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.

romantic getaway
I really enjoyed the fact that you could walk out the back of the hotel and be on the beach. We stayed on a Thursday night and there didn't seem to be a lot of people there. There was live music next door that we enjoyed listening to Thursday night. The hotel is old but they seem to keep up on it. The down stairs was being painted when we were there. The staff was friendly though a bit slow. The Richmond was in a good location on the beach and within walking distance of stores, I would stay there again.

Convenient Location
The Richmond was a great hotel for the price, and the location was excellent because I wanted to stay close to all the action on Ocean Dr. and the beaches. It's within a block or two to all the restaurants and the shopping area. The room was clean and just big enough for the two of us.

The hotel has direct beach access, and you can even take a nice short walk to the restaurants or even Starbuck's for your morning coffee which is important for me. You can rent beach chairs and umbrellas on the beach just outside the hotel too.

Great Value!
This is a great value for the money. The location was ideal. Near Lincoln Road and right on the beach. The room was well kept and large enough. The facilities were well maintained. I enjoyed my stay and would recommend the hotel to others.

Very friendly
I just want more water form the shower. Is weak the water pressure. I think the best of this hotel are the kindness and the bed. Is missing a little more care about the cleanliness.

Good location
The Richmond hotel was a very nice place to celebrate our anniversary. The staff was very professional and helpful. The room was excellant with a view of the pool and the ocean. The only negitive was the $35.00 a day for parking, although there is a public lot three blocks away that charges $15.00.

Vacation Friendly/Not for Business
The hotel location was excellent. It not only had a charm to it, but the hotel and the grounds were very well maintained. The staff was very friendly and did thier job well. The pool area has a lot of palm trees so that over half the area has no sun, which can be positive or negative depending on how much you want to get burned by the Florida sun. The hotel is old so the wiring ine rooms is fragile and one could not plug in a laptop and have the light on at the same time. Had to use the laptop on the bed, a little inconvenient.

The Lincoln Mall with both shopping and dining and people watching is nearby as well as the hotel has nice access to the ocean beach. A wonderful boardwalk goes for a mile or so that is between the beach and the hotels along the way so that your walk to anywhere can be done in beautiful setting.
