It’s a very quaint hotel and tons of restaurants to walk to and if you want to do some shopping, it’s only about 10 minute walk away. The food was excellent. I ate two desserts, the Panna cotta and some milk chocolate caramel something that was incredible.

We loved our stay at the Betsy. It’s a beautiful hotel that offers a respite from the louder locations along Ocean Drive. Beach across the street with plenty of chaises that are not on top of each other. Such attentive staff, a beautiful, spotless room. We had one breakfast and one dinner at the Betsy… both meals were excellent. Love the piano in the lobby. We highly recommend the Betsy. We will return!
Just as pretty at night!

Staff is the best especially the friendly hotel manager Hendrik. They support the arts every Sunday on the premises which was great entertainment. My bed was very comfortable and even being over the front porch it was very quiet. Rooftop pool is great alternative to beach. Enjoyed beach service as well. The only negative was service at LT restaurant. It was terrible service. Still my go to and rightfully so in Miami Beach. A lovely hotel.
