Editorial Review for The Hotel of South Beach – by Citysearch Editors

The Scene
This luxury hotel was built in 1939 in the heyday of the art-deco craze. It was designed by architect L. Murray Dixon and was once known as the Tiffany--the old neon sign remains. The rooftop pool and bar overlook Ocean Drive, the Atlantic Ocean and beyond. Guests enjoy convenient proximity to sand, surf and boutique shops.

The Details
The 53 spacious guest rooms and suites, as well as public areas, were furnished by fashion designer Todd Oldham in 1998 during the hotel's restoration. His signature funky touches are evident throughout, from brightly colored mosaic tiles in the bathrooms to gem-colored Murano glass lighting fixtures in the restaurant. Guest room amenities include CD players, wireless Internet access and bath products by the White Company of London. The acclaimed indoor/outdoor garden cafe, Wish, serves American cuisine with contemporary Asian highlights in a tropical ambience. The hotel also offers a conference room and video-production facilities.

I love this hotel! I have stayed here about 5 or 6 times and always enjoy it. The rooms are small but functional. The rainfall showers are great especially nice if you're tall like me. Despite some of the other reviews, I really find the staff to be nice and helpful. They really know the area as well and can help you with any type of bar or restaurant info. The one exception is the valet. They are contracted by the hotel and are really SLOW! Expect 20 - 30 minutes to get your car. Not a good value for the $25 per day. I recommend street parking. It's surprisingly easy to find and you can park for four hours on your credit card for $1 per hour. and overnight is free! The best part of this hotel is the rooftop pool. It is simply gorgeous! It is a great place for the fun people have fun. There is a great view of the beach and lots of comfortable chaises. The pool is topless and, in general, that's the rule. It's a very relaxed scene and my girl enjoyed wearing as little as possible and getting rid of her tan lines. Feel free to loose your inhibitions at this pool. Truly South Beach at it's best! The pool bartenders are really great too, especially Martin and Calisto. They are very relaxed and have fun and will really take care of you. Try one of the house specialty frozen mojitos. But, please do not bring your kids here.

Pros: Rooftop pool

Cons: Valet parking

Front desk service is non-existence. I got such attitude checking in/out - hello, I'm giving you money, not begging to stay there. But the other staff members were great...the hotel's clean, though it SCREAMS IKEA. I had a good time with my friends but would NEVER stay there again.

Pros: Front desk attitude

Cons: Great location
