About this place The Betsy Hotel

The Betsy is a mainstream boutique hotel that is gay-friendly, not a gay hotel. It sits at 1440 Ocean Drive, at the northern end of the Art Deco stretch, behind a white colonial-style facade that stands out from the pastel deco buildings around it. The hotel runs a year-round arts and culture programme of readings, music and talks, which sets it apart from the party hotels further down the strip. The South Beach gay bars and the beach at 12th Street are a short walk south. Google reviewers rate it 4.6 across more than 2,300 reviews. Expect Ocean Drive prices, and check the hotel site for current room rates and resort fees.

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.
