    Primarily Bedroom

    There are so many hotels in Miami, while Gale is close to the brightline and cruise port, we would probably stay at another hotel next time. This is both a hotel and an apartment building. I have stayed in similar situations previously, but often the residences have a completely different entrance or separate elevators or banks of elevators. This was not the case. The wait for the elevators was long, often the doors would open to full elevators, and the lobby area by the elevators is far too tight for guests with luggage or a luggage cart. Our suite itself was smartly designed and had gorgeous balconies and views. We all slept comfortably and I had fun playing with the nespresso machine. My favorite memories though will be letting a young couple see our view, talking about cruises with them, our impromptu photo shoot in the window, and watching the cruise ships turn in the basin. If you need an atm or drugstore be prepared for a fun journey to the most exciting CVS, you might see $2k electric bikes, $5k Pomeranians, and more all inside the store!

    I really enjoyed my stay here. They had several promos going on at the time of my visit, which made pricing fair. Check-in was easy and front desk service was friendly. The 2 bedroom suite was perfect for my group and equipped with most of the things we needed--- a trial size laundry detergent in the room would have been helpful. The amenities were great- hotel restaurants, pool, gym, and spa (although I didn't use the spa). The only real issue I had was the elevator. The wait times for the elevator at check in/out and around dinner was VERY LONG. Don't attempt to get anywhere fast during that time.

    Beautiful views, top-notch staff, just a few "surprise" rules and prices Gale Miami Hotel & Residence is genuinely stunning. The property is beautiful, the views are unreal, and the staff is truly top notch from check-in to poolside. That said, there are a few things worth knowing before you go. You can't even bring a bottled water by the pool, which felt overly restrictive. The shop pricing also isn't always clear, we thought we were grabbing a quick bottle of wine to sip while getting ready for dinner and it ended up being $94. The pool area is gorgeous, but pool chairs are a hot commodity, and the sun is pretty limited past 1:00, so plan for an earlier pool day if that's a priority. One big plus, security is pleasantly visible. Not overbearing at all, but I absolutely felt safe and looked after the entire time. Overall, I'd come back for the atmosphere, service, and views. Just go in knowing the pool policies and prices can catch you off guard.

    I seriously have to give the biggest shout-out to Agustin and Daniel Vallet at The Gale Hotel (159 NE 1st Ave). These two are absolute gems. Agustin was nothing but patient, kind, and genuinely helpful from the second I walked in. You can tell he actually cares about people and loves what he does -- he went above and beyond without me even having to ask. Truly one of those rare "solid human beings" you just don't meet often anymore. And Jessica, Gerald, Santiago, & Daniel... what angels! Multiple times this stellar valet staff helped me out with top notch service. They consistently showed me nothing but compassion, professionalism, & kindness. They are thoughtful, understanding -- total sweethearts & absolute assets to the Gale Family!!! Give them a bonus!!! Together, they all made my experience here 10x smoother. Hotels can be gorgeous, but it's the staff who make a place unforgettable, and Agustin, Jessica, Gerald, Santiago, & Daniel are exactly those who leave a lasting impression in the best way possible! If you're staying at the Gale, -- with these gems, you're in the best hands.

    Great location, 4-5 blocks from everything (restaurants, Miami Heat stadium, shopping, etc.). Great views, amenities. If you want a good meal, for off property. Hotel options are not a value for the $ spent.

    VRBO listing

    I booked a stay at the Gale Miami through Vrbo on August 7, 2025, for two nights. The Vrbo listing clearly stated "all fees included, no hidden fees", and I paid a total of $501.00 (nightly rate of $224 per night plus a $53 service fee). The Vrbo app also showed I was paid in full. When I arrived at the hotel, I was blindsided with additional charges. I was required to pay $180 in cash for valet parking, and then they also charged my card for the same valet -- double charging me. On top of that, the Gale Miami inflated the nightly rate by adding a $29.12 VAT fee to each night, making it $253.12 per night instead of the $224.00 Vrbo quoted. They also tacked on a $39.55 per night "destination fee," which resulted in an additional $585.34 charged at checkout. When I questioned these charges, the hotel's only response was: "This happens all the time with Vrbo." If that's the case, here's a tip: maybe fix your listing on Vrbo so guests aren't misled by false "no hidden fee" promises. This is false advertising and misleading. Vrbo promised no hidden fees and that I was fully paid, yet I was charged hundreds more. Vrbo needs to hold its property partners accountable because this experience felt like a scam. Travelers, beware: Vrbo's "paid in full" and "no hidden fees" promises cannot be trusted. And just imagine how many times you've trusted Vrbo (or the hotel you're staying in) and didn't check your statement--you might never know you were overcharged.

    Casa Gianna is a great restaurant. The meatballs were like my grandmothers, the chicken part and bucatini had so much flavor, the cocktails were strong and delicious. We also love the spicy rigatoni! Service is phenomenal. Can't wait to come back and try more here!

    This is a gorgeous property in a prime location with spectacular views of the city and port of Miami. Parking is slightly tricky, to find affordable parking we had to park 3 to 4 blocks away, luckily, we enjoy walking. There's also a $30 overnight garage .3 miles away. The Wi-Fi is simple to use, the living area is cozy with a large television, a full kitchen, coffee maker, oven, stove, top, microwave, toaster, fridge and freezer, plenty of glassware a dishwasher, and even a washer and dryer. The bed as well as the shower and bathroom are spacious and gorgeous. We especially enjoyed that the balcony is almost as big as the apartment itself. It has four chairs and two tables which is perfect for enjoying cocktails and food. There are plenty of wonderful restaurants and things to do within walking distance. It is also located conveniently near the Free Metromover. The front area is secure, and has complimentary lemon water, and the elevators are high-tech with usage of the key fob and a touchscreen. There is a remote control to control the air conditioning, different outlets at the bedside, and even convenient night lights under the night stands. We love the quiet hours from 10pm til 7am as well, and the pool opens at 7am, which is lovely. The pool area is in a word: fabulous! The views are simply incredible, and there's a bar as well as restrooms, plenty of seating, and outdoor and indoor lounges next to the pool as well. We loved our stay here!

    I booked my room two months in advance. I received a very good rate on the room. A week before my stay I had credit card fraud and the card that I had put for the deposit had to be canceled. I did not realize that the Gail never charged it yet they charge it 24 hours before your visit so of course it got denied. They sent me an email which I did not see saying I had two hours to respond and take care of the bill For my stay the following day. I didn't see it quick enough and my reservation got canceled. I was freaking out. They confirmed that the reservation had been canceled and when I looked online to book, the same room was now four times The price. I was devastated. I called and spoke with Andrés. He assured me not to worry that their policy is when I get to their hotel the following day I just show them that I had a reservation. Tell them what happened and they honor that reservation since there was a glitch. I still was nervous. When I got to The Gail, I had absolutely no problems. They treated me extremely kind and friendly. I only did they take care of me, but the walk-in rate was a few dollars less than what I had originally booked for. I was ecstatic. my room was ready early. I believe check-in isn't until 4 PM but I arrived at noon and my room was ready and they allowed me to go to my room. My room was immaculate, pleasing to the eye, and spacious. The room I got was a one bedroom suite with a balcony. The balcony was much larger than I had ever anticipated with chairs and furniture out there to sit on. I haven't checked out all the other amenities yet so I'll probably wind up updating this but so far I'm extremely pleased with service and quality.

    I loved the hotel, the huge gym, and roof top pool. The staff were amazing and room is cleaned everyday.

    We attended a wedding reception at the Penthouse at Riverside Wharf in downtown Miami and had a…read morewonderful time. This is a great event venue mainly for a couple reasons: 1. It has excellent elevated views of the Miami skyline to the east and the Miami River, boats, and the W Flagler St Drawbridge (historical landmark, built in 1938) to the west. I believe the penthouse is located on the 10th floor of a relatively new building. 2. The venue is modern and versatile. The inside spaces (including restrooms) had a clean, updated look. For this event, there were multiple bars and food stations set up both indoors and outdoors. The dance floor was outside. The combination of string lights, rooftop patio decor, and the city skyline was beautiful. There was only one elevator to get everyone up and down, so there was a bottleneck there. They brought in a fire dancer to perform outside on the rooftop, which was really cool.

There's limited street parking, but there's an adjacent parking lot. I'd recommend using a valet service if you are hosting an event here. I absolutely loved the views here, which is why this place gets 5 stars!

However, there were some hiccups with the food and portions. The service was good. They always stayed on top of refills and ensured we had everything we needed. I ordered the charcoal grilled octopus appetizer and the grilled lamb chops with two sides. The food was delicious. However, It's a little embarrassing to charge 28 dollars for 3 small tentacles of an octopus one being so tiny, that it was burnt to crisp. Second, grilled lamp chops for $47 with no sides? Ordering the sides separately, the exotic wild mushrooms for $16 were salty. Creamy mashed potatoes $14 were delicious. So, essentially a complete dish was $77. My business partner's short rib was short on the rib but still tasted good. You're not even a one Michelin-star restaurant to command these prices for the portion. I do not mind paying more but not for these portion sizes, $105 without the cocktail, no thank you. The fine dining experience is overrated in today's market. Your staff, ambiance, and flavor of the food, saved this review. One and done.
