The hotel

W South Beach Hotel enjoys an ocean frontage the length of a football field! An ultra-modern establishment, this hotel is inspired by Miami Beach's exolution as the 'American Riviera'. The studios and suites are some of the largest in Miami Beach, and not only beautifully furnished but they all have balconies and enjoy uninterrupted views of the sea. Cool off at WET Deck lounge in a luxe cabana, or take your shot at the hotel's rooftop basketball or tennis courts! W's pritine beach is perfect for a stroll at sundown, and well - then there's the food. With restaurants in New York, Beverley Hills, Seoul and London, the famed Mr Chow is now in Miami courtesy of W South Beach, serving delicious Beijing cuisine in a very trendy setting. There's also The Living Room where you are surrounded by art including original works by Andy Warhol, Jean-Michel Basquiat, George Condo and Kenny Scharfand, and can enjoy your cocktail to the sound of a live DJ spinning beats. Whilst the hotel can keep you entertained for days, when you do leave you've got galleries, museums, nightlife, and an extremely impressive culinary scene, all on your doorstep.

As a long time guest I'm happy to report that there are some really great upgrades happening at the W South Beach. Front desk staff(Tish) is very friendly, concierge (Sole) were kind, helpful and accommodating - especially when needing to extend the stay....again. Really great expansion of the daily amenities/activities. Rooms are well maintained, clean & spacious. Housekeeping were all sweethearts. Familiar faces doing the towels and pool chairs is always nice, maintenance men fixing some of the worn deck areas and vendors measuring curtains for the cabanas show that the property is still being maintained. Upgraded furniture in the living room and an overall more organized, neat & clean feeling in the lobby all point to new management really trying to improve the property and stay - and doing a great job so far. Location hasn't changed(obviously) - with easy access to Lincoln Road, the boardwalk, SoFi and more. House car service was available daily and helped whisk us off to dinner on a couple of occasions. F&B program leaves a lot to be desired...a lot a lot. But every other aspect of the hotel & property is exceptional for this price point. Can't wait to rerun again. Read less
