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.

Miami Skyline
Great South Beach location
Nice hotel. Very friendly staff; i had brought a friend down with an extra car and the valet was very nice in negotiating a lower rate for my friends car since they werent staying. Just a couple blocks from all the best shopping, resturaunts, nightclubs in SOBE. Beautiful pool/hottub area with beach access.. only complaint is that the pool area and beach access are closed way too early in the night.

miami trip
The Richmond hotel has quite basic amenities but scores a big plus for location and the friendly and helpful staff. We used the hotel simply as a base and only slept and showered there as we were out enjoying Miami the rest of the time. Its a good basic hotel, the rooms were clean and comfortable but it lacks the wow factor of other hotels in the area.

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!!!!

Meh....great location, not so great hote
Went down to Miami for a relaxing few days with a girlfriend. The hotel was just a room to sleep in basically. It was small, and because of the "energy efficiency", the power was off (including the AC) until we checked in so the room was very humid, all the bedding was damp from the humidity. The television was mounted on the wall flat to the complete left of the room, so if you were on the right side of the bed, the television viewing was out of the question. They were doing construction on the front lobby so every time you walked out or in you had to walk through it. No free wireless, no free breakfast, no vouchers for using chairs and umbrellas at the beach. Just a room, to sleep in, and nothing more. The only thing that was nice was the location, able to walk to shopping, restaurants, and the beach but that is all this hotel had to offer.

Big Mistake! Don't go!
Staying in this hotel is my biggest mistake! The hotel service sucks. There is only one blanket per room, and either me or my roommate has to sleep with nothing! The stuff here speak poor English and are really rude. Aren't hotel supposed to put customers' needs first?? I just ask for ONE THING!! and the twin beds are not even 1 meter wide. Really disappointed!

Dated but nice
PROS: The hotel is in a great location (central to EVERYTHING on South Beach); Oceanfront with a pool and hot tub; Friendly & accommodating staff; Priced exceptionally well for location & amenities; Quiet; Got there early (10 AM) and the room was already ready; Bartender & restaurant staff we're very nice (and made really good drinks) CONS: Some of the facilities (lobby, pool deck, and hotel rooms mostly) can come off as a little dated and in need of refurbishment; the pool's filter system wasn't working properly when we were there, so the deep end sometimes had a weird pollen film on it; the hotel doesn't have it's own chairs for the beach All in all it was exactly what we were looking for--something centrally located with the essential amenities (pool, beach access, close to night life) for a moderate price. Happy to recommend to those looking to stay in the heart of South Beach on a budget.

Money-saving tip:
Not Applicable
Take the Miami Airport Flyer (bus route 150) to and from the airport. It's only $2.35/person (as of Oct. 2010) and it took only slightly longer than the $32+ cab ride (it also stops directly across the street from the hotel). The Miami Beach Local Shuttle also loops around Miami Beach for $0.25.
