that. My biggest annoyance, however, was the paper thin walls and floors. We were on the 2nd floor, and we could hear everything from the floor above us. Footsteps were loud, and woke us up a few times in the middle of the night. For some reason, the person above us decided to heavily walk, jump and skip- back and forth across their room- at 6am in the morning…for an hour. Or at least, that’s exactly what it sounded like! We had a room facing the street and we stayed on a Friday night, so thankfully we actually didn’t have a problem with the outside noise, aside from the occasional car sounds. Can’t say anything about the restaurant/bar, as we didn’t eat there. I was really looking forward to staying here, the photos looked really cool, but our experience was a bit underwhelming. We paid about $500+/night so was definitely expecting better. It wasn’t a horrible experience, but for that price, or slightly more, I think the list of other hotels we were trying to decide on might have been nicer. It was fine for one night, but unfortunately, I don’t think we would stay here again.

Any time my husband and I visit Miami, we like to be on South Beach and always choose to stay at the Tony in the Ocean Street rooms. This was our third visit and we were in Miami for Usher’s concert, but it was canceled due to Hurricane Milton. So, we only planned on staying one night instead of three. Unfortunately, I forgot to call and tell them of the new plans, but the manager did not hassle us about calling ahead and graciously allowed us to cancel the other nights without a problem. The staff is always so nice and friendly. The hotel is in a great location and the rooms are very spacious. This is the only hotel we will stay at when visiting Miami.

This is a hard one - quite good, not quite excellent. The Tony's location is quite good. It's pretty (and historic! You'll see design tours visiting the Collins Drive building) and clean and the small garden and porch areas are lovely. The popular News Cafe restaurant/bar that occupies the bottom floor of the Ocean Drive building (and the two buildings _are_ down-the-sidewalk/across-the-alley separate: there's no pass-through between them like The Betsy has - this surprised me despite my having read up on the place before booking) gives a 20% discount to guests of The Tony. The hotel staff are lovely and kind (very deserving of tips). The pool is beautiful - in an area with so many great rooftop pools, the aesthetic here somehow beats all the others for me. And our Ocean Drive King room was great, good wifi, nice fridge, coffeemaker, prompt housekeeping, and roomy (in a way unusual for the area) with tons of storage drawers and shelved cabinets. Alas, there was very little storage for hanging things (almost none, just a slim closet that was already full of robes, an ironing board, a luggage rack and an umbrella), and we travel with most of our clothes hanging. The bed was firm but had an overly thick and soft pillowtop that was not good for my back (my wife liked it just fine). To get ice on the Ocean Drive side, you have to call a staffer (not so on the Collins Drive side). The Ocean Drive building is not especially accessible for elderly folks (my wife and I are fit and middle-aged, and hauling our luggage down a few steps, through a crowded restaurant, and then down the street was a chore - although the concierge insisted on helping us on the way in and I'm sure a bell hop would have come had we called on departure). There were all the usual old-property issues one expects on South Beach (a shower that smelled somewhat of sewer gas for a couple days, mildew, a weird fire-alarm that killed the elevator in our building for 12 hours) - but they were all addressed as well as possible. Pricing is reasonable for what you get - The Tony is a solid value in an area lacking in such. I would heartily recommend signing up for their website and booking through that: we got a much better deal that way than was offered on several other sites and doing so brought us a surprisingly nice bottle of bubbly to enjoy, too. This part of South Beach is a noisy area, but noise was just not an issue for us (in room 235 on the 8th Street side of the building that fronts on Ocean Drive) - and The Tony provides earplugs, just in case. The pricing at the courtyard/lobby bar was in line with other places in the area, but the service and atmosphere wasn't quite up to the places we enjoyed more. We liked our stay at The Tony quite a bit - but I don't think I can reasonably tell you it's a five-star property. But would we stay here again? My wife enthusiastically would. The concerns I would have would be the softness of the bed from that pillowtop and the schlep down the sidewalk, through the restaurant and up the (few) steps with the luggage - actually, the sofness of the bed would be my only hesitation. It was a nice stay.

Small hotel in a fantastic location with a cool rooftop pool area but motel style rooms and other issues. Highlights - Location: on Collins 1 block from ocean and Miami Beach - Rooftop pool: can see the ocean across the street, has comfy lounge chairs, water is a good refreshing temperature, small bar with drinks and food and happy hour at 2pm - Cool art deco exterior matching that neighborhood - Free admission into Wynwood Walls ($12) as it's the same owner as the hotel. About a 20 min Uber away depending on traffic Midlights: - Housekeeping was unreliable. Sometimes they came while we were out and others it was after 4pm and they still didn't come. - Pool service: sometimes came and around and was great and other times mia or too busy and said couldn't take orders for at least 10 more minutes. - Food at pool: some things were better than others. We liked the beef empanadas but not the chicken (they were oddly velveeta cheesy), and liked the tender mahi sandwich but the guac and salsa for rye chips seemed like out of a jar from the grocery store. - Website menus are not accurate: they had a lot more breakfast options including chilaquiles we wanted to order as well as mahi tacos. - Elevator: 1 for the place and always seemed to have a wait a decent amount of time for it. Lowlights: - Dating app problem: looks a lot better in pics the website - Rooms are only big enough to fit a bed and pretty run down. There's an attempt to cover that up with some art deco decor. Not pleasant to relax in--just to sleep. No light switch by the door so I came into a dark room and could only find a light in the closet. - Bathroom: barely had room to stand in front of the sink it was so tight. - Thin walls: could hear everything people said in the hallway and even in rooms across the way in addition to people's steps in rooms above us. - Closet: bar to hang clothes was so short a good portion of my long dresses were on the ground. - Pool gets crowded: especially in the afternoon may not be lounge chairs left. If cabanas are rented a whole side on chairs are reserved. They also sell day passes so that's more people to take up space at a small pool. - Well liquors: all pretty generic unknown brands used in the cocktails and for happy hour. Eg not even like Bacardi or Jim Beam or Smirnoff - Waters: only provide bottles the first day and say to use the water dispenser in the gym but was out of water every time we tried to get some. Was thinking it was a cute small boutiquey hotel for the price, but was disappointed in quality of the rooms.

5 stars for the rooftop service, pool, and lounge area. The employees were incredibly friendly and helpful. The room, however, was lackluster and could certainly use more lighting in addition to more modern upgrades. The walls were super thin so I heard my upstairs neighbor's every move. Location is great. Just steps away from the beach where you can grab a chair and towel, and a bunch of different nightclubs and restaurants. Okay place to stay if you're on a budget.

Such a cool hotel! Fits right into south beach with its retro vibe. Absolutely perfectly located a block from the beach and with a roof top bar and pool it's amazing. We had room 221, which turned out to be an amazing suite - two very comfortable queen beds with big screen tv with a lot of closet space, but through a door you have a very nice sized "parlor" with a desk, built in sofa and chair plus another big TV. Of this room is the very large bathroom with a jetted jacuzzi tub/rain head shower. All of the furnishings are wonderfully vintage...like stepping back to the 1950s (including great photos lining the stairway up of all the south beach beauty queens, But they DO have an elevator!). The room did have a safe that easily accommodated our iPads, and the closet had built in lighting, which was really appreciated. The best part is that someone could sleep in while someone else worked in the parlor without disturbing them. There is an additional $25 resort fee, but they do have a gym (not used) free WiFi (excellent) and coffee in the rooms. And the wonderful concierge was super helpful in booking us a great Cuban place to eat (Havana 1957 - just down the street)...at 11pm! (Ended up eating there twice) Even the security guard was super nice. They have a wonderful 'porch' sitting area with comfortable chairs and couches outside. He came out an introduced himself to everyone, asking if anyone needed anything he'd be happy to help. In 30 years of traveling, that was a first! Things to be aware of. It's an older hotel that's been very well kept up. But while you can't hear any other rooms conversations, you can hear people walking around. Being on the second floor, late at night you can hear some cars really blasting music. If you're a delicate sleeper, consider ear plugs. We booked this primarily because it was the most affordable way two couples could spend a few days exploring South Beach prior to a cruise, but it turned out so much better than I imagined!

Our favorite place to stay when we come to Miami. The staff is very friendly and amazing. They always go out of their way to take great care of you. The food and drinks are awesome. They have the best fish tacos I have ever eaten. The rooftop bar and pool are not to be missed. Awesome view and the Bloodymary was yummy. Only place we stay now when we come to South Beach.

Had a fantastic daycation at this hotel rooftop pool. The staff was very attentive and we had great food and drinks. It's not a large area but never felt crowded. The pool was meticulously clean and the location was great. Highly recommend getting the cabana for extra shade.

My wife and I decided to stay a couple of nights in Miami beach after an 8 day cruise, and the Tony Hotel looked cute and had pretty good reviews. While we were on the cruise my adult son, his girlfriend and my wife's cousin and husband said that their flight home wasn't until later in the afternoon and asked if they could hang out until it was time to go to the airport. Check in time for the Tony is 1600. I sent them an email and asked about the possibility of an early check in and if it would be possible to hold everyone's luggage until their flights. I received a nice reply back within the day saying that it would be no problem. When we arrived at the hotel I went to see when our room would be ready, and they said not yet, but that would text me when it was. I then inquired about storing the luggage. After consulting with the manager they said it shouldn't be a problem, and then asked to see the email that the hotel had sent me. I showed it to them and all was good. Well almost. The bellman, a gentleman about my age started pitching a fit and started speaking Spanish with the desk person and manager. It went back and forth and then he took our luggage. He was pretty snotty to everyone while he took it. I went up the steps to the cafe to see about getting a table for lunch for all of us and nobody was around. The bellman came up, friendly now and went and got a waitress from the back. She seated out party of 8 and two tables in the empty café. She was rude and acted like we were disturbing her. When the food came and she had mixed up orders between the two tables, she just gave them snotty looks and left the plates where they were. The problem was one table ordered a grilled chicken sandwich and the other ordered a breaded. She could have simply swapped plates, but didn't. We didn't' find out what happened until later. We also didn't notice that tips are included on your bill, so she got double tips for being surly. The hotel got our room ready for us early and sent a text. I went to the bellman and he took us to our room at a different building right on the strip with a view of the beach. He was now my best friend and telling me what a great room it was. I tipped him well and he was off. The room was very nice. It was large and had a small baclony where we could watch the beach and the strip. We had a coffee maker and a large bathroom with a shower with a nice bench inside. The front desk employees were very nice and we really appreciated them getting us our room early! We really enjoyed the room, and would probably go back, but the bellman and waitress made such a bad impression with their rudeness, that's hard to want to go back.

Great day at the pool!! Definitely love the intimate atmosphere and we got chairs facing the beach. The pool is only 4ft deep but the vibe is great to enjoy Saturday afternoon in the sun. We also got some good bites from the bar. Happy hour is from 4pm -7pm and you get some good drinks and food options. I would definitely recommend checking out this location for a day pass if you're not staying as a guest. Definitely worth it!!!

While my wife was there her jewelry was in the locked safe. When she was out someone from the hotel opened the safe and Stole expensive diamond earrings and a special gold cross from Italy. She spoke to the manager Robin and he did not care to respond and could not be bothered. Also the tub shower was so slippery that an accidental slip and fall could easily have happened. A shower mat was requested but not provided. They did not have any.

The customer service at this hotel is terrible. First and foremost they wouldn't accommodate our request then placed us in a room with a leaking refrigerator we asked for service to come and clean and even left the hotel for three hours, however when we returned the water was halfway to the room. When speaking to Justin at the front desk he laughed at us when we reported the water leakage and then he started to argue with us back and forth, when approaching the desk three employees were standing around discussing our situation instead of trying to correct it. I explained to him that I was the customer and should not be treated this way since he started to argue with me and was placing the blame on Amanda the previous front desk person. He said he didn't care and that he had witnesses meanwhile the water in our room wasn't cleaned up until 3 hours later and the maintenance man said no one had notified him. As paying customers no one should be treated this way nor laughed at, Justin was extremely disrespectful, and even when asking for the managers name Robin he was hesitant to provide the name. I'm appalled at the way we were treated, as someone who frequently travels no hotel personnel has ever been so rude. Five minutes after cleaning he then proceeds to call us and offer champagne, I'm sorry but a bottle of champagne doesn't correct the situation of being disrespected. As paying customers we should not be placed in a hotel room that is unsafe with water leaking near the electric outlets. I do not recommend this hotel the customer service is terrible.

I was treated very well by this hotel! I will definitely be coming back! The staff is nice and they offer a lot more than any other hotel..

Awesome customer service!! The room is okay size. The bathroom is very small. Roof top pool is small but not bad at all. They give each guest a complimentary drink spire.

Stayed here recently from 9/1/23-9/4/23. Small boutique type hotel. On a scale of 0-10, I would give this one about a 5. It needs updating,the rooms are kinda tight. My friend and I stayed in a double room and at times it felt like too much, we were cramped. There is a restaurant on site and the food is good. 4 floors and only 1 elevator so there may be a wait for that. We're African American and there were 2 long brown hairs on the towels hanging in the room, we had braids, so I knew they did not belong to us. Fourth floor has a rooftop pool with an amazing sun deck and views for good photo opps. Quick 3 minute walk down the sidewalk to the beach. Staying at this hotel to get use of 2 beach loungers and 2 towels, umbrella to rent is $20+ tax. You just have to figure out which stand to go to. Anyways we had a very good time, not sure if I would stay here again, it looked clean but did not feel clean if you catch my drift. Also my dress needed to ironed, it is an old raggedy iron that leaked water allover dress. So hat to let it dry and steam it some from the shower. There is no ventilation in the bathroom so leave the door cracked.

This was a great choice for location, size and amenities. The staff was friendly and seemed to enjoy their coworkers which was refreshing. They gave us a rom which I sent pictures. It is a great value. 2 buildings make up the Tony. One is on Ocean Drive the other is in back of this building and they manage both. They have a beautiful lobby and restaurant/bar with a patio on the first floor. There is a beautiful porch as you enter with wicker furniture. The art deco hotel is preserved and beautiful. There is also a pool with bar on top that views the beach . Many restaurants, shopping and paved pathways close by both restaurants.

Came here on a day pass and the pool on the 4th floor has 28 lounging chairs and ONLY 8 UMBRELLAS!!! Come here if you want to cook to death on the hot, sunny, UNSHADED pool deck. How expensive are pool shades so that there at least 2 umbrellas for every 2 lounging chairs??? The shaded areas (cabanas) must be reserved ($$$) so good luck here...sux.

The hotel staff was kind and accommodating during our stay. The welcoming fruit basket was a nice surprise, and we enjoyed the rooftop pool and poolside snacks, drinks, and provided towels, even though it's a smallish area. Their gym is a small room with free weights and two exercise machines. One of the machines was not working during our stay. Our accommodations were nice, and we felt the staff tried to put us in a quiet room, as requested. We felt the small sofa and other upholstered items in the room (window seat, headboard) needed a good cleaning. Otherwise, the room was clean and may just need an update. The hotel is in a good location and thankfully a bit away from the heavier party scene. We especially appreciated the provided umbrellas, as it rained during our stay.

Beautiful hotel in the middle of everything. Gorgeous heated rooftop pool makes the place so special. It is a comfortable, unfussy place. There is staff to help you if you want it - but also you can come and go as you please. Secure and beautifully set up with furnishings, amenities, beds super comfortable, plenty of space for you and your stuff. Just lovely, seamless. Checks all the boxes. A block from the beach, there are chairs and beds for you to use there. House keeping did a beautiful job. It felt like paradise. Good for romantic weekend. Low key but special.

Amazing ambiance to this hotel. It was built in the 1940's and has the lot of history too it. It's a smaller hotel and we loved it. TJ & Jofeph worked the front during the day and both were friends and made our stay very comfortable. The pool is small which is awesome because we never experienced overcrowding. We will definitely stay here again

This was our second stay here. The location is great and the rooms are very nice with very pleasant and helpful staff. This time we were assigned a room in the annex which was different but worked out okay. The downside is that you're not in the same building as the pool so you have to walk down the sidewalk to enter the main lobby & then go up the elevator to the roof top pool & bar. But the room was spacious and pleasant and the News Cafe is a good spot for people watching and a bite to eat or a beverage.

My friend and I stumbled upon this hotel in our search for a place to escape the hot sun and enjoy an adult beverage while the rest of our crew went shopping. We entered the hotel and effortlessly located the bar once inside. This hotel is very clean and so was the bar. I appreciate the cleanliness, but equally appreciate the lack of clutter. The liquor was spaciously stationed along the bar shelves and the menu was simple to follow. Our bartender was friendly and had no issue revising my drink to my liking. I ordered the Pink champagne, but didn't desire the vodka. My friend ordered a mojito and while this drink is not my jam, I appreciate the fact the bartender took the time to perfectly muddle the mint leaves and make her a fantastic beverage. Lucky for us, the hotel wasn't busy and we were the only two at the bar. This allowed us the opportunity to have a relaxing afternoon break.

Booked this hotel through Hotels.com and saw overall positive reviews and I want to preface this with saying overall I would say we were happy with our stay, the stars being taken away is mainly just because of price. I came here for a few days to work by the pool and enjoy some warm weather. The pool is very nice, if not a little small, and in addition to a ton of tanning chairs and umbrellas they do have a couple of fully shaded cabanas available for people like me who are trying to limit their sun exposure. The cabanas are first come first serve though so on weekends you may not be able to get one. Happy hour at the pool was from 1 to 4 and they had two for one drinks switch we really enjoyed. The pool bartender was great. We did order lunch by the pool two of the days, and while the food was good it was definitely extremely expensive for what you got and it did take up almost an hour and a half for us to get club sandwiches (I noticed other people complaining about the wait as well). Our room itself was a little bit underwhelming, it was clean but the decor and furniture etc. just seem to be really old. It was pretty spacious which was nice but we were on the mezzanine floor which is technically the first floor and we didn't have any sort of view which was kind of a bummer. The area is also pretty good with the location on Collins Avenue there's a lot of restaurants within walking distance and obviously the beach is right there as well. Again I am taking away two stars mainly because the prices were kind of wild. The weekday nights we were there were approximately 300 and the weekend nights were 400 and we were kind of expecting at that price point but the overall quality of the hotel and our room would be much better. It certainly wasn't unlivable or bad though and I would definitely come back to stay if the prices were a little lower. Front desk staff and pool staff were amazing and so friendly and helpful!

The hotel is smack dead in the center of everything. The beach, bars and shopping so location is a plus. The hotel seemed a bit outdated and everything was on sale at the minibar. We didn't use it all all, but overpriced is an understatement when CVS is up the street. I enjoyed the bar though I don't think they know what's on the menu I had to ask hey did you add this? Or is it really happy hour? We went on the rooftop pool which was also a very good time! The pool was small but nice with the bar right there and a beautiful view of the ocean. I would return for convenience of course. All hotel staff was very nice and accommodating

The hotel used to be called the Tiffany Hotel until the Tiffany retailer told the owner to change its name. I was told that the owner got fed up and did not want to find another name - thus this hotel becomes "The Hotel." The bar / restaurant next to lobby serves good finger food for our party / group. This is a small hotel in the heart of South Beach - good location.

We recently stayed here one night after our cruise had ended. We had an early morning flight the next morning, so we didn't get to utilize all the amenities the hotel offered. However, we were pleased that the staff let us check into our room early (around 11am). I think we were in South Beach in a slower part of the year (Nov 30th) because everything including the hotel was pretty empty. I can imagine around Spring Break or Summer would be a different story. They offered us a complimentary room upgrade for our honeymoon to a suite room and a bottle of champagne. The suite was nice, the price was listed as $100 more than the king room we booked. After a long cruise, we turned in about 9pm to watch a movie and could hear everything happening on Collins Ave. This is a prime location if you want to walk to bars or restaurants. We walked and Ubered several places. Wet Willies is 100 feet away and the beach is 2 blocks away. The morning that we checked out, they let us store our luggage in the lobby and we walked to a coffee shop real quick. I would stay here again and would recommend it based on our experience.

This place is a 5 Star in my book! As soon as you walk in it smells so clean and presentation as well as customer service is a 10! My husband and I came from a hotel that once had 4 stars but we had a horrible experience with the chesterfield hotel down the block. This place has a rooftop pool that can fit up to 20 people comfortably, without being over crowded. The hotel is a block away from the beach so we can see the beach from this rooftop hotel. They have 2 for 1 special through the entire day. Strong drinks with great food! Amazing view and very clean hotel, with a firm bed and extremely nice housekeeping! This place gets an extra star because they let you use everything in the hotel till your flight! Our flight isn't till 8 however we are enjoying the view rooftop pool and happy hour specials they are having! If you want a good priced hotel that is clean with great staff near the beach this is it! Me and my husband will definitely be returning! Thank you for your hospitality

This hotel is great. I booked it through United and glad I did. First location is everything if you want to be on Collins in the middle of everything this is it. No need for a car. The rooms are a good size and modern. My room was by the elevator which I didn't like simply because you can hear all the people coming on and off but it wasn't bad. The staff was great David was amazing he knew all the attractions and his customer services was amazing. Also all guest who stay here get free admission to Wynwood Walls which they don't tell you I was just asking about it and that's how I found out. The hotel is very clean and has a great outside area to just sit and relax. The rooftop pool was great. I enjoyed it. I didn't see many anyone at the restaurant. The menu was good however a bit expensive,I do feel like guest should get a percentage off for dining there. Overall a great experience. I would stay here over and over again you really can't go wrong.

Really great location...right on Ocean Drive. The rooftop pool and bar is great...not pretentious. Staff is fantastic! Rooms are large and clean.

Not a bad hotel. Staff is nice and the location as well. You're one minute away from ocean dr which is nice. The rooftop pool is 4 feet deep, they have chairs around there and a small bar which is cool. I paid for an ocean drive deluxe room, it could've been better. There was no microwave so that sucks. I couldn't eat any left over food. Has a small fridge, there's a keurig in the room which wasn't that clean. Also i was hoping there would be a washer and dryer machine but i didn't see any.

The location is perfect, so nothing to say about that (close to the beach and all the restaurants). The hotel has two "towers". The main entrance is on Collins Ave and the other is on Ocean Blvd. They are not connected so if you stay on the Ocean building you have to take your luggage down the sidewalk (the hotel staff will help). I didn't find this to be troublesome since the rooms at the Ocean building are newer. You do have some trade offs: Main building: lobby, restaurant, pool, probably quieter since it's a block away from Ocean Ocean building: newer room, a bit noisier, very small lobby (almost always unattended). We chose to stay at the Ocean building and it was great. The lobby door is always locked (open with your room key) so that wasn't a problem. Even with the noise from spring break, it wasn't bad, so I imagine any other time it should be just fine. The hotel staff were great. A couple hick ups: 1. late checkout is only until noon. 2. Fernando told us that we could pay half rate to stay until 6 pm if available only to find out the next day that this was not possible, it did not exist in the hotel policy. David was great, very helpful and always with a smile. Note: use the self park (parking structure a block away) and NOT the valet. It's cheaper and the valet takes forever to bring your car (it's an outside company that provides the service). The room was very spacious (room and bathroom) and clean. There were lots of drawers which was really nice since we like to organize everything from our suitcase. A couple points for the hotel: the toilet paper could be a little better quality. I do wish there would always be a person in the Ocean building lobby and have them check your keys, just for safety. Overall a very good experience.

Beautiful hotel in the middle of everything. Walking distance to some of the best shopping and dining. Front desk and concierge staff were amazing. Some housekeeping staff members were nice, but others seemed like they didn't want to be at work. Most importantly.. don't make the mistake of leaving anything behind, because housekeeping will steal it... for sure!!! Other than the thieves that move amongst us... very nice hotel! Won't stay there again though :(

Perfect location, gorgeous rooftop pool... but by far the reason we come back is David's outstanding personality and recommendations! He makes The Tony THE place to be!!

Favorite hotel in Miami! The Staff is great! Stayed here multiple times!! They also have great breakfast and coffee

I have been a guest of this hotel several times within the past years, and prior has always been a good experience. However do this last visit I will no longer be staying at The Hotel of South Beach. My fiancé and I went with the ententions of having our wedding reception at the hotel. We had been in contact with the hotel for months via email, and notified the hotel we would be coming to view the property. However upon our arrival at the front desk and notifying them via email, no one contacted us while at the hotel about the venue. Finally the worst part of the trip, Cockroaches! You heard me right. On our last night in one of the upgraded premium room my fiancé was startled by a cockroach the size of my index finger. After killing it and calling the front desk the said they would provide a complimentary breakfast or move to another room at 11pm at night. The following morning I noticed management and spoke to one of the managers but the Front desk manager never spoke or called me about the issue. I left the cockroach in a cup for housekeeping to view and you can see the photo attached to this review. It's a real shame that such a nice hotel that I frequented on many occasions has gone down on quality so quickly. The walls need to be painted, the tile in the showers need to the done, the furniture and windows need some serious attention before I ever go back. This trip was suppose to be a reassurance towards our wedding reception, instead it just made us want to do it back home even more.

Love this place! Everyone is so nice. Gorgeous Miami Art Deco hotel with lots of charm. Rooms are big with large comfortable beds and big bathrooms; mine has a deep soaking tub. Fabulous. News cafe is on the corner. Pool overlooking the ocean plus ocean front rooms with large balconies (next visit I'm booking one). Plus 8th street shopping and close to SoFi restaurants, Nicky Beach... go to Larios for their chicken soup, it's delicious and 241 drink specials before 7pm.

This chić boutique hotel was the place we called home during our brief stint at south beach Miami. Sticking with the color schemes that define Miami,the hotel has all white exteriors with colorful vibrant room interiors. You can feel the Spanish influences from the minute you step into this place: from the open concept lobby area to the luscious green outdoor seating and warm hospitality. The hotel screams of luxurious comfort. We were greeted by wonderful hotel staff upon arrival and received two complimentary drink coupons of a delicious cocktail called "spite fire". This can be redeemed either at the lobby bar or the poolside bar. The hotel though located on Collins avenue( a block from the beach) has an newer building on ocean drive ( on the beach) however they are not connected which can painful as your baggage need lugging for a block to the that building but the main reception staff, all the hotel amenities( pool,gym) are in the building on Collins avenue. Upon arrival we were informed that our room weren't ready and would be a 25 min wait, but the staff was polite and kept us entertained with information with places to eat, alternative things to do etc. I do feel the friendly staff is a big strength to this place. They are extremely accommodating and try their damn hardest to keep you happy. Our room was trendy, brand new and clean. I loved the spacious bathroom with the amazing rain shower. Oh the delights of having a gorgeous bathroom! The one thing iffy about this hotel....is the housekeeping. After checking in we went to the beach for a bit and returned to find some of the things reorganized...the towels were folded once again. Upon questioning, we found out the housekeeping came in to check if we had enough towels(weird!). The following day we returned to find a few quarters( probably 75 cents) missing from the side table. Thought it's not a huge amount it's the ethical part of it which is bothersome. We ended up keeping all our bags under lock and key when we weren't in the room. On a lighter note, the ocean drive building has a cafe that is open 24 hrs and which is supposedly amazing... but we didn't try it. The rooftop heated pool is a show stopper. Though small,the pool has a jacuzzi on one end. The view from the top is pretty stellar! The lack of the noisy teenage beach goers makes it a nice respite! Overall a wonderful experience & definitely worth staying at!

Disappointed is all I can say only because most of the staff was so nice and accommodating but one person can just ruin your whole stay and mood!!! David was fabulous he was so nice and gave so many good recommendations. The other gentlemen were very nice as well some guy whose name started with an E at the front desk was nice and also the rooftop bartender was sweet. The housekeepers were sweet too. But what really ruined my mood was one night I went to the lobby to ask very kindly if someone was able to heat up my left over food since they have a kitchen and restaurant on site. This has never been an issue at other hotels I've stayed, people were always so gracious and willing to do so. Initially when I asked the people at the front desk were so kind and said yes but then a lady named Norma came from around the corner and completely shut them down and said no we can not heat up your food. I was shocked because the other people just said yes. And the way she said it was just so rude and for no reason. I didn't know how to process it so I said ok and went back up to my room. Meanwhile I was very upset I had all this leftover food and was trying to figure out how I could eat it without wasting it. I called back down to the front desk and asked Norma again who just so happened to answer the phone if they had a microwave they could bring to the room and again I was met with a no. So with no microwave and no one willing to heat up my food in their kitchen that they have on site I had to resort to using a blow dry. I mean a BLOW Dryer!!!! to heat up my food. Smh. This was so disappointing especially when you pay over $1,400 to stay at this hotel!!!! It made me quite upset and for this reason I had to lower the reviews. Once my cousin heard how she treated me she went downstairs to ask Norma why she wouldn't heat up my food and was told we have to buy food from the restaurant first. Wow so spending over $1,400 to stay here is not enough?!!!! Wow, just wow!! This is so wrong!!! Meanwhile she bought a glass of wine and they heated up her leftover food but by that time I just said forget it. I had already eaten my blow dryer heated food.

Eh. I mean it wasn't what I expected. It didn't reach the names potential. Just by the look of the hotel, it wasn't up to par. The place looked a bit rugged and dirty. The room was small with tiny corners. The bed was like a twin size, the bathroom was too small and it's awkward looking at yourself while sitting in the toilet (large body mirror on door), shower is tiny, etc. I ended up waking up with spider bites on my right leg; 5 to be exact. I personally don't like this hotel but the best part was being able to wake up and automatically be on Ocean Drive. This was the only best part; being able to walk and party on the strip without driving. A couple feet away and you're already on the main strip Ocean drive. I also did enjoy the rooftop pool and gym area too. I met a lot of friendly people up there. You can catch a good view of the beach and strip from on top! There is also a bar up there for good mojitos!

Our recent stay at the Hotel was wonderful: from check-in to check-out and beyond. The location is fabulous and convenient to everything, one block to Ocean Drive. The Hotel itself, a former Tiffany-owned hotel, is gorgeous and classy, a stunning example of Art Deco style, including the chandeliers in the lobby. The room was small but entirely functional with everything needed for a short stay. Only one thing bothered me: the window didn't open. The street view was great however. The staff were all pleasant and professional, with a particular shout out to the wonderful Concierge who had great suggestions for dining, etc. All in all, I highly recommend the place. Also South Beach is just too much fun

This hotel is amazing and so beautiful. I love the historic South Beach decor of the hotel, along with the set up of the rooms and all of the cool little features. The restaurant is cute and nice for brunch or happy hour. This hotel is one block from the beach and all of the fun of South Beach and Ocean Drive. I will certainly be back!

I was not a guest here as I was staying over on Ocean, but I hung out at the pool one day whilst visiting my friend who was a guest at the hotel, so this review is just for the pool. I just wanted to compliment the pool staff. Very courteous, unpretentious, and attentive. Offering to grab you a water (the free kind :o), advising there was a shift change and the new person introducing themselves, etc. Just well above average. In a world of lackluster service, good training and pleasant employees should always be both noted and appreciated.

I definitely enjoyed my stay at this hotel! Amazing customer service - the front desk recommended super awesome restaurants to try, they even called us on the first day to let us know the places we should go to, they have people who open the doors for you and occasionally try to make conversation, the pool bartenders were super nice as well and made great drinks!!! Their prices for the mini bar are not overpriced as well as the lunch/dinner menu - its the same as going out to eat. They offer 25% off dinner from 8-10pm and they also have happy hour from 5-8pm! The pictures of the hotel rooms did look nicer on the internet but I did only buy a standard room so no big deal - still a place to sleep and lay around before going out in the hot hot air. However, our toilet was easily clogged... but maintenance came up to fix it quickly!!! This hotel is clean and awesome and just a few minutes away from the beach!!! They also include free beach chairs and towels for you so if youre a beach bum, this hotel is also the one for you!!!

A really outstanding hotel with great customer service! People in the front lobby greet you all the time they're wonderful about holding your bags in case you have a late flight or come in early in your room is not ready. They actually let us check into our room earlier which was a plus. The bed was comfortable. The rooftop pool is amazing and during Tuesday to Friday it was not crowded at all except for Saturday. It's one tiny block away from the beach and they do provide you with chairs and towels at the beach. This is one of the only hotels in South Beach that don't require you to pay resort fees which is awesome. I loved it and I would recommend it to anyone.

I love it here.... Two years ago - I spent my milestone birthday here with a group of 15 and we had a BLAST!!!!!!!! I did not have a chance to leave a review "This Hotel of South Beach" is the perfect boutique hotel to be in. Perfect Location.... The premises are very clean and it smells so good. This is definitely my spot as far as South Beach is concerned. The Staff is very professional from the front desk to the concierge (John and David) to the bar staff (the bartenders at the pool area - especially) and the hotel staff who takes care of the luggage. Every one is warm and inviting. FYI.... John knows about everything that is HOT and Happening if you want to have a good time.... Club Live and Club Story packages are a definite - ask John........ There are various happy hours at various times to compliment your stay. The rooms are clean and straight to the point with a vintage/modern feel.... The beds are comfy - wifi access - Gym - pool - conference rooms and access to the beach with chairs and towels. The hotel is walking distance from most things and when you do not feel like walking - you are just an uber/lyft ride away for no more than $7 literally. You will enjoy your stay - Promise - Chow!.

I just got home from spending 5 days at The Hotel of South Beach, and it was bomb. I'm in my late 20s and my husband is early 30s, I'd highly recommend it to couples and other people within our age demographic or older (not for kids). Here are some major positives about staying at The Hotel: -Fabulous location. We didn't even bother renting a car, it was super easy to walk everywhere (this is HUGE coming from an LA native since driving is my life). Uber picked us up at the airport and dropped us off no problem (cheaper and better service than a taxi both ways). The Hotel is in the heart of South Beach, on Collins St. which has lots of other Art Deco hotels and cute shops. The beach is a 3 minute walk across the street and Ocean Ave (aka party central) is one street over but just far enough away so you aren't annoyed by the idiots acting like peacocks. -You get 2 complimentary lounge chairs, an umbrella, and towels right on the beach just for being a guest!!! Holy shit, this was the biggest surprise and the best part of my vacation. I don't know why they don't advertise it everywhere, but it's marvelous. -The staff are super outgoing, hospitable, and nice. Major props to John and David, both of them have great attitudes and personalities in addition to going above and beyond to help guests. -I came to The Hotel with my husband to celebrate our 3rd wedding anniversary, and John arranged for us to have a bottle of wine and chocolates upon arrival. Super classy and very thoughtful. If you're staying for a special occasion, take a minute to call them and let them know before you arrive. -The workout room is open until 11pm, and has a treadmill, elliptical, recumbent bike, weights, body ball, and water station. I refilled my bottle throughout the trip there. The workout room also overlooks the rooftop pool. The pool is heated, open until 8pm, and it was open the entire time I stayed there. There is a bar at the pool with multiple servers, and they play chill music. -Wifi is included with your room and is easily accessible throughout the hotel. -We had a really cool view of Collins St. from our room, which potentially could have been annoying but wasn't. It was charming looking at other Art Deco hotels and fun watching the characters below. -Ladies, the bathrooms are equipped with nice blow dryers so you don't need to lug one over in your suitcase (pro-tip: your hair is gonna end up looking like shit anyway with the humidity so don't even bother bringing a straightener). The only negatives: -breakfast is not included with your room. This is usually something I go out of my way to find, and I was bummed that it wasn't included. No worries, Pinocchio Cafe is right across the street and serves great coffee and food for prices similar to Starbucks (but waaaay better coffee and food, and run by adorable Italians). - As others have stated, the walls are paper thin and you can hear your neighbors. Luckily we had rad neighbors next door who we chatted with whenever we saw them, but I could see where this could get super awkward or downright annoying if you have shitty neighbors or you yourself are the shitty neighbor. - The minibar in your room is not really a fridge. It just keeps everything room temperature. This is inconvenient if you have medication that needs to be chilled (or just alcohol, I mean really). Overall, the negatives are easily overlooked and did not retract from our trip (they're pretty vanilla). I will most definitely be back in the future, and I'm planning on bringing more people with me. Truly an excellent experience! Final words of advice: don't rent a car, uber to/from the airport, and call ahead to let them know if you're spending a special occasion there so they can set you up with some wine and chocolates.

I've been wanting to stay at this hotel since it was renovated by one of my idols the designer Todd Oldham. Finally did it and wasn't disappointed. The hotel has been kept really well considering the renovation took place on 1998. Paired with excellent service and friendly staff, this gem of South Beach is the perfect place to relax, enjoy great food and not one but two happy hours: one at the rooftop pool and one at the lovely lobby bar and garden. Can't wait to go back.

Let's start with the good. Location was amazing and didn't need for a car. BUT. We choose a oceanfront room on ocean drive room was large but dated. There was a fridge but no microwave, ice bucket but no ice maker or vending machines in the building. It's in a separate building from main building so have to walk around the corner for ice, rooftop pool, front desk,food/drinks. Literally nothing is in that building. 2 morning in a row at 7:10AM!!! They were doing construction on the roof drilling and banging. Told front desk and asked for manager which took resort fees and valet off bill which was nice but I really wanted relaxation peace of mind and SLEEEEEEP. It was my anniversary trip which would have been great but the hotel situation put a damper on it. The main building looked nice and we wouldn't have mind staying there

This was by far the worst experience I have ever had at a hotel. We traveled 15 hours from VA with my husband and children. I booked the room online with booking.com which I will never use that website again either. I booked the room for 2 adults and 2 children which gave me 1 king bed and 1 queen bed. I even printed out the booking confirmation email that has all of this info on it. When we arrived the hotel staff advised me that the room was only one bed, a deluxe double! They said that the room I booked has only been that size of a room. They told me I could contact booking.com but there was nothing they could do except have me book an additional room for my children and that was an additional $1,024! We had to do that as we had no choice, the rooms are so small, old and outdated. In my children's room there was alcohol left in the fridge from a prior stay, only one light worked in the room and the ac would not go any lower than 70 degrees. Our room had a problem with pressure in the toilet causing maintenance to come a couple times until it got fixed. Also at check in the valet guy told us he would only charge us 3 nights instead of 4 nights but upon check out they charged me for 4 nights and said there was not note making them aware of this. The day of checkout our phone rang at 7am waking us up telling us that the night prior they were unable to park our Jeep because it was too big so it has been in the loading zone all night but now that it was morning we needed to move it. I was confused because they had not had any problems parking it before. We were so frustrated we decided to just get up and leave this city and get back home. When we got downstairs it was not even our Jeep that they called about. I would not recommend this hotel at all due to the service (lack there of) the rooms (the cost for what we got was disappointing).

Cool hotel in the once cool south beach! Loved the hotel but the neighborhood for me has gone way down. Great staff friendly and helpful. Nice sized comfy room and decent bathroom. Big plus being one block from the beach.The hotel was designed by Todd Oldham and is quirky, kitsch and fun. Roof top pool and bar is a great amenity too,
