Royal Palm

South Beach, Miami

Virgin rating

The hotel

An inspiring oceanfront beach retreat, the Royal Palm offers modern, vibrant living whilst keeping intact many signature elements of the original Art Deco design. Rooms are gorgeous, with stunning city or ocean views, rich linen robes to relax in and organic bath products. When you’re not out and about sightseeing or strutting your stuff down at the beach, relax by one of the two pools, a cocktail in one hand, a good book in the other. There’s also a state-of-the-art fitness centre and Renew Spa based on Himalayan salt with six treatment rooms. There are restaurants all around you but for good eats look no further than Florida Cookery, the hotel’s signature restaurant for breakfast, lunch and dinner. For cocktails, South Shore is definitely one of the places to be seen.

Great location and room on Miami Beach! When I arrived, our room wasn’t ready, so we toured the building and had a fabulous, friendly interaction with PEDRO in the breakfast room. He welcomed us and gave us pertinent information to improve our stay. We had a nice breakfast each day with both PEDRO and JOHN tending to us. Our room was kept very clean by MARGARETTE. She also was very helpful with some questions we had. She was very kind and extremely helpful. We did have a couple issues very poorly handled at the front desk by one team member, but Christopher fixed things. I’ll be back! I hope I see Pedro and Margarette again. Read less

Ricardo, the manager at the beach, is the best thing that happened to this hotel. He was friendly, kind and responsive. The gym is nice. But the rooms are not what I was expecting. The balcony is only meant for standing. And there isn’t a mini fridge to store your food or drinks. They only have spots for drinks you have to buy. The location is… Read more
