SLS Hotel South Beach

South Beach, Miami

Virgin rating

The hotel

Situated in the playground of the rich and famous, this is a playful concoction of sophistication, elegance and exemplary service right on the beach, just minutes from Ocean Drive. Elegant and luxuriously feminine, with an added contemporary edge, this accommodation really is fit for royalty, whilst the mirrors on the ceiling and box marked ‘sinners,’ add a very French twist to the otherwise demur décor. Designed in the style of a bathtub, there are 2 swimming pools which come complete with a 10 foot tall silver ‘rubber ducky’.

We used the hotel valet service and they damaged the car. You would think an high end hotel would provide good service. After pointing out the damage to the vehicle they didn’t want to take any responsibility after months of back and forth. Horrible experience. I had to deal with the damage on my own. NEVER AGAIN!!!!

The least enjoyable sun-pool-beach experience in my life. You can't escape the pounding, bad and vulgar music between 9:00 a.m. and 1:00 a.m, not even in the elevator up to your room. It was so loud and harsh that my wife and I became physically ill. This hotel caters to folks who can afford nice accomodations right on the beash but opens the… Read more
The least enjoyable sun-pool-beach experience in my life. You can't escape the pounding, bad and vulgar music between 9:00 a.m. and 1:00 a.m, not even in the elevator up to your room. It was so loud and harsh that my wife and I became physically ill. This hotel caters to folks who can afford nice accomodations right on the beash but opens the doors to its gorunds and pool to hudreds of vulgar young and indulgant locals who party boisterously and vulgarly like there's no tomorrow. Any sense that you have beautiful tropical nature in your midst is comletely lost. Want a calm breakfast and conversation? Impossible! Stay away. Read less

Fernando top notch concierge in welcome back. Great service and hospitality all around. Outdoor bar/restaurant convenient. Perhaps some of the best fresh squeezed orange juice there is. Hyde beach is the best pool party on east coast. Would return for sure- no doubt vs other sobe options.

It’s a classier and more relaxing experience than most big chain hotels. The restaurants were both excellent. The pool service was excellent and the beach was well served by the hotel, providing towels deck chairs and cocktails. The rooms are small but beautifully declared with a funky deco theme.
