Franklin Suites South Beach - One-Bedroom Apartment
Guest rating: 5.0 / 5
Overview
Franklin Suites South Beach is a self-catering, one-bedroom apartment set in the South Beach district of Miami Beach, just a few minutes' walk from the Art Deco Historic District. The air-conditioned, smoke-free unit is designed for guests who want a residential base with the comforts of home rather than a traditional hotel room.
Rooms & Layout
The apartment is arranged as a separate living room, a private bedroom, and a bathroom with a shower, sleeping guests across two beds. In-room touches include a wardrobe, seating and dining areas, a flat-screen TV with cable channels, and heating and air conditioning for year-round comfort.
Kitchen & Amenities
The fully equipped kitchen includes a stovetop, oven, microwave, refrigerator, dishwasher, and kitchenware, along with a tea and coffee maker, letting guests prepare their own meals throughout their stay. Additional conveniences include free Wi-Fi, an ironing board, an elevator serving the building, and a crib available for younger travelers.
Location & Surroundings
The property sits within easy walking distance of several bus stops on Washington Avenue, and multiple Cuban, Mexican, Colombian, and Latin American restaurants sit within a two-to-three minute walk, including Havana Vieja, Sola Miami Beach, Garden House, and Azteca South Beach. Miami International Airport is roughly 16 km away, while Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport is about 32.5 km away, and area landmarks such as New World Center, Lincoln Road, and the Miami Beach Convention Center are also nearby.
Best for
This apartment suits couples, small families, or groups who prefer preparing their own meals and want a walkable South Beach base near the Art Deco Historic District. The fully equipped kitchen, in-unit laundry-adjacent conveniences like an ironing board, and proximity to numerous casual dining options make it well suited to longer stays or travelers who value flexibility over full hotel services.
Travel tips
Several bus stops, including Washington Av & 9 St just steps away, make it easy to reach other parts of Miami Beach without a car. Guests flying in should plan for roughly a 15-minute drive from Miami International Airport, with Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood as a more distant alternative. Since the area is dense with Cuban, Mexican, and Latin American restaurants within a few blocks, it's worth exploring on foot rather than booking dining in advance.
