Best for

This hotel best suits travelers who want to be in the center of South Beach nightlife and steps from the sand, with Lummus Park and the beach directly across Ocean Drive. It also works well for guests who value a rooftop pool and ocean views, including those who want a kitchenette suite for longer stays. Light sleepers may prefer to plan for Ocean Drive noise, which is a recurring guest theme.

Travel tips

Because the property sits on Ocean Drive in the Art Deco Historic District, expect an active street scene that can run late; consider this when choosing room types and planning rest. Many South Beach sights are reachable on foot, including Lummus Park, Nikki Beach, The Wolfsonian–FIU, and South Pointe Park Pier, while downtown museums and Wynwood are several kilometers away. Note that in-room Wi‑Fi is covered by a resort fee, per the hotel’s published details.
