The Betsy hotel is best suited for someone who has the budget for a luxury hotel experience and wants to stay in the central South Beach area and doesn’t mind having to walk across the street to get to the beach. This hotel is not the best choice for someone who wants a crazy party atmosphere.
The Betsy Hotel is a Luxury Hotel located on Ocean Drive in the heart of South Beach. Built in the 1940’s this hotel has unique colonial tropical style on both its exterior and interior. The decor in the common areas has elegant chandeliers, palm trees, coffered ceilings, and plantation shutters, this hotel is exceptionally neat and clean making it one of our top Four Star Hotels. The Betsy Hotel isn’t connected directly to Miami Beach, but the beach is a short 5 minute walk across the street. The Betsy recently added a Rooftop Pool that’s spectacular and one of the Best Pools in Miami Beach. There’s also a Rooftop Sundeck with spectacular views. At night the it’s converted into a lounge area offering great views of the South Beach area.

Betsy Beach and Pool Access
The Betsy Hotel underwent a renovation recently and added a rooftop pool and skydeck. The pool is spectacular and we consider it one of the Best Pools in Miami Beach. The rooftop skydeck looks out facing Miami Beach and has magnificent views. The pool and skydeck has a bar and waitstaff and serves drinks and light food items. The rooftop becomes a party lounge seasonally at night.
The Betsy is located on Ocean Drive which means Miami Beach is a five minute walk across the street. Umbrellas and lounge chair rentals are available from third party vendors on the beach. There are some food vendors who walk up and down the beach selling water, soft drinks, and a very limited offering of snacks. The hotel waitstaff does not service the beach area.

Betsy Gym & Fitness Center
The Betsy Hotel does have a fitness center on site, but it is on the small side. There are two treadmills, two stationary bikes, a weight bench, and some free weights. There isn’t a lot of free space in the fitness center.
The Betsy does have a Day Spa located on site that operates on the rooftop level, adjacent to the pool and skydeck. The area is open to the air but has fabric shades so you’re not roasting under the sun. Some areas have curtains that can be drawn, but there’s not a huge amount of privacy. All treatments at the day spa are an additional charge.
