Miami boutique hotel on Washington Avenue with cabanas, VIP club access.

This 49-room boutique hotel packs in the amenities on the fashionable Washington Avenue. Guests can live like South Beach locals with complimentary passes to nightclubs, alfresco dining and private cabanas for people watching. Look for feng shui spaces with bamboo floors, soft lighting and floating Japanese-style furniture.

Highlights
  • Free shuttle from Miami International Airport to the hotel
  • Free cocktails between 7 p.m. and 8 p.m.
  • Two blocks from Ocean Drive and close to South Beach nightclubs
  • VIP passes to clubs
  • Free Wi-Fi throughout the property
Rooms

South Beach is a mix of Mediterranean, Miami modern and Art Deco styles, but the Chelsea Hotel opts for a different aesthetic. Rooms have an Asian quality, thanks to full-slate bathrooms, amber lighting, bamboo floors and platform beds. Black-and-white jacquard-printed drapes create more sex appeal.

Features

The hotel tends to the needs of guests, from VIPs to budget travelers. A shuttle runs every day from Miami International Airport to pick up visitors.

 

Every night, the lobby bar hosts a free happy hour between 7 p.m. and 8 p.m. Free VIP passes to area clubs allows for smooth entry past the velvet rope.

Perfect in every way!

This place is awesome. Ray the bar tender was outstanding. the area in front of the hotel is set up nicely if you like to just eat drink and people watch. The accommodations were excellent and the staff were great! Hated to go. I would recommend this hotel to anyone! Gary

NOT WORTH IT IF YOU WANT PRIVATE TIME

STAYED HERE FOR 5 DAYS AND IT WAS EXTREMELY LOUD THEY HAD A DJ PLAYING FROM 10 AM UNTIL 5 AM ALL 5 DAYS. POOR LIGHTING IN THE ROOMS AND THE ELEVATOR LOOKED LIKE A CLOSET IT IS A GREAT AREA TO JUST PARTY BUT TO HAVE SOME GOOD REST AFTER A NIGHT OF DRINKING NO WAY.

Horrible

Do not stay here ! Checked in and first thing I saw was a big cockroach ! Front desk girl was rude and glared at me the whole eight days I stayed there . Loud music you cannot get away from roaches in the room and they try to charge you 40 extra a night for 2 people instead of one . Don't do it stayed in many hotels in the past in south beach this by far was the worst !

Cautiously calling it great

I saw a lot of reviews warning me to be wary of unauthorized charges and loud music after I booked. I'm willing to call this place great as none of those things happened to me. But i'm not saying it couldn't happen to you, so be careful when you stay here. This is a great place if you're looking to party, chill and enjoy South Beach. Not so much if you're a family. Make sure to get a room on the upper floors or else you will hear the house music that seems to be continually playing. For guests, they have an awesome deal called happy hour where guests get unlimited drinks between 7 and 8 everyday. You read that right. Our room was clean and had a great interior design. Make sure you do an inventory of the liquor to avoid those pesky charges. As long as you do that, you should be fine and have a great time in South Beach.

Great boutique hotel!

Very nicely decorated boutique hotel right in the middle of everything. Definitely recommend. The bartender was very chatty and helped us get a deal for an evening out starting with cocktail hour at one of their sister hotels and then a limo ride to an old Miami club. Had a great time!
