I had a beautiful breakfast at LT Steak & Seafood during my stay at The Betsy. The menu has a nice mix of healthy and more indulgent items. While I sat in the dining room they also have lovely outdoor seating, both covered and uncovered. The morning I was there was not crowded, but the service was exceptionally slow. To help compensate, the waitress took my coffee off the bill which was thoughtful. She was also very aware of, and apologetic for, the wait time. The breakfast itself was delicious. The omelette rice and beautifully prepared with a perfect light and fluffy texture. The potatoes were crispy on the outside and soft on the inside and the greens were nicely dressed. The other food I saw being served was all equally well presented and looked delicious. Value: 3/5 (prices are steep) Service: 4/5 Ambiance: 4/5 Food: 5/5 read more

OSCAR provided us with elevated dining experience for a special occasion. Every morsel of our dinner was presented beautifully and tasted out of this world.

We will definitely return when we are in the area. A MUST TRY! read more

This was my first time visiting the Betsy Hotel LT restaurant and I went for Valentine's Day. So I'm not sure if the items are on the daily dinner menu, since it was a special Valentine's Day menu. I must say everything that I tried was absolutely delicious. The service was excellent, we had reservations for 8:30 dining and sat right away. They even gave us complementary Prosecco, which a nice touch and complementary tuna tartare appetizer, I was blown away by their generosity. I love mini touches like that, that make guest feel welcomed and appreciated. As my entrée , I went for the ricotta mushroom pasta, it's not a cute photo, but it was so delicious. It was the perfect balance of texture from the mushrooms and savory flavors from the ricotta filled pockets of pasta. The house made bread was crispy on the outside, soft on the inside and deliciously paired with their grass fed butter. For an appetizer, we had the Wagyu sliders and crabcake. The crabcake was one of the best I've had. To end the night we had a raspberry heart shaped tart. Soft cake like on the inside with a nice raspberry jam center. We sat outside and people watched right on Ocean Drive. It was a very nice night. read more

My party of four got a mid evening reservation on a recent weeknight. Located inside the Betsy Hotel, the layout and decor is interesting. Food-wise, everything was solid, nothing spectacular. A strip steak and snapper were what my wife and I shared. Mushroom and avocado on the snapper dish were tasty, while the steak was ok. Solid service, but as noted above, everything was on a 3 star level. read more

A friend recently invited me to join her on a hotel scouting mission for some out-of-town partners, and I jumped at the chance when she mentioned The Betsy. I hadn't been back to this South Beach gem since my younger days, and it didn't disappoint. From the moment we arrived, the large, breezy veranda with its rocking chairs and overhead fans set the tone: elegant, coastal, chill. Since The Betsy sits at the quieter end of Ocean Drive, the energy is more refined. None of the usual chaos you find closer to 8th. It felt more like a chic Caribbean resort than a typical SoBe spot. We checked out the menu and decided to stay for lunch and bonus... they were participating in Miami Spice! We were seated right away, and by some divine twist of fate, landed in Nathan's section. And let me tell you: Nathan was everything. Attentive, knowledgeable, hilarious, and devilishly handsome. Now... the food. THE FOOD. It started strong with warm, cheddar popovers (YES!!! POPOVERS) that were absolute heaven. For apps, we shared the chopped vegetable salad (easily one of the best salads I've ever had) and the hen of the woods mushrooms, which were earthy perfection. From the Miami Spice menu, I went with: * Starter: Shrimp bao buns - tender, flavorful, and beautifully balanced * Entrée: King salmon over Moroccan-spiced garbanzos - flavorful, filling, and just the right amount of heat * Dessert: Chocolate mousse - rich, smooth, and not overly sweet We paired it all with their spicy margaritas, which were A+. Already planning my return and you better believe I'll be requesting Nathan's section again. PERIOD. read more

The Betsy continues to shine year after year, visit after visit. We all love the Betsy, especially our pampered pooches who love the easy access to the park across the street. There's always live music in the lounge, beautiful art all around, and a gentle refined ambience throughout. Excellent overall! We respectfully suggest management kindly considering adding a couple items we could order exclusively for the pups - something like chicken breast, a burger or salmon. Great dining and drinking is available around the hotel. The Caesar salad is one of the best we've had anywhere. Keep up the excellent work! It's much appreciated. read more

3 out of 5 stars Breakfast at The Betsy South Beach - A Bit of a Letdown, But Great Service Saved the Day After strolling the South Beach strip in search of a breakfast spot, we ended up at The Betsy Hotel, drawn in by its charm. I ordered pancakes with sausage, and my partner ordered French toast with sausage and eggs. About 20 minutes later, our waitress brought my pancakes, along with both our sausage and his eggs--but no French toast. We began eating, assuming the rest was on the way. A few minutes later, the waitress returned to tell us they were out of French toast. My partner opted for pancakes instead, but five minutes later, she returned again to say they were out of those too. We ended up sharing my pancakes, but unfortunately, they were hard and barely edible--we didn't even eat half. While the sausage was tasty and my partner ate some of the eggs, the overall breakfast was disappointing. We spoke to the manager, Rene, about our experience. He was understanding and visibly upset that we were served what seemed to be the last (and likely old) batch of pancakes. He assured us that pancakes are made fresh in the morning and once they run out, that's it--but we should not have been served what we got. Renee comped our entire bill and took the time to genuinely apologize and chat with us. His professionalism and care really turned the experience around. Although the food fell short of our expectations, the service didn't. The waitress was kind and attentive, and we made sure to let her know it wasn't her fault and left her a tip. Overall, breakfast wasn't great--but thanks to Rene, we left feeling valued. I'd be willing to give The Betsy another shot next time we're in South Beach. read more

The Betsy Hotel is an incredible place to stay right on Ocean Drive. They have everything: the best food, amazing staff, a rooftop pool and bar, live music, and DOGS!! The owners dogs (Betsy and Rosa) run the show and they're doing the best job ever, and yes in case you're wondering the hotel is dog friendly. Seriously though, this place is rad. The art and photographs are amazing. The restaurant downstairs (the seafood specifically) is truly elite. And the staff are so kind.

So, The Betsy Hotel is a five-star experience, BUT it might not be one for you. It's not the superglitz of the well-polished high end Vegas properties. Rather the vibe is "You have an old-money multimillionaire friend with a well-maintained family beach house on a lovely part of the East Coast who's invited you to come stay for a while." You know. You get it, right? The Betsy abounds with pleasant places to sit in private or with others - decks, lounges, balconies . . . whatever grabs you right at the moment. The place is kind of a funky maze that takes you a while to figure out; once you do, you feel like you're family. Music sometimes - classy jazz, but sometimes a bit loud. Great beach access and a private pool for when the rip is going. Easy access to great eats. A quick stroll gets you out into the action. But at home, there's a unembarrassedly chill vibe - just family - oh, go ahead and borrow a book! Art everywhere - all worth examining, but there's just so much of it that you don't feel pressure to do right now. Every guest you encounter is gracious and polite (even the kids!) - no one is trying to impress anyone else, but there's an elegance - a tasteful elegance that underlies everything: the certainty is that if you're here, you don't NEED to impress anyone. It wouldn't have been the place for me when I was in my late twenties trying to court my wife and make a splash. But The Betsy sure suits us now. We've stayed all over Miami Beach since the Eighties - my wife and I were both surprised to find that The Betsy struck us as the most conveniently located of all these places. It seemed like nowhere in SoBe was difficult from our home base. We had one of the Betsy Balcony rooms (I like to smoke a puro in Miami Beach, and that gave me the opportunity): it was beautifully appointed - lovely decoration and smart storage features and conveniences. Small, but, not as small feeling as the photos implied to us. WiFi was strong everywhere inside but could fade at certain spots of the courtyard and was a no-go on our balcony. Big thumbs-up for the ceiling fan. The in-room fridge was convenient, as were the desk and all the drawers for storage. (Downside is it's tough to find a place to hide your luggage.) We stayed five days and did not go crazy in the space; on the contrary, we came to really like it. The one thing that every guest we met commented on was how easy it is to get lost in The Betsy: there were two hotels that were connected (on the third floor, through that silly Orb thing you see on Instagram) and there are multiple elevators and stairwells to navigate to get through them. It's worth figuring out: being able to traverse the areas makes everything very convenient (hey, you want to walk out the door to catch your Uber on Collins, right, not have to navigate over to the weird little cut-off part of Ocean by the Starbucks?) and only takes a day of paying attention to figure out. Nevertheless, every guest had an "I got lost!" story and a bartender joked that it would be an ideal sobriety test. (Everyone is helpful when you get lost, and it all makes sense once you do it a couple times.) NB: while it's a pet-friendly hotel (and I'm allergic to pet dander) and there were guest dogs and hotel dogs present, I didn't see a single hair or sneeze once anywhere. Wonderfully clean. All the staff we encountered, from housekeeping to waitstaff and bartenders to management and engineers - they were all welcoming, low-key and gracious. A particular shout-out to Renzo at the front desk, Evan at the bell desk, Art at the concierge desk and especially Jose and Joanny at breakfast - all were particularly friendly and especially helpful. If it sounds like a place for you, go and enjoy. My wife and I will certainly return. read more

Super classy place with tons of charm! Little hidden hotel gem at the end of Ocean Drive. Prices are rising and this places justifies it with impeccable customer service and personal touches throughout the establishment. The doormen-bell guys Juan & Fritz had excellent service with great knowledge & suggestions for the stay. They were extremely thoughtful as it pertained to our 4 year old son and consistently showed us love & lots of laughs. Front desk was amazing as Hendrick set the tone/standard of the BETSY with a spectacular room and making sure that our stay was what we needed from day one thru our entire stay. Esra also at the front desk was very helpful during checkout & very personable. He suggested we stay another day or several considering the current hurricane concerns which my wife and I contemplated for about 30 seconds haha. The LT restaurant never let down from the great morning services with Bradless & Rene' to the dinner times with Carlos. Food was impeccable throughout with great selections...and the popovers were beyond amazing! Attention to detail is obvious in this eatery from the outstanding café latté's to the famous award winning cheeseburger! Art & Paul at concierge were great in communication as they applied a special little touch to welcome us as we celebrated my wife's birthday!! It's the small things in life that make it very special and my family and I each felt very special here!!! Thank you to the team @ the Betsy S. Beach, the Family and especially to the CEOs Betsy, Rosa & Daisy & their lovely parents Lesly and Jonathan for making us feel right at home. It was indeed a pleasure and we hope to see you all in the near future. God bless. Cheers! read more

We stayed at the Betsy Hotel for my husband's birthday with our children and the staff was incredibly friendly from the checkin desk to the restaurant. They even have hotel dogs named Betsy, Rosa and Daisy. The owners John and Leslie were always engaging with the guests sharing their dogs for us to pet and love. We can't wait to go back. I also recommend staying in the penthouse. There is a near story about the chandelier that Leslie shared with me. I love history of a place and the stories that come with it. What a great experience.

I've stayed at this hotel a few times. It's a fantastic location. The road is closed right in front of this hotel which makes it amazing. Right across the street is the ocean and a green space of park and public bathrooms. Hundreds of restaurants within walking distance. This locations walk ability is 100%. You can walk to Outdoor shopping, coffee, shops, restaurants, and like I said, the beach is right across the street. This hotel provides two chairs and towels for each room on the beach. You just walk over to the beach and let the workers know that you're with the BETSY and your room number and they will put up two chairs for you wherever you would like and give you towels. The owner lives here and has a couple of dogs himself. Occasionally you'll see him taking his dogs out for a walk. Very nice gentleman. The lobby is an amazing space in this hotel. They have live music it seems what seems like all the time but I think it's 10 AM to 10 PM. In the lobby, they have several different games you can entertain yourself with such as checkers, chess, and backgammon . The restaurant has amazing food. My Uber driver tells me they have the best steak on South beach. They have a lovely space for sitting on their front porch and down along the sidewalk. Since the road has closed for pedestrians in front of the hotel, it's a lovely sitting space between the hotel and the green space and the ocean. The price point of this hotel is usually very good. I almost hate to give the review because I stay here quite often because of the price point and the service. Let's talk about the service. The staff here goes above and beyond. Upon arriving, they usually offer you free bottles of water and depending on what hour you're coming they might offer you a Prosecco. Also all complementary. Of course they have free Wi-Fi. And I have a great bar in their lobby. read more

I absolutely loved my stay here. I came for a company trip, so we had a huge group of almost 40 people. Their amazing service never changed the 5 days we were there to bug them! Everyone had the breakfast package, which was well taken advantage of and so delicious (free coffee refills as well). We linked a credit card to our rooms so whenever we ordered at LT Steak or at the bar, we had the option to charge it to our room and we received an invoice when we checked out. The beach is literally across the street, and checking in for chairs/towels/umbrella was seamless. We had 2 snafus since we had meetings hosted at The Betsy as well. We had packages delivered to the hotel for our meetings/the team, and they were missing when we arrived to check in. It turns out they were moved to our conference room but wasn't communicated to anyone. Keeping the 5 star rating though, because so many people jumped into action on our behalf to find these packages and they even checked security footage. Really appreciated the fast turnaround! We shared dietary restrictions for our holiday dinner party also hosted at The Betsy, but they weren't accounted for when we had a lunch meeting with the same group of people. Fast turnaround here as well, but would have been nice if some folks had gotten their food the same time as everyone else. Since they've connected 2 buildings with the famous orb/egg, it was a little confusing finding our conference rooms at first. This is usually fine if we were guests who could afford the leisure time to get lost, but we had a packed schedule for our company trip. You need to take 2 different elevators to get to their cafe/conference rooms. Prepare for a fun maze when you visit! Overall a dreamy stay with the live music, excellent drinks, top notch service (they remembered my name after meeting me only once), comfortable rooms and beautiful hotel. read more

We absolutely love this Hotel. It is conveniently located on the north end of South Beach which is the quieter end and the street in front is blocked from vehicle access. The ambiance is very upscale, eclectic, cool and cozy with a Gatsby vibe of a hotel from the 30's/40's. There are tons of areas to lounge in throughout the hotel, including a library which is definitely different. The whole place has exquisite taste in furnishings and they even have an art installation gallery on the premises. The staff were all accommodating and very nice to interact with. You could tell that they enjoyed working there. While it can be a little pricey for drinks and some meals but they were all very good. it is to be expected from an upscale boutique hotel. You are just a walk across the street to the beach area and a close walk to all the restaurants and night spots down the boulevard as well as all the other nice venues along Collins and Washington St., including Espanola Way. Can't forget to mention the rooftop pool and bar with great views. We definitely would have loved to stay longer but will definitely be back to visit. Thank you for the wonderful experience! read more

****Update*** Christopher with leadership at the Betsy has reached out to rectify the issues we had while staying at the hotel. He was very professional and made me feel like a valued customer, which is what I was hoping for during our stay. He assured me that our next visit, if we choose to patronize will be exceptional, and I receive that. This is a completely honest review. Let's start with making my reservations. I initially phoned the hotel to make a reservation for 5 nights. The reservationist confirmed my 5 nights took all my information and my credit card, but towards the end stated the wrong dates, only 4 nights for what I was quoted . she explained it would be $300 more. I asked her if there was anything that she could do since it was her mistake. She said, sorry no. I called back and spoke to a woman named Gabby. She apologized for the mistake and gave me five nights for the amount I was quoted initially. So I was very happy with that. Gabby was very nice and professional. Arriving to the hotel, we were greeted warmly and given instructions on how to navigate to our room. It is truly like a maze, you have to go up one elevator To the third floor cross over into another building and then come back down another elevator to get to the second floor, where we were staying. A little annoying, but not a super huge issue for us. (you have to repeat this to get to the pool gym and library) . Upon entering our room, it smelled like dog urine. We let Housekeeping know (who happened to be in the hallway), We also let the front desk know, and they told us they would have housekeeping attempt to get rid of the smell. Upon returning to our room, the room smelled like oranges and citrus with a faint hint of dog urine. But after a while, the dog urine smell returned. I didn't want to be a complainer so I just let it go. Our room itself was small and located right next to house keeping's closet. So needless to say we were woken up every morning with doors opening and closing and vacuums being tossed around. (if they offer you room 251 politely decline). One night my husband and I decided to sit on the front patio to just relax. Staff quickly came out and told us they weren't severing outside because it might rain, and that we needed to come inside. My husband explained we were just relaxing and didn't need service. Literally the same staff member offered service to a couple right next to us, not pushing them to leave from the front of the hotel. This experience gave me a very icky feeling, I felt very uncomfortable and unwelcome. They treated us as if we were loitering. They very next day hubby and I decided we would try pizza from a world famous pizza spot and eat it on the beach. By the time we Reached the hotel with our pizza. It started to rain so we decided we would sit on the front patio (which was covered) and enjoy our pizza. A staff member comes out and tells us, he thinks it's dumb, but management and the front desk staff says we can't eat outside pizza on the patio. We are welcome to take it to our room. I explained we are guest at the hotel and we're just looking for some cover from the rain. He says, I know but sorry, At this point, I'm starting to think they don't want us in front of their hotel. I'm extremely disappointed, feeling discriminated against and ready to go home. I honestly felt that we were being watched. Overall the hotel is attractive, has a nice rooftop pool, and great access to the beach that includes Beach chairs, towels and umbrellas. But for me, customer service is everything, and based on this experience, I would not return to the Betsy Hotel. I'm sure they wouldn't care anyways. read more

The hotel was superb, my wife and I enjoyed the location. With it being at the end of of Ocean Blvd it's away from the crowds. But since it is at the road close barrier there is a lot of turn around traffic. The staff is awesome and helpful at every turn. It can be a little confusing to get from front building to back building but it's cool since you get to check out the art around the building. Only a couple complaints I have, was the rooftop pool wasn't open at night and people selling drugs in alley way. Seemed almost every other day of our visit someone was asking you to buy illegal substances. So we choose to avoid the orb area. The $40 a day resort fee I have mixed feelings about. I don't do yoga, I never used the gym, I never went to the beach to just sit and use a umbrella and chair, used pool once in 4 days due to its hours open and still got charged $40.00 a day extra. But it is what it is, just think it would of been better to be charged for what you used vs just charging you upon check out. But it is what it is... read more

On a quiet, sunny, calm, Monday morning I was strolling south beach alone and stumbled across Betsy. I was first nervous to eat here since I was alone. Most restaurants seem to shy away from solo diners since they would rather give the table to bigger parties. Daniel greeted me with a gentle smile and welcomed me with a menu and water. One thing I appreciated about the menu it was straightforward and not overwhelming. I decided to start my day off with Almond French toast and a healthy green juice. Daniel was assertive and made sure I didn't need for anything. After breakfast he gave me a tour of the restaurant and even introduced me to the owner of the hotel. The owner was personable and friendly. I got the chance to meet his dogs Betsy and Rosa. My overall experience was 10 out 10. Thank you read more

1 block from the ocean facing a park, this is a great walkable, boutique hotel in South Beach. It's near the end cold the craziness of Ocean Boulevard so you have the option to walk down, but you have an escape. The service at the hotel was phenomenal. There are chairs on the beach for guests to use. The rooms are classy and clean. The hotel was a nice oasis on a hot day, the hotel AC works great!! My only knock in the hotel (why I didn't give it the 5th star) -- the noise levels aren't bad, but they aren't great. And I'm not talking about party or late night drunk person noise (that was fine) the walls are just thin. At 7 am Sunday morning all the trash is picked up from the back alley and there are a lot of dumpsters for them to go through. Coming from west coast time, that was a little annoying. We could also very clearly hear the person in the room above us walking around at all hours. Brought me back to my college apartment days :) so maybe request a room on a higher floor facing the ocean. read more

Wow, wow, wow, style, style, style, old school, old school, old school, classy, classy, classy. I am a fan - my husband and I drive past all the time and alkways admire its finery. It was built in 1942 by L. Murray Dixon, the architect responsible for many famous Miami Beach Art Deco hotels, The Betsy stands as the lone surviving example of Florida Georgian architecture on Ocean Drive today. Enamored with "the colonial chic" of the post Great Depression era, Dixon's 'betsy Ross Hotel' has an expansive four-column portico and signature shuttered windows. I have been inside the foyer - which is gorgeously decorated - you will find a cosy bar and will hear the tinkle of the piano playing most evenings. Here is some history - 2009 - there is apparently a writers room which opened in 2009 and has welcomed writers since. (Hyam Plutzik, father of The Betsy's owner, Jonathan, was a three-time Pulitzer Prize finalist in poetry. They have hosted more than 800 artists in the Writers' Room and host meet & greets and readings in the Library. The Plutzik family personally curates the visual art exhibits with emphasis on photography from emerging and established artists.) 1970 - The Betsy Ross Hotel was added to the State Registry of Historic Places. 1942 - The Betsy Ross hotel opens and US troops are stationed at The Betsy Hotel during WWII. read more
