A GLAMOROUS BOUTIQUE HOTEL FULL OF TROPICAL CHARM
Overlooking South Beach on the quieter end of Ocean Drive, the Betsy Hotel is a glamorous boutique hotel full of tropical charm.
Adorned with marble bathrooms, walnut floors and artwork from the owner’s private collection, the guestrooms at the Betsy are graceful, light-filled sanctuaries. Many offer extra space with balconies overlooking the Art Deco district.
When not relaxing in your room, you can soak up the Floridian sunshine by the rooftop pool, or opt for more tranquillity at the spa. Just steps from the hotel lies a gorgeous golden beach, where the umbrellas, lounge chairs and attendants of The Betsy’s beach service await. For those looking to keep up their workout routine, there’s Peloton spin classes to enjoy in the fitness centre and yoga on the Skyline Deck.
The LT Steak & Seafood restaurant is a world-class flagship helmed by renowned chef Laurent Tourondel, but you can also treat yourself to Neapolitan pizza and other trattoria classics at The Alley. There’s also a walk-up window at La Ventanita which sells homemade gelato and pizza by the slice – perfect for a quick bite whilst exploring the neighbourhood. For drinks, the dark wood Lobby Bar is an inviting space with its rotating art exhibits, live jazz music and picture windows framing Ocean Drive.

The service we received from The Ultimate Travel Company was second to none. Tania took the time to understand exactly what we wanted and helped us explore every option clearly and thoroughly. Her first-hand knowledge of Kenya and safaris made a real difference – she explained everything brilliantly. The thoughtful extras, like the travel wallet and documents, were such a lovely touch – especially for someone who loves to travel well-organised! Thank you so much. We’ll definitely be back for future adventures.
