Esme Miami Beach

Miami Beach, Miami

Virgin rating

The hotel

Bringing an edgy yet sexy Espanola vibe to South Beach, Esme is a hotel come “village” that offers a fun and sophisticated place to stay to enjoy the best of Miami. There’s no doubt that the rooftop deck is the place to be here. Chill at the pool by day, whether it’s in the water or on the very ‘instagrammable’ day beds. As the day draws to a close, enjoy a sundowner from The Roof Bar and soak up the music. Live DJ sessions carry on into the night on Friday’s and Saturdays so you can celebrate the weekend in style. There’s plenty of other bars and restaurants to enjoy at Esme, make sure you book a reservation at the hidden Sushi Bar with only 12 prized seats so you can devour nigiri to your hearts content. As you walk through the buildings of the hotel you’ll feel like you’ve stepped into Spain with the plant lined terraces and deep red tones, and then that glorious sunshine will hit you as you leave the lobby – where you’re just 4 minutes’ stroll from Ocean Drive and the beach itself. If you carry on down past the Versace Mansion (which we’d recommend booking into for lunch!) to the Art Deco Gift Shop, you can join a tour of the Art Deco district. Or make use of the complimentary bicycle rental from the hotel to explore Miami Beach at your own agenda. If it’s more down time you’re looking for, the hotel offers a beach service with towels and chairs too.

Great location and service. The rooms are quite small and have no space enough for our clothing. However the staff attention and kindness overcome any inconvenience. We fully recommend to know the rooftop. Special thanks for Grabriela, JD and Justin.

Only good thing about this place..? The location... We booked the room and paid in advance... We got there and and had no issues with check-in or Valet..

Only good thing about this place..? The location... We booked the room and paid in advance... We got there and and had no issues with check-in or Valet.. We did, however, had an issue with no hot water in the room in the morning. Manager on duty in the AM said it was a city issue (never heard a town restricting hot water), so we called 4 other hotels a few doors away and not only did they have hot water but never heard anything about city restrictions/repairs.. We complained in the afternoon and were told it's a pipe issue... Since we tried hot water in other room that they showed us we swapped .. Came the morning no hot water again.. To top it off, another review complained about the same thing a week before we arrived.. But we figured they'd have it fixed.. We were wrong.. They lure you into staying and had we known the hot water was still an issue we would have checked out.. Luckily we only had a few nights... Avoid it, cancel your reservation and go somewhere else... This place isn't worth ruining your vacation. Read less

My friend and I had just stayed here recently for one night. We were in town for a convention that was going on. And we had done our research ahead of time and we found this place. We were very intrigued by the hotel and thought it was quite nice. The staff was friendly and welcoming. While we were attending our event, we wanted to keep our bags with the staff, and they were very accommodating. We noticed that they had valet parking, but we decided that we wanted to use the 24-hour parking which was not that far from the hotel. the distance to our event and the hotel was not bad at all. The room itself was very nice and clean, we did notice that the bed was a bit small then how it was shown in the pictures online. However, the room had everything that we needed and was very accommodating. We had breakfast that was included in our reservation, and may I just say it was the best breakfast we have ever had. I would definitely come back here great staff and great atmosphere. Read less
