The hotel

Art deco style and relaxed beach vibes is what the Gale South Beach is all about. On one side you've got Collins Avenue, a bustling hubbub of city lights, sights and sounds. On the other is the beach, with the relaxed promenade and white sands leading to the Atlantic Ocean. And at the Gale, you've got an infinity-edge pool to plunge into, a delicious Italian restaurant to eat at, and rooms decorated with the beach and ocean as their inspiration. However you decide to spend your holiday, make it a memorable one at the Gale.

Actually at the Gale as I write this. Came here for the weekend to meet my wife who is traveling to SoBe for work. Hotel has a great vibe to it. The hotel staff is very friendly, accommodating, and responsive. Rooms are a bit spartan, no chair, limited closet space, and a weird fridge. Club downstairs is a great place and unique.

The hotel staff is very friendly, accommodating, and responsive. Rooms are a bit spartan, no chair, limited closet space, and a weird fridge. Club downstairs is a great place and unique. The adjoining restaurant is meh with terrible wait staff and so so food but the manager makes it work an is on it. Sat on the front patio w a glass of wine waiting for my wife to fly in but was asked to move as the restaurant doesn't want people out there after closing. Just wanted to sit and watch people in the streets doing the downpour until she arrived so that was disappointing. Overall, I would come back but not for the restaurant. Read less

Great hotel, excellent location. Room was wondeful. Service was great. The front desk team was amazing, especially Priscilla, Rudy and Ignacio during check out. They helped us with something we left behind and they were helpful during our stay. We'll be back for sure!

This hotel is far below the standards expected of the Curio Collection. From the moment I arrived, the experience was disappointing. The front desk agent was unprofessional and bluntly informed me that the hotel does not participate in digital check-in—something that should have been communicated in advance. The first room I was given had multiple issues: the blinds were damaged to the point where I couldn’t even see out the window, and the lights above the bed did not function properly. After reporting the problems, I was moved to another room, but it was no better. The door would not close properly unless I physically pulled it shut, the bathroom was dirty and unkempt, and the shower head sprayed water all over the place. The blinds in this second room were also broken, the headboard was filthy (as shown in the picture I took), and the alarm clock was an embarrassment—outdated and poorly maintained. To make matters worse, the manager, Rudy, is completely nonexistent and clearly does not care about resolving these issues. How could a room with these problems possibly pass inspection? Despite informing the front desk, there was no sense of urgency or accountability from anyone on the team. For a hotel in the Curio Collection, this level of service and lack of quality control is completely unacceptable. I expected a higher standard of cleanliness, professionalism, and attention to detail but instead encountered a poorly managed property that fails to meet even basic expectations. I would not recommend staying here until significant improvements are made. Read less
