The Betsy – South Beach

The Betsy may appear understated amid Miami’s hyper-glamorous hotel scene, yet its classic character is precisely what sets it apart. One of the last Georgian-style buildings on Ocean Drive, the hotel was fully restored in 2008 and has since become a refined retreat for guests seeking both luxury and calm.

Interiors blend contemporary tropical-colonial design with cheerful tones—from soft lilac to golden yellow—set against Miami’s iconic bright whites. The hotel offers 62 spacious and elegantly appointed rooms, all equipped with modern comforts and high-end amenities.

Dining is centred around Laurent Tourondel’s acclaimed steakhouse, open for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Guests can unwind on the rooftop terrace with its panoramic ocean views, relax by the outdoor pool, or stay active in the fitness centre. The Betsy remains a distinctive and stylish counterpoint to the city’s many pools, nightclubs and high-energy hotspots.
