6565 Collins Ave, Miami Beach, FL 33141, Miami Beach, United States
3-star hotel
Guest rating: 3.1 / 5
Overview
The Sherry Frontenac Oceanfront Hotel is a 1947-built art deco property on Collins Avenue in Miami Beach, an address historically known as Millionaires Row. Its striking towers and oceanfront setting reflect the classic architectural character of the neighborhood, and the hotel sits just a two-minute walk from Allison Park. As a 3-star property, it offers a mid-range beach vacation base rather than a luxury experience.
Rooms
Guest rooms are warmly furnished and available with either ocean or city views. Each room includes a 27-inch TV, cable channels, air conditioning, and a wet bar with a minifridge, giving guests a bit of extra convenience for snacks and drinks during their stay.
Dining
Free breakfast is served each morning in a TV-equipped lounge, though guests should note the standard offering leans toward continental items like cereal and fruit rather than hot dishes. The property also has an on-site casual restaurant and a sports bar for additional dining and drinks without leaving the hotel.
Amenities & Recreation
Recreational facilities include an outdoor pool with an 80-foot lap area, a fitness center, a beauty salon, and a game room with pool tables. Wi-Fi is available in common areas (paid), and paid parking is offered on-site, though availability has been inconsistent for some guests.
Location
The hotel sits directly on Collins Avenue in Miami Beach, within a few miles of major attractions including the Fontainebleau Miami Beach (about 3.5 km), The Bass museum (about 5.8 km), Miami Beach Botanical Garden (about 6.2 km), and Haulover Park (about 6.9 km). Farther afield, guests can reach Wynwood Walls, Pérez Art Museum Miami, and Bayside Marketplace, all roughly 9-10 km away, making the hotel a workable base for exploring both the beach strip and greater Miami's cultural sites.
Best for
This hotel suits budget-conscious beach travelers and couples or groups who want an oceanfront Collins Avenue location with classic art deco character without paying luxury prices. It also works for guests who value on-site recreation like the pool, fitness center, and game room, and for those who prioritize location and price over polished service, per guest feedback.
Travel tips
Given the mixed reports on parking availability and extra fees, guests planning to drive should confirm parking arrangements directly with the hotel before arrival. The hotel is walkable to Allison Park and within a few kilometers of Fontainebleau Miami Beach and The Bass museum, so comfortable shoes are useful for exploring Collins Avenue on foot; a car or rideshare is recommended for reaching Wynwood, Pérez Art Museum Miami, or Bayside Marketplace, which are 9 km or farther.
What guests say

Other negative themes include inconsistent parking availability despite advance booking, occasional room odor issues, slow or understaffed check-in, air conditioning problems, and dissatisfaction with housekeeping responsiveness and towel supply. Some reviewers also mention frustration with additional fees and inconsistent service quality among staff.
