This intimate, Art Deco original is near all the best of South Beach
The Richmond bills itself as "Miami Beach's friendliest hotel." The same family has operated the business since it opened its doors in 1941, and the 92-room property is a local favorite. The oceanfront hotel and its neon-flooded exterior and original terrazzo floors fit in with its Art Deco neighbors. South Beach clubs, restaurants and shops are only a stroll away. Lush greenery delivers a sense of Hollywood glamour.
Highlights
- Family-run Art Deco hotel
- Beach path
- Within walking distance to Ocean Drive, Lincoln Road and Collins Avenue
- Heated outdoor pool surrounded by lush gardens
- Rooftop terrace and heated half moon spa and coconut palm patio
Rooms
Room decor throws nods to old-world Florida with the vintage postcard-type framed prints and palm printed curtains as focal points. Look for retro details, too, such as Art Deco floor lamps, seafoam- and black-colored tile bathrooms, a 1930s-inspired clock, blond oak headboards and accent pieces. In case of a rain shower, which is common in South Florida, grab the red umbrella in the closet. Wi-Fi and high-speed Internet can be accessed for an additional charge.
Features
The Richmond's boutique identity adds to its intimacy. Nice touches include a cement path leading to a wood boardwalk and a half-moon spa tub strategically placed in front of a winding stream. On the rooftop terrace and solarium, take in the neon lights from South Beach. An on-site cafe serves breakfast until mid-afternoon, and by night, guests can sip cocktails on the front porch.

Great getaway
We had no idea where to book and reviews were horribly mixed. So glad we went with The Richmond Hotel. Walked everywhere and were treated great by the staff. Rooms did get a little humid when air shut off. Drinks & snacks at poolside were terrific, pricey but a good size and great taste and certainly convenient. It is an older building so expect that. Pool & hot tub area are beautiful. WILL be staying there again as soon as possible.

take the Airport Flyer from MIA to hotel for $2.35 per person. It will save you more than $30 each way!

We could hear the people in next (adjoining) room, I mean every sound. The staff was very nice and moved us to the first available room. We enjoyed the location, the very nice pool, breakfast & the beach. Avoid adjoining rooms!!

Clean, Comfortable
I have not been at a South Beach hotel in quite sometime (I live in Miami so there never is a need anymore). I just needed a little getaway. The rooms were typically small and nothing fancy but comfortable. I liked the closeness to the beach.

Decent for business
We were in town for the boat show and the location of the hotel was great. Staff was very friendly and helpful. My only complaint is that our room was on the first floor and the doors are not insulated to sound at all. Anybody walking past our room that was talking we could here every word perfectly. Not a nice way to wake up. No view of course, other than the walls of the hotel next door. And no coffee maker in the room which is ridiculous. You can buy it at the little bistro for about $3.10...

Weekend Getaway
What a great hotel in a great location. The Richmond is a art-deco gem and is centrally-located in South Beach and a short walk to either Lincoln Road and Ocean Drive, but far enough away so that you don't hear the hustle and bustle all night long. The pool area is beautiful and our breakfast overlooking the pool area was very nice. We booked a room without a view and the room was clean and functional. The staff was excellent expecially those at the front desk and the valet. Overall, I would recommend this hotel as a good value for the area.

failed to deliver
I showed up at 1:30 to register and the room would not be available until 4:30. I signed the documents and showed up at 7:30 to find that they had let the room out to someone else. I was put up in their apartment across the street and parking was comped but it was not satisfactory. Nice facility I think but management is inept.

GREAT TIME
The Richmond was a great hotel! the pool was AMAZINGGG!!! the staff was very friendly and willing to help! The rooms were VERY CLEAN which was a big deal for us! The room are average size, not too big but still a good size for a couple! the AC worked GREAT! we were actually cold !!!! the only suggestion I have is that the hotel should have more entertainment ! We stood over during the raining season, but were lucky to get 2 days of great sunshine =) however, when it did rain we could hear the music and dj's from all the hotels around us while the richmond was dead silent!!!! a little bit of music or some type of entertainment would def. improve this hotel!!!!

Things have changed...
Sad to see a wonderful little boutique hotel go down the drain... fights at 3am in the hallway; vomit next to chaise lounges at the pool in the morning, needs better upkeep. Will not stay there any longer. Sorry.
