The hotel

With rich history, set within an art deco landmark, Ritz-Carlton South Beach is a hotel oozing with glamour and exclusivity. DiLido Beach Club is the place to be seen, and their ‘Frose Fridays’ offer the perfect start to the weekend overlooking the oceanfront. Continue your weekend shopping and dining in South Beach, everything you need is within easy walking distance. And whilst Sunday may be considered a ‘day of rest’, we’re carrying on the party here with brunch at Fuego y Mar complete with live music and Atlantic views. If you’re looking for a more chilled break, the Ritz-Carlton Spa is perfect to relax with luxurious treatments and products on offer, or just chill by the elevated pool and let the sounds of the ocean take away your troubles.

Celebrating our 34th anniversary at the Ritz-Carlton Miami Beach was a awesome experience from start to finish. The staff made us feel incredibly special, welcomed, and cared for. Blair was exceptional—always one step ahead of our needs. Kelly resolved room issues with professionalism and kindness. Alberto, Waldo, and Noelia brought genuine warmth to every interaction. Ondor’s leadership was evident in every seamless detail. The restaurants were fantastic, the pool and beach setup were flawless, and the concierge arranged unforgettable boat rides and cultural outings. We’ve stayed at many luxury resorts, but this one surpassed them all. The service, hospitality, and attention to detail were truly next-level. We’ve already booked our 35th! Read less

We were grandparents with two grandchildren visiting for 3 nights. From check in to checkout we were impressed with everyone we met. The concierge and front desk staff went above and beyond, especially Juan who helped us resolve an issue with a tour and then had a treat sent up much to our grandchildren’s delight! Thank you for a memorable stay.

My family and I had an amazing experience at the Ritz. The hotel staff were all attentive, and friendly and they really focused on the details for our trip. We came to celebrate my son’s birthday and they made sure to make the day special for him! Every single staff encounter was great. Our room was clean, updated and well stocked. The entire hotel was managed well, kept clean and just generally felt luxurious. We really appreciated the nightly turn down service in addition to the daily organizing and towel replacement. We never had trouble finding great seats at the pool or the beach, and always had someone ready to take our order or refill a drink. We also loved the complimentary poolside sunscreen, infused water and fresh fruit treats! The kids loved that there were pool and beach toys for everyone to share! The hotel is in a very walkable area. Lots of restaurants and shops nearby and plenty of sweet places to spend the evenings. We truly loved this hotel and our experience and will absolutely recommend it as a great place to stay! Read less

Extremely disappointing experience booking this hotel. Their price match guarantee was not honored, despite their initial promises.

Extremely disappointing experience booking this hotel. Their price match guarantee was not honored, despite their initial promises. They pushed us to book directly with them under the assurance that they would match Marriott’s lower price. However, once we booked, they refused to honor the guarantee and gave us multiple excuses and misleading information. This behavior is unacceptable, and it feels like a deliberate bait-and-switch. TripAdvisor should not remove this review, as it reflects a genuine experience. Honest reviews are essential so future guests can make informed decisions. Experiences like this deserve to be seen.
