Good location - micro rooms

This hotel is very well located. The Esmé is divided over several building on Espagnola Wat. We were lucky to stay in the Drexel building away from the noise of Espagnola.

This hotel is very well located. The Esmé is divided over several building on Espagnola Wat. We were lucky to stay in the Drexel building away from the noise of Espagnola. The hotel has a nice pool and rooftop and offers beach chairs just across the street from the Betsy (5 min walk) BUT you have to pay 22$ for a beach umbrella - so free chairs but you still have to pay. The rooms are tiny. We did not use housekeeping because there was no way they could enter our room with all the luggage..if you only have a weekend bag you should be fine but we have one large and one small piece of luggage per person and that does not fit in the room. So be prepared…. We have been on a cruise and honestly even our cruise cabin was more spatious. This being said…the Esme is a nice hotel in a historical building ideal for a short stay in SoBe Read less

Poor reception duties

Upon arrival the staff receptionist took a $500 deposit for anything we used out of our fridge in our room , also for any damages we may have done , she told us the full amount would be returned on leaving .

Upon arrival the staff receptionist took a $500 deposit for anything we used out of our fridge in our room , also for any damages we may have done , she told us the full amount would be returned on leaving . On checking out , the so called Manager at the reception desk told us he would refund only a partial amount as we had used facilities at the beach !!!!, I said we had not used anything the receptionist told s about on checking in , but he stated it was policy to charge us for using a umbrella at the beach !!, thus would cost us at least half of our deposit. Now , we were not told of any monies to be taken for the beach, only in case we used drinks out of our room fridge , which we did not . After an argument with the manager explaining all what we had been told , he decided only to take $91 instead of the $500. Also on check out , another couple checking in were told they are entitled to a free cocktail for checking in and that the hotel provided free pedal bikes should they need them !!, again we were offered neither of these on our check in - very poor service. On a positive note , room was clean and tidy , some good staff , nice breakfast and good location , shame about the lack of communication between management and reception staff on what they needed to offer and what they would charge for , neither did they tell us the hotel had a part of the beach that supplied beach chairs , we only found that out ourselves whilst walking along the beach .

A great stay just off Española way

We ended up staying at Esmé hotel after our originally booked hotel had to cancel due to refurbishment works, as such our booking was automatically re-routed to Esmé. I have to say, this situation made us nervous as we are quite particular with hotels and like to research them quite thoroughly prior to booking, on this occasion the re-arrangements were done quite late - as such we didn’t have time to research. I can say we were very pleasantly surprised with Esmé, the decor, initial scent as you enter the reception area and friendly staff all made for a good first impression. Further to this, the location just off Española way was very good, it is 2 located on Washington Ave - 2 blocks West from Ocean drive & 3 blocks South of Lincoln road. I would note that due to the close proximity to Española way that it can be slightly noisy, however the rooms seemed fairly well insulated so we weren’t disturbed by this. There is a rooftop pool, bar and sitting area which looks to be pleasant - we didn’t spend much time here so can’t comment much on this. The only downside we found was with regards to parking, while this is indeed a well populated area of South Beach, the sole parking option available with the hotel is Valet which was $55 for our SUV, we used this on the first night after a lengthy day of travelling from Scotland (and circa 5 hours worth of flight / airport delays), however we opted to self park at the Municipal parking garage on Collins Ave a few blocks away for $20 per day after this. Overall a pleasant experience - would recommend Read less

Nice design and lovely staff, but be wary of the hidden fees and unfulfilled promises

Jul 30, 2025 Daniele R London, United Kingdom

The hotel was fine overall, but a few things left us disappointed. I had booked a Premium King room, but the space was surprisingly small. While the vibe and interiors were stylish and the waitstaff were genuinely lovely, the overall experience didn’t match expectations.

The hotel was fine overall, but a few things left us disappointed. I had booked a Premium King room, but the space was surprisingly small. While the vibe and interiors were stylish and the waitstaff were genuinely lovely, the overall experience didn’t match expectations. We were charged an additional $45 per night for a “village amenity fee” that wasn’t clearly disclosed before booking. This was on top of the city tax, and supposedly covered services like beach access — even if you don’t use them. The frustrating part is that when you actually go to the beach, you’re told you only get two chairs included and have to pay extra for a parasol, unless you want to roast in the sun. It felt misleading and borderline scammy — what’s the point of a resort fee if you still need to pay for basic comfort? Breakfast was also underwhelming. There’s a small buffet, but anything hot, like eggs or pancakes, comes at an extra cost. You only get boiled eggs included, which felt stingy for a hotel of this level. We apparently had VIP Access benefits, but never received the complimentary bottle of wine or any other perks. Only found out about it later, which added to the sense of being misled. In short: nice design and lovely staff, but be wary of the hidden fees and unfulfilled promises. We left feeling like the hotel prioritised upselling over hospitality. Read less

Don’t stay here if you want a good nights sleep

Jun 28, 2025 Nate M Ko Kret, Thailand

If you want to sleep at all — don’t book here. Multiple reviews with the same feedback but clearly the hotel doesn’t care. Music from the hotel roof bar so loud it rattles the windows till late at night. You’re either a night club or hotel — you can’t be both.
