About this place The Betsy Hotel

The Betsy Hotel is a gay-friendly spot on Ocean Drive in Miami Beach, Florida. It's an understated, comfortable kind of luxury, good for anyone after a refined stay in one of Florida's most active LGBTQ+ cities.

That big colonial façade makes it a landmark on South Beach. But inside, it’s all about a relaxed vibe where guests can just be themselves.

The Betsy isn't just a place to sleep. It’s got year-round programming: arts, culture, community stuff. They’re really trying to get guests involved in things beyond the typical hotel experience. If you like a hotel that actually does something, this is it.

Miami Beach, of course, is a huge LGBTQ+ destination—beaches, nightlife, that whole welcoming thing. Being right on Ocean Drive, you're in the thick of it all, close to restaurants, bars, shops, whatever you're looking for. It's a luxurious place to crash, with a genuinely welcoming spirit, whether you're here for the beach, some culture, or the whole South Beach scene.

The lobby bar at The Betsy is an absolute vibe. 🍹 Drinks were fantastic, exactly what you want after a day on Ocean Drive and the service was top notch. We ended up chatting with one of the waiters about the hotel's history and honestly that was a highlight in itself. The guy knew his stuff and made it genuinely interesting. Such a cool spot. Highly recommend stopping in even if you're not staying here!

We were taken care of so well!! The staff is the heart of a hotel, and the staff here at the Betsy are ready to go above and beyond for you Not to mention the amenities are incredible: rooftop pool, beachside chairs and umbrellas, genuinely everything in the hotel is thought through and in the end, this is why we travel, to turn our brain off for a little bit :-)

I loved staying at the Betsy hotel while visiting South Beach. The location is just across the street from the beach and they offer complimentary beach chairs & umbrellas at the beach, note that there’s no beach side food & drink service. They also had a beautiful rooftop pool with full bar. The staff throughout the property were very kind and always offering to help. There’s also a great vibe in the lobby/piano bar/bar area. The one thing to note is that the room was small, but I didn’t spend much time in the room as it’s in the best area and the hotel amenities are amazing. I would definitely return on my next trip!

We ate at several middling and overpriced resturants on the strip, and that was a mistake. Wish we had just eaten here every meal. The food and service was fantastic. Will definitley be staying here again.
