“great Art Deco hotel in very heart of Miami Beach”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed March 18, 2013

if you would like to enjoy some traditional Miami Beach hotels - stay at Essex House Hotel Miami Beach. It has been kept in traditional Art Deco style through years and I must admit it has been well preserved and maintained. Loby is charming, personnel on check in is friendly and helpful. I had excellent room with view to internal garden / pool and sidestreet. windows are double glass and you don't hear most of noises from the street. i got upgrade to superior room and its size was great for 6 nights stay. instead of watching tv, i can look through window and get a glimpse on Miami Beach street life and car-show! hotel offers complimentary breakfast, which was like traditional french style - pastry, jam, fruits, orange juice and coffee or tea. some draw backs of that beautiful hotel are - if you open window, you can hear ground floor restaurant music and bum bum noice from bar on Ocean Rd, room' carpet could be vacuumed better. but highly recomend this hotel due ambiance...

Room Tip: if you would like to have quiet rooms, than ask for rooms on ground floor 114... and around; but i l...

“Delightful Stay!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed March 15, 2013

I was delighted with my stay at the Essex House. Our suite was spacious, and extremely clean. The beds were fresh and comfortable. I loved the complimentary hors o'dourves, and wine
after coming In from the beach. One of my favorite things to do was sit on the inviting porch to read or just people watch. The Essex House staff was truly committed to making our stay comfortable and enjoyable, with a "how can I help you?" at every turn. Such a relaxing time, can't wait to return.

“Great Location!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed March 14, 2013

My wife and I spent 4 days on South Beach, and had a great time at Essex House!
Its two blocks from the beach, and right on Collins and 10th; so its right in the middle of the action!
You can walk to either side of south beach within 20 minutes. We were able to walk to all bars, clubs and restaurants with ease.
With the stay at Essex House, you will also get free access to the Clevelander at night.
The staff is very helpful, and will give great restaurant and bar suggestions

“Excellent Hotel”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed March 14, 2013

I can't say enough wonderful things about the Essex House. We walked in and Domingo greeted us at the door with a welcoming smile and a helpful hand. Our room was very clean and neat, this is the first time I didn't feel the need to wipe everything down. The bed was so comfortable it almost made me wish for a rainy day to lounge and watch tv. Zen Sai, the in house restaurant, was amazing. Zack, our waiter, made some great suggestions based on our likes. I highly recommend the Alaskan King Crab Salad Roll! I can't wait to go back!
