About
The Betsy sits on Ocean Drive in South Beach, its Georgian-style facade standing out among the Art Deco neighbors. The 130-room hotel also takes in the former Carlton Hotel next door, and it has a rooftop pool, two ocean decks, and beach access.
Culture is a big part of the stay: the hotel keeps a library, places books in guest rooms, hosts author talks and arts events, and offers live jazz most nights. LT Steak & Seafood, from chef Laurent Tourondel, is the main restaurant. The Betsy holds a MICHELIN Key and suits couples, solo travelers and creative types who want a smaller, personal hotel in the middle of South Beach rather than a large resort.
