Housekeeping was excellent. Beds were extremely comfortable. The public spaces are inviting and comfortable. Great service by the pool. Delicious lunches at The Grove - the Steak Thai Salad was exceptional! So glad we chose the W South Beach for a great Miami weekend! Read less

As frequent travelers, my husband and I continue to be drawn back to the W South Beach for both its luxurious and welcoming appeal. We visited in August with our three young children, 9, 7 and 2 who had the most incredible time, enjoying all the amenities and W happenings daily. They absolutely love the pool energy and were ecstatic about having their own room in the upgraded room we were offered. We returned sans kids in October to enjoy all the W SoBe has to offer from an adults only perspective and it was even more fabulous. We had the most attentive service at the pool, lounge, and at check-in and checkout which is always a breeze. When you do have to leave the premises, we love how convenient the location is - right around the corner from the Walgreens and local coffee shops, shopping, and restaurants. Huge shout out to George and Rick for always ensuring we have the best accommodations and that we have everything we need at all times. A big thank you to Lucas at the lounge bar, a very talented master mixologist who wowed us with his knowledge and impressive drink making at the complimentary mixology classes. Also thank you to the W Concierge which was amazing at consistently checking in on us and making sure we took advantage of all the great amenities and had all the right reservations. Last, but not least, thank you to Halden who always warmly welcomes us and makes us feel right at home from the onset. Thank you again, W SoBe! Read less

I was expecting a "party hotel" but it was frequented by many families with young children, which was great. Service is excellent, staff is flawless. The room decor is beautiful. And the restaurant is delicious (which is rare). A few flaws: the balconies (if you have one) are not private, the person on the balcony next to yours can lean in and see… Read more

And the restaurant is delicious (which is rare). A few flaws: the balconies (if you have one) are not private, the person on the balcony next to yours can lean in and see everything in your room. My room was facing north and a huge noisy construction site right underneath. Of course the construction site was not disclosed at the time of booking. Read less

Best part of this hotel is the beach and the pool area. Great service. Hotel bar is fine. Gym is nice. I would avoid the spa here. Borderline dangerously unqualified personnel. The front desk staff are less than helpful. The room was kind of tired. I think it’s an adequate hotel, but nothing to write home about. Much prefer the 1 hotel next door.
