The hotel

One of Miami's Art Deco masterpieces, this nautically inspired hotel, built in 1939 by Igor Polevitzky, has been described as 'a ocean liner on dry land'! It features elegant, minimalist guest rooms with custom-designed fixtures and fittings. Clientele and the local crowd gather at the mezzanine-level pool, which has portholes that allow courtyard strollers an underwater view of swimmers. Order a drink from the chic Albion Bar before heading out into the heart of South Beach for an exciting night on the town!

The Albion Hotel staff was very helpful and friendly, my room was very comfortable, the lobby is beautiful, the hotel bar is a great spot to relax and meet fellow travelers, and it's a great location only one block from the beach and close to great restaurants. Will definitely visit again!

By far the worst hotel experience I have come across. Booked via a uk agent and was advised there was a pool, bar and good location. The location was the only plus for this hotel. We arrived to find the pool being dug out having not been advised prior to our arrival. Neither had the booking agent so thankfully they relocated us swiftly. The staff were borderline rude and unhelpful. Hotel rooms were small, inadequate & outdated & unclean. A double queen room and we couldn’t unpack cases as storage was limited. Then as we were checking out the lifts broke and we couldn’t exit without taking all our cases down 6 flights of stairs. Meaning anyone with mobility issues wouldn’t have been able to exit either and no one on duty seemed to be fussed to fix the issue. The bell staff were kind, helpful & apologetic but reception team were abysmal. Hotel still being advertised as pool available but as it’s completely dug out, there is no chance of it being ready for another few months at least. Read less

Cracking location...I went for a run on the beach every day I was there. The pool is a great size and the breakfast is terrific value and tasty. Room is a great size and the staff super friendly. Walking distance to so many good restaurants and bars.

Allocated a room which was much in need of refurbishment. Bathroom needs updating and at least given a good clean. Window sun screening all peeling off and flapping in the wind. Hotel told me I had been given an upgraded room - thank goodness I didn’t get my original booking. Cannot recommend this hotel in a city with so many alternatives.
