When it comes to South Beach hotels, the Betsy Hotel certainly portrays poise and elegance, located in the famed Art Deco district on Ocean Drive.  This is a luxury hotel, upscale restaurant, lavish poolside bar and exotic garden spa all in one location.

There are 63 elegantly appointed rooms at the Betsy, all of which are private, beachside jewels with elaborate and creative design, and of course, every modern amenity.   The décor is decidedly tropical, yet not tacky.  A main attraction is the courtyard pool, where you can indulge in delectable specialty cocktails that will melt away your every worry.  Light fare is offered poolside.

For those with an appetite, you must try dining at Laurent Tourondel’s new take on the modern American Steakhouse, the BLT Steak at the Betsy.   Located in the lobby, this culinary creation features vintage glamour décor, and is accessible by invitation only.  I suppose one can expect that when it has been bestowed with awards from Esquire, Saveur, Travel & Leisure, and Wine and Spectator magazines.  Yes please.

The Deck at the Betsy is a sprawling rooftop with panoramic views of the marbled Atlantic, boasting a Wellness Garden Spa.  The spa offers the full-range of pampering spa treatments, yoga and therapies.

This tranquil and Zen-inspired escape will literally catapult you from the busyness that is South Beach into a soothing environment to awaken your senses.  Products derived from exotic ingredients like blueberries, mandarins and sugarplums will dance in your head as you take in the bamboo and stone surroundings.  We recommend the Wood Stone Ritual treatment with chilled stones followed by a Coconut Hot Towel facial.  The massages are not too shabby, either!
