The hotel

Art deco style and relaxed beach vibes is what the Gale South Beach is all about. On one side you've got Collins Avenue, a bustling hubbub of city lights, sights and sounds. On the other is the beach, with the relaxed promenade and white sands leading to the Atlantic Ocean. And at the Gale, you've got an infinity-edge pool to plunge into, a delicious Italian restaurant to eat at, and rooms decorated with the beach and ocean as their inspiration. However you decide to spend your holiday, make it a memorable one at the Gale.

Lovely hotel with charming art all over. Room clean and fresh, a bit small but that’s usual for these older buildings. This is my second stay and staff are very friendly and helpful. Fabian was wonderful with my luggage and getting my packages. Good restaurants in area.

Hotel is nice and the staff is very accommodating. Some of the rooms are a bit small, but Roxana was very kind in showing us larger rooms to upgrade to. The staff was super helpful with the bike rentals and Berthony was also very helpful with our luggage. The food and service at Dolce was top notch and the beach chairs were a nice surprise!

My family and I are originally from NJ and have never been to Miami before. We were here to celebrate with my sister Aida and her daughter for her birthday! From the check in process, the restaurant, the room, EVERYTHING was wonderful and well worth staying. Dan, The bellman was very kind and helpful. Stenisha at the front desk was amazing! She went out of her way searching for recommendations since it was our first time visiting Miami. She even booked dinner reservations for my sister and I. The rooms are a bit small but super clean. I will definitely be returning to the Gale. Read less

A wonderful 3 night stay before we went onto our cruise from Port of Miami.. the staff were very welcoming, friendly and always happy to help.. Roxanna, Dan and Stenicha thank you we enjoyed using her hotel bikes to enjoy South beach and the food in Dolce Italian was spot on I would highly recommend! Our first time from the UK to Miami and we absolutely loved it we will be coming back soon. The rooftop pool was an added bonus we really enjoyed the views over the other hotels and the beach with towels and ice cold water to keep us hydrated as us British people we only have rain and cloud of the high temperature was a heatwave for us indeed! The hotel is central to Lincoln road mall, a couple of minutes away from South beach and about 10 minute walk to Ocean drive! Make sure you see the sign for "The Alley" to view the Betsy Orb! You will then be right onto the start of Ocean drive in the evening is spectacular. Thank you again from the newlyweds Mr and Mrs Dawkes. Read less

Stenicha at the front desk was fabulous! And Dan provided excellent service! I would highly recommend this hotel. It’s conveniently located to the beach, they have a sister hotel, the kids shoe free beach chairs on the beach. The food at the restaurant and bar is great.
