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 destinations were fabulous, but what really stood out was the care and patience Tania showed as she guided me and my sister through every question and hesitation. Nothing felt rushed or too much trouble. The result? A truly wonderful holiday. Thank you.
