“What strikes me is the Art Deco design coupled with modern comforts, a pairing that sets a distinct tone. The heated pool in the central courtyard offers a relaxing escape, while weekly wine tastings hint at a more curated experience. Its proximity to South Beach and Lincoln Road is undeniably convenient, but the family duplex suites are a genuine find for those traveling with children.”

Wonderful Boutique Hotel Stay

convenient locationart deco styleclean roomhelpful staff

This hotel impressed me. The hotel's location was convenient, close to shops and the beach. My room was clean and the Art Deco style added a lot of charm. Alba was very helpful with directions and recommendations, and I really appreciated that.

The air conditioner in my room was quite loud. It was hard to sleep well with it running.

The breakfast service provides fresh options from 8 AM to 10 AM, including hot and cold dishes. Seating is available both indoors and on the patio, overlooking the pool. Fresh fruit juices were a good addition.

Acceptable Stay with Some Issues

convenient locationunpleasant viewloud air conditioning

The location was convenient. I could walk to nearby attractions.

The room I was assigned faced a less-than-ideal view of what looked like a storage area. This wasn't pleasant to look at from my window and affected the overall ambiance of the room. the room's air conditioning unit was quite loud. It made it difficult to sleep soundly at night despite adjusting the settings multiple times.
