My husband and I had an amazing experience at the W South Beach in March! We were truly blown away by the service and hospitality we experienced. Everyone at the hotel we encountered was kind, friendly, and went above and beyond to assist us! We absolutely loved all of the activities and amenities offered at the hotel. We took part in the spa, pool, wine/cheese, yoga and HIIT classes, live music, and cigars with the GM. The GM Rick Ueno was phenomenal. He was a pleasure to get to know and we loved hearing about his approach to make the W South Beach the special place it is. We met a couple of other patrons at the cigar event who spend numerous nights at the W SB each year and we certainly understand why! Our room was perfect and stylish with a beautiful view! Housekeeping did a fantastic job and we loved the nightly turn down service. We also took advantage of the hospitality suite to freshen up before our afternoon flight which was an awesome offering. Many kudos and thanks to the W South Beach for making our stay so memorable and enjoyable! This type of outstanding hotel and customer service experience is rare to come by and we were so appreciative for it. We will definitely be back!! Read less

Stayed here many times as its our favorite hotel in South Beach. Great Pool, amazing breakfast, lobby, fitness center all amazing. We used the beach chairs this trip and had a great time. I wanted to take a moment and shout out one of the Managers - Marcus. We were walking down the hallway, and he saw us (clearly we were checking out), he paused his brief training session with 2 of his fellow team members, and walked us down to the front desk. He rolled my gf's bag down as well! Stellar service, above and beyond what we would have expected. Kudos to you and your team Marcus. Note that all the team members this stay/trip were exceptional. Keep it up W SB. Read less
