Essex was in a prime location: block away from nightlife/beach. The staff was very inviting and friendly. Victor the bellman was very informative on where to go and extremely helpful. Front End Staff also great. The room was very clean and comfortable. Free happy hour of wine/beer was good too. Art Deco Style is just timeless and in perfect touch... More

We"discovered" South Beach courtesy of our daughter who was married on the beach there. We stayed at the Essex House then, and every time we return this is the place we return to. This is the perfect place if you're a first time visitor to SoBeach.....close to everything...beach, entertainment, restaraunts, and shopping. Everyone at the Essex House goes out of... More

I arrived on a Wednesday at about Noon and they were extremely welcoming and had a room ready for me. Yes, rooms are small, but just for one or two is super. Staff and location are why you stay here. One block to best part of So. Beach ocean and right on shopping allley. Free happy hour with beer and... More

This hotel is one of the more attractive art deco hotels on Miami Beach. The location is great and right on the beach in the middle of all the bars and restaurants. The rooms were quite small, but nicely decorated. The service in the hotel was great, everyone was really helpful. More

Essex House was a great place for my wife and I to enjoy a birthday weekend in South Beach. Location is great on Collins, and we were fortunate to have a great corner room on the 3rd floor. Hotel is older, but lobby, bar and room are nice. Typical of older hotels, the bathroom is smaller, but nice. Staff was... More

The Essex House is a very cute and clean hotel. As the other reviewers have said, this hotel is all about location. You just can't get a much better location in the South Beach area. The front desk staff was helpful and the hotel itself was very loungy and nice. Very quite too, which is odd considering it's proximity to... More

We stayed at Essex House for 4 nights in May 2012. Nice Hotel with clean rooms and helpful staff. Rooms could be a bit more furnished (an additional cupboard and some chairs would be nice). Free drinks at bar from 5pm - 7pm. Location is great. Close to the beaches but not at noisy Ocean Drive. More
