The Bal Harbour Shops are less than a mile away and the hotel offers complimentary transportation there. South Beach is about a 15-minute drive, and Wynwood, the Pérez Art Museum and downtown attractions are roughly 13–15 km away, so plan on driving or a car service. Spa waterfront treatment suites carry a surcharge, so confirm pricing when booking. Since one review mentions renovation closure plans, check the hotel's current operating status before booking.
What guests say
Guests praise the valet and check-in staff, including a named manager, and one enjoyed a lunch of shrimp cocktail and a burger. Another simply called the visit excellent. The negatives are serious. One guest reported a 45-minute breakfast wait and left, citing slow restaurant service. Another alleged that housekeeping took cash from their luggage and was dissatisfied with the hotel's investigation and management response. These are individual accounts, and they contrast with the high overall rating.
