The hotel

With rich history, set within an art deco landmark, Ritz-Carlton South Beach is a hotel oozing with glamour and exclusivity. DiLido Beach Club is the place to be seen, and their ‘Frose Fridays’ offer the perfect start to the weekend overlooking the oceanfront. Continue your weekend shopping and dining in South Beach, everything you need is within easy walking distance. And whilst Sunday may be considered a ‘day of rest’, we’re carrying on the party here with brunch at Fuego y Mar complete with live music and Atlantic views. If you’re looking for a more chilled break, the Ritz-Carlton Spa is perfect to relax with luxurious treatments and products on offer, or just chill by the elevated pool and let the sounds of the ocean take away your troubles.

Abrham was incredible. He helped me with a great view of the ocean with comfy towels. He was very nice and him and Caleb checked on me multiple times to make sure I was enjoying myself. Jesus was a great server too very cool & helpful. These gentlemen were the best!!

Not always easy to disconnect and unwind, but Daril made our days on the beach in Miami worry-free. Even beyond, he and Bruce and the rest of the group anticipated our needs and went out of their way to make us comfortable. We are so appreciative of the effort and care and hope to return soon.
