Nothing short of spectacular! We were staying at another hotel nearby and well…it was necessary to move. I walked into the W South Beach to just explore and consider moving to the W. The decision was a no brainer. We were greet by Ambassador Hal Demir. He showed us the impressive property and then showed us the room we had been eyeing online. Hal is a superstar of guest service. Giving us advice on many aspects/restaurants in the area. He then introduced us to Front Desk Director Rachael. Yet another superstar. We booked the room to check in the following day. We were upgraded (without asking) to the most incredible 1 bedroom/full living room & kitchen suite with a wrap around terrace with stunning views. Rachael and Hal always has a smile and a kind word for us. This was true throughout the property. Lucas at the hotel bar is another standout in hospitality, charisma and charm. Carolina at the breakfast restaurant (which is delicious) is superb. Also, the online photos of the pool and overall property do not do justice to this extraordinary hotel in a great location. We will definitely be back!!! Read less

Want the best in Miami? W South Beach is the place. From the location to the service this is a first class place. Been to most of the Marriott Properties as a titanium member and this one exceeds my expectations and standards. And the view from your room? Breathtaking! My compliments to the management.

This by far is one of the best hotels I’ve ever stayed at. Not only for the beauty of it, but the customer service as well it is Superb! From the time I got there Peter the bellman retrieved our bags and made us 2 refreshing drinks. Then Rebecca check us in in a very timely and professionally. Accommodating all my requests with a smile and pleasantries. Next the room was immaculately beautiful and clean. Room service and house keeping service were fast and efficient. The food from the restaurant inside was good and the wait staff was excellent. The pool bar drinks were the best and Jose and Gilbert and the ladies out there are the best in the business! The management staff there at the bar area was so personable and fun. Thanks Amos for your attention and kindness. I don’t have any negetive things to say about this “W-SB”! It checks all the boxes not to mention the location was great for us as well. “WSB”, you all are the standar for hospitality as of today for me! My husband and I and my friends loved every minute of our stay and we can’t thank you enough!🫶 We will be back soon! Read less
