The hotel is nice and clean. The staff is friendly and informative. I booked for a Friday & Saturday night and was woken up by 9am to people shampooing the hallway carpets outside my hotel door. This went on for 2 hours! I tried to call the front desk she said they would stop but they haven't. If you like to not be disturbed in the morning after a night out in Miami do not stay here! read more

Absolutely gorgeous Spanish-style rooftop bar with upscale cocktails and sangria. The walk from Española Way to this rooftop is transporting, absolutely gorgeous architecture and design, right down to the elevator. There are two seating areas, one with terrace-feeling mosaic tables and one with sumptuous low couches. A small food menu is available as well with favorites like beet hummus and caesar salad. I tried one of the Sangrias and it was absolutely delicious. Service was excellent. Absolutely a hidden gem, must try to get off the beaten tourist path! read more

Esme Hotel Miami Beach - The Roof, bar area - Hotels Near Me - Miami, Florida

Wonderful boutique hotel right in the heart of south beach. Step out the door and you're on Espenola Way with all the great restaurants. Only three blocks from the beach where they have chairs and umbrellas for guests to use. Rooms are nice and comfortable. Love the added touch of umbrellas in the room as we got a little rain in the evening. Rooftop pool and bar were great for relaxing before heading out for the evening. Would happily stay here again read more

Had a quick weekend away to Miami, where a friend recommended we stay at the Esmé. I was particularly surprised by how quiet the Casa Manzana section was, which was priority on my list. We were upgraded to a suite, which had great space. Room service food was definitely better than most hotel's. I'd definitely come back to stay here if in south beach. read more

Stopped in to have a drink after a day at the F&W festival. So nice to sit, chose the speakeasy style bar downstairs (not the rooftop). Raymond is a mix master, our martinis were made to order! read more

I recently stayed here while attending a work conference, and it was a terrible experience. First, when I was taken to my room, the cleaning crew was still cleaning it. As I waited for about 30 minutes with the attendant that led me to the room, I was finally escorted in. About 15 minutes later, there was a knock on the door and the same attendant told me that I had move to another room. I repacked what I had unpacked and followed him to the new room. As we went in, there was a note for a customer with a name other than mine, so this new room had been set up for someone else. We finally got squared away, but it was a sloppy experience. Second, there was a loud clicking noise from the armoire and the room was next to stairwell that the staff used throughout the night. Given the thin walls, I had an extremely hard time sleeping through the night. Third, the room had ants. There were a few in the bathroom, but the worst was when I set down a snack on the bedside table for maybe ten minutes. I had set it down to attend to work, and when I went to pick it up, it was absolutely covered. Fourth, the last morning there, a false fire alarm went off at 6:30 in the morning. Also, the water pressure in the shower was excessively weak. I will never stay here again and I would recommend that others steer clear of it. The only positive is that it was in a convenient location. read more

In A Nutshell: -Esme is a decent boutique hotel in South Beach located in a very convenient location. -It's right around the corner from Espanola Way, which is a small street filled w/ restaurants & shops. -Parking can be done on the street, but not recommended unless you do short-term. -The better parking option is in the parking garage on 16th street, which is $18 per day. -The one thing I didn't like about this hotel, was whenever someone flushed the toilet or took a shower, you could hear the water running in the pipes in the thin walls. -Besides that annoying fact, the room was cleaned daily, the shower was good w/ decent shampoo/condition/soap products. -Never ate at the restaurant or checked out the rooftop. -You can borrow their bicycles (they have 4) for free, which is cool. Overall, the location is the key reason why you would want to stay here, it's not a 4 star hotel to me, more like a 3 star. read more

Didn't stay at the hotel but did have a few drinks at the bar, I believe it was called bar pinxto. If the hotel is anything like their bar.. I bet it's an amazing time. The place itself has the cutest walkways, so instagramable. I had the best Paloma and my friend had the bartender make her a tequila mojito and it was AMAZING. The drinks were good and the seating areas were secluded which was different than the busy surrounding areas on espanola way. Loved it!! It was hard to find we kinda just stumbled in there, but if you find yourself here please visit the bar it was such a great experience! read more

Esme Hotel Miami Beach - Hotels Near Me - Miami, Florida

This is one of the nicest boutique hotels I've been to. It's beautifully designed with a mix of Spanish and old glamour. The restaurants are also very cute with delicious food and drinks. It is nestled right on Espanola Way with so many restaurants to choose from. The location was perfect and only a 5 min walk to the beach. I will definitely be coming back! read more

We stayed here for nearly a week during art Basel with our 8 month old. It's the perfect location, close to the beach, walkable to art Basel, really good restaurants downstairs, across the street from GOOD coffee. It used to be a hostel and is historic so the rooms are small, it was a tight stay but the staff was so accommodating it made up for it. There is an amazing bar in the hotel so we were able to set up the baby monitor and still have a nice cocktail. I don't think they have many babies stay here but it actually ended up being perfect. Beds were comfy, we all slept well and the black out curtains helped with our her lag. Thank you Anya and staff! read more

ROACH FOUND ON BED My husband booked a last minute trip for our birthday weekend to Miami, We stayed at the Esme hotel for 3 nights, beautiful ambiance lovely staff. However, on our second night at the Esme we left housekeeping in our room to clean. Upon our return to our supposedly cleaned room I found a roach on the bed (see photos attached). Ugghhh this was so disheartening because I was enjoying my stay up until that moment. It went downhill from there, I bought it to the attention of the front desk staff and he immediately got the manager on duty. Sonia the manager on duty moved us at 1am and said at least you will have a good night rest (Tuh). A few hours later (check out 11am) we proceeded to check out and further complain to the manager on duty of our concerns and showed her the video of the roach on the bed. She apologize for the inconvenience and awarded me with a $96.50 credit off of my $957.00 room charge. Sonia the manager on duty made racist remarks towards me, she hung up on and told me she had more important things to do rather than listen to me rant about the conditions of the room I was sleeping in. She had no sympathy she basically said I was accommodated enough by having a room change and given a $96.50 booking fee refunded. Now I know race is not always the issue, however I believe when you are in a hospitality business you need to make sure your guest are accommodated to your highest ability. The fact that no one in the establishment showed any sympathy for my inconvenience. A roach in the bed I am sleeping in is not ok and it's disgusting, insulting, degrading! Who knows how many other little roaches was inside the room? I had to send all my clothes to an outside laundromat to get cleaned because I am afraid of what I could have bought back to my home. After going through COVID this is unacceptable! read more

Esme Hotel Miami Beach - ROACH FOUND CRAWLING ON BED AT ESME MIAM HOTEL - Hotels Near Me - Miami, Florida

I love the aesthetic of this place! Makes you feel your in Italy somewhere! The designer really took his time in this hotel. I love going to the rooftop in the daytime to hang by the pool. I also enjoy the evening vibes. They have awesome music. I was a bit caught off guard with my tab being $55 bucks for two drinks. It was because my partner ordered the Macallen 12 on the rocks. That alone was 26 bucks. I do feel the bartender missed the opportunity to present the top shelf spirit in a rocks glass. Instead he put it in a mojito glass with a straw. Idk I'm all about my presentation. Which is why this boutique hotel style and design makes me fall in love everytime. This is definitely a hip place to go and stay while in Miami. Right on the busy street on Espanol way. Has to be the best boutique hotel in South Beach for sure! read more

Esme Hotel Miami Beach - Hotels Near Me - Miami, Florida

We stayed here for one night and had a great experience. The decor is awesome and carries on into the rooms. We didn't mind the small size, as it was big enough for us to move freely. No issues - everything was in working order and clean. The location is awesome (walking distance from various points of interest), and the front desk is manned 24/7. Would recommend. read more

10/10 this place is stunning! From the friendly staff the moment you walk in, to the decor, the price, I will continue staying here when I'm in Miami. The location is top tier, so close to some amazing restaurants and 5 min walk to the beach. There was a live DJ on the rooftop when I stayed and the music was great. I kept telling my man he did so good picking this hotel. Rooms are tiny but it is what it is when you can't complain about anything else. They made a beautiful space with the square footage they had. Bed is comfortable. So many photo opportunities. This hotel has a soho house members ship only type of feeling to it. Highly recommended. Hidden gem. read more

I cannot say enough good things about Esme and our stay here! We booked a room this weekend while visiting from the other coast. The hotel itself is absolutely beautiful- an artists dream! The reason for taking the time to review however was the service! Wow wow wow, everyone was so nice, from the front desk staff to the waiter at the rooftop pool! Not only accommodating, as should be expected, but just pleasant and friendly people! This was a surprise to us- especially in Miami! I highly recommend! My boyfriend and I will definitely be returning! read more

On the surface this hotel is great! Location is perfect without being right on Ocean Blvd, it's clean and the staff is friendly. The downsides only show themselves once you are in your room. The barn door in the bathroom doesn't close all the way, the mattress was horribly dipped, room doesn't get super dark, room is not sound proof so you hear EVERYTHING! read more

Not sure why this hotel is rated a 4 star..and no way worth $350 a night! The pictures on their website of the rooms were in no way reflective of the room we were given (see our photos)! The hotel is made up of a number of old, restored buildings. Our room was in a building quite a distance from the main hotel lobby building and the size of the room was like staying in a closet..with the smallest bathroom we have ever had in a hotel in the USA or Europe! Because of flight delays, we didn't check into the hotel until 2 am, yet we were still charged the resort fee for that first day of our 2 night stay! We felt like we were a victim of bait and switch by the hotel, as their photos should include an accurate portrayal of their rooms..not just the larger ones with sitting areas available in the main building! Hotel Management told us there was nothing they could do for us as we booked our room thru a "third party" and we should have booked directly with their website! Still could not figure out their logic, as we always book our rooms with a third party..Capital One Travel. Buyer beware..you have been warned! $350 plus a $45 resort fee a night for this! read more

I've come to Esmé about 4 times and I'm always happy to take people to discover the magic of the hotel. I'm a bit confused on my previous (and only) review of Esmé. It was 3 stars due to several unfortunate experiences at their restaurant and it was moved from the Esme Yelp page, to "The Roof" which doesn't seem to have an association with Esme. The hotel is beautiful. Really makes you feel like you've stumbled across a hidden street in Spain. Their beet hummus is to die for. Delicious and it comes with perfectly made arepas. I'm a big fan of their tacu tacu veggie bowl. It's tasty but it's a bit consistent with the size of the bowl and the veggies it comes with. But, still a great option. I'm also a fan of their passion fruit French 75. It's again a bit consistent as sometimes it's tinted orange and other times it's closer to green. So maybe a little more consistency would be key. The servers are mostly kind, especially Alexander. He is a great server. Lovely personality, attentive, and knowledgeable. The bartender at Pinxto, Rico, was also very kind and attentive. Definitely a place to see and spend time with within Miami Beach. read more

This hotel is just the best! Beautiful decor made it feel like a relaxing place to hang out. My superior king room is tiny but there are plenty of nooks to chill around the hotel itself. I was staying by myself so it felt manageable but it would definitely be crowded with two people. The room was absolutely spotless and comfortable. A+ location in Miami Beach, close to the beach, shopping and restaurants. Would definitely stay here again! read more

Ordered a "martini" and it was lime juice. Tasted like a watered down margarita. When you charge $20 for a drink with auto gratuity you should make a martini taste like a martini. Bartender / server need improvement read more

Esme Hotel Miami Beach - Esmé roof top - Hotels Near Me - Miami, Florida

1. Our room was dirty. Floors not vacuumed, curtains had a blood stain, shower did not drain properly which led to a huge flood in the shower, worst of all when we got in bed for the night there were hairs and dirt/sand particles in the bed. This was the last straw for my girlfriend and I. We called, they switched us rooms. No upgrade. The inconvenience to pack and move at 11p wasn't great. 2. After being in our new room, we never got room service cleaning for the remaining days. We stayed with the same bath towels and wash cloths. I called on the final day to inquire and I couldn't get a straight answer from staff. When I asked if some new towels could be brought up the staff member said she couldn't guarantee it because the cleaning staff had left. We never got fresh towels that night. 3. I tried to resolve these issues with a manager and have never gotten a phone call back. 4. There is a new random charge on my card for $299 from Esme hotel. read more

I booked three days with Expedia got charged for three days but when I was ready to check in I was told I only had one night so I asked for a refund was not given a refund still trying to make fun of my situation and show my wife a great time I checked in we were told about the roof top bar the other club with the live band. So excited we went to our room got freshened up expecting to experience the roof top bar and the club down stairs to our surprise we got neither. The club was booked for a private event the roof top bar never opened and instead of enjoying the amenities of the hotel we did nothing cause we could not do anything we were not allowed in the club it's was miserable sitting in that tiny room only plus was the extra small balcony. Definitely not worth the 600 dollars for one night and Expedia and this hotel ripped me off and I do not suggest this place to any one unless you are under 5 feet the room is small! Very irritated the workers seemed nice but not knowledgeable of what's going on. The hotel should have reimbursed me and provided another place to go since they decided to book the clubs for private events and leave the paying guests stranded. read more

This hotel is so dreamy! I'm all about the vibes and all of the spaces in this hotel have been so lovingly designed! I stayed in the king and the bed was so comfortable. - I'm really picky about hotel bedding being gross and it was so clean and lovely. - Great shower pressure and my room has beautiful pink tile with brass fixtures. LOVE. - This seems silly, but they bought full sized, professional hair dryers and I have a lot of hair so this was so nice! - I ate multiple times at the roof bar and the food was fantastic! Fun pool cabanas too! I got the green goddess salad and the shrimp & rice bowl during my stay and they were so tasty. Good drinks too and really friendly bar staff. I'll be back again! read more

Rooms did not look like pictures, very small and dirty. Watch out for extra fee's for things you do not want or need. Complementary breakfast was not included. You have no choice but to pay for valet parking because there is no public parking. The only thing I liked about the hotel was the location. Know about the extra charges and parking before you book. Thank God I brought my own blankets and towels it would have been worse. The actual event was at a different hotel that had bad reviews and it was better than this hotel. Research before you go. read more

Esme Hotel Miami Beach - This is the mini bar at the bottom, small mini fridge. - Hotels Near Me - Miami, Florida

I loved my experience at this Spanish boutique hotel, so cozy yet modern takes, the atmosphere was friendly yet chic. The location can't be better on the the Espanola Way Plaza, so many restaurants and European atmosphere was great! Although I traveled during spring break time it was so far removed from that cheap party time! A certain civility was in place, as a solo female traveler I always felt safe. Staff was so friendly & helpful especially Tom one of the bell men, Angel from the breakfast salon, remembered my American coffee & great breakfast suggestions & Alexander a server on the rooftop within his great attention! area to name a few outstanding employees, although after hugs with Alexander & Angel after my stay I can say I will be back!

Esme Hotel Miami Beach - Non descript but well worth it! - Hotels Near Me - Miami, Florida

I booked last weekend for a girls trip with my best friend. We got a room to share that wasn't the cheapest, nor the most expensive, it was somewhere in the middle and it was the smallest room we've ever stayed in. From the bed to the wall we had to shuffle to squeeze by to the bathroom, and had to put our suitcases underneath the bed cause there wasn't space to put them anywhere else. We tried to upgrade but there wasn't anything available, so we decided to stay since there wasn't much else we could do last minute. There were no microwaves in the room, which isn't the biggest deal in the world, but they wouldn't even let us use the hotel microwave because the food wasn't from their restaurant, so we couldn't even take any leftovers which was a huge bummer. Also, Miami in June is HOT, and the hotel didn't offer water to the guests, I asked the front desk and they said they said they were out so we would have to drink the ones provided in the hotel fridge, which is a charge of like $7 each for tiny water bottles. Luckily we made our way to the rooftop where they had available water, but that was much later, after I had spoken with front desk, which they did not tell me about the available water. Furthermore, Saturday morning we decided to get room service and everything we ordered was wrong, and when I called to tell them, they apologized and said they would bring the sour cream they forgot and the correct juice, and 20 min later we still hadn't gotten it so I called again and then they brought the juice minutes later. Shortly after eating, there was a dog barking uncontrollably next door so my friend went to speak to the front desk and they said they would upgrade us and comp our room service order which was very nice of them. The room that we got upgraded to had more room but still wasn't anything to rave about but we were content...Until we got our hotel receipt and saw that not only did they not comp our room service that they said they were taking care of, but that also there was a daily charge of $32.10 for a village amenity fee which they charge every guest to use the pool, bikes, and non existent ( that we were aware of ) gym. Overall this was not the best experience, I do not know what all the great reviews are all about. Understandably, I give it that is in the best location, walking distance to all of South beach bars, restaurants, and beaches and a short Uber to airport and downtown, but the hotel is dark, the pool was small, and the rooms are even smaller with no balcony. read more

Esme hotel in Miami is a hidden gem , with cozy rooms, beautiful decorated, comfortable beds, clean, excellent coffee and amazing staff . I never stayed in a hotel where everyone was so helpful and genuinely friendly ( no fake smiles ) Sanja their front desk manager is so kind and welcoming and made sure our stay was perfect . If I have to complement everyone will take a lot of words . I am surely impressed and definitely will be back ! read more

The ambiance is spectacular with unlimited choices of custom drinks. You're able to do a late night swim, order a bar on the lounge and have a restaurant vibe by the bar. They did change the menu in the evening which was a bummer for me since I loveee their tuna tartar during the day, haven't had the night tuna tartar but I'm sure it's yummy read more

Was looking to host an event at Esme Hotel. Had an initial call with Alena Sarduy, the Sales and Social Media Coordinator. Firstly, she was late to our initial call. Secondly, after our initial call she said she was going to follow up with additional information and never did. I emailed her 2-3 times afterwards asking for pricing and she just never replied or responded. Unprofessional. Wouldn't advise any companies or organizations to host an event at this venue. read more

My husband and I visited El Salon bar/lounge in the Esme hotel last night. We were looking for an upscale venue with well crafted and curated beverages. El Salon is tucked away inside the 1st floor of the hotel and offered us precisely the experience we were looking for. Dave the bartender prepared delicious cocktails while maintaining a companiable banter. Our server, Marisol, was professional and attentive. We strongly recommend this bar for people who identify as adults seeking a sophisticated atmosphere and a respite from the crowds and noise of the south beach streets. read more

We absolutely LOVED this place. We were staying at another hotel nearby that had the shower right in the middle of the room so we decided to change hotels. Esme has few reviews so we were skeptical but when we went to visit, we fell in love. This hotel was just fully renovated 4 months ago, keeping to their old world charm but bringing in a new and fresh look. They did such a fabulous job. The rooms are beautiful. The courtyards are just so charming. The staff is very attentive and helpful. Location is right on the corner of Washington and Espanola way. Lots of great restaurants nearby. One drawback is that they only have king size beds. Other than that, it's a winner. read more

MARCH 2023: I stayed at Esme for my birthday in early January 2023 and after complaining about faulty electricals and noise in our room we were moved to another room. The staff at the hotel asked us to leave our belongings and they would relocate us. They did so, however left 2 bottles of champagne, and birthday cards in envelopes that were in the room. The bottles were returned, and gift cards were not - (they had money in them). I chased the team over the period of our stay and was assured they would be returned. This never happened and we then lodged a full investigation. Night manager Elmar apologized profusely when we checked out and promised me they would sort this out and come back to me asap. I was charged for the stay randomly 1 month later and when I called was told the investigation found no items were taken. I spoke to Sanja the manager and she apologized for the delay and lack of communication and offered me to come stay again so they could look after us. I was refunded and Sanja was to follow up on the investigation again. I was recharged again on March 2 - and on calling have been told there was no further info and I had to pay for the full stay with no compensation. Incredible lack of communication, no coordination between guest relations teams and management. Sanja informed me she would have to escalate to management again and will come back to me. read more

Such a great place, it's not like you necessarily want the whole world to know:). But it's so good. We were concerned at first, it's on a very busy street, the room was dark and small when we first saw it, but in the end none of it mattered. The rooftop area has this adorable pool and many couches for lounging, the decor is gorgeous, the staff is kind and endlessly helpful, one of the best of any hotel ever, and don't forget the the super comfortable bed plus the decent food....yes we love it here. Much better than we anticipated! read more

How is this place so bad with such great reviews? I'm posting this on my friends behalf who doesn't have a yelp account. Be weary of all the great reviews. It's very confusing either we were outliers or everyone has extremely low expectations. The beds on the rooftop are dingy and dirty. The rooms are extremely small and DARK. And above all, staff are extremely incompetent. I have a huge bruises on both legs because the room is so tiny and hard to maneuver with the pointiest foot board that you'll continue run into. The first room we stayed in the AC broke. When we called the front desk and they sent someone out who then said that was a normal temp (would not get lower than 79 degrees) but then offered us a room down the hall that bad "better" AC. We were moved to a room COVERED in ants. We slept there for the night because initially we couldn't tell how bad it was (the rooms literally do not illuminate at all it's DARK in there) we saw the ants but didn't think it was THAT bad. We wake up to ants in our bed and all over the place. We call the front desk and explain why we want to leave early and get our money back. My boyfriend listed the reasons we were unhappy (the AC, then the room move, ants) which the front desk person replied "we don't have record of your complaint about your AC". Girl, how did we switch rooms then? Did we break in? It took much back and forth with them to get our moneys back for the day we didn't stay there. Which we got back 6 days later. She tried to tell us since it was through Expedia we couldn't get our $ back which is anything but true because Ive had to do this with a hotel before. Have they never dealt with a complaint in their life? Their staff doesn't know anything. The hotel emailed us saying if we stay there again we'd get a discount. What would make this right would be more financial compensation for having to sleep on ants. Anyways, attached are pics & videos of the bugs. read more

Avoid it at any cost! Hidden fees and overcharging services. The photos you see are facade.
