The hotel

Situated in the playground of the rich and famous, this is a playful concoction of sophistication, elegance and exemplary service right on the beach, just minutes from Ocean Drive. Elegant and luxuriously feminine, with an added contemporary edge, this accommodation really is fit for royalty, whilst the mirrors on the ceiling and box marked ‘sinners,’ add a very French twist to the otherwise demur décor. Designed in the style of a bathtub, there are 2 swimming pools which come complete with a 10 foot tall silver ‘rubber ducky’.

Staff are friendly here. However a suggestion for the from desk .. smarten up, it’s all a little casual like they are just hanging out there chilling. What we didn’t realize was the Delano hotel right next door is a construction site ! Literally has been stripped , now SLS can’t help this but the noise of construction is crazy. And looks like to continue for months. Probably explains why you can’t see out of the bedroom window? The music at the pool is in 2 halves the 1st pool and the second. The second we were told even as a guest there’s a min spend to use it! Crazy! But the 2 are defining you with contrasting music ( why not just pump the same music? ) At least it would be less annoying as you can’t concentrate nor decipher either… (then add the construction noise!) sounds like a bad remix! In general a nice hotel in its early years but now tired and dirty in parts. The corridors, carpets the lifts , even doors need cleaning. The Pools needs a deep clean. Missing tiles , tired dirty furniture, As do the general restrooms ( reminds me of those dodgy club toilets back in the day !) we also saw a hoover /vacuum held to ether with tape!! It’s a shame we were expecting to be wowed but weren’t sadly. Again the staff were great and deserve a cleaner slicker hotel which with work it could be . Read less

We stayed at the hotel over New Year’s Eve. The staff was truly the highlight of our experience. From Ricardo and Victoria the Manager’s behind the front desk on down, they made us feel like we were at home. We had a slight issue with the room and they made sure that everything was made right.

Friendly centrally located hotel in Miami Beach with a beautiful view on the sea and a very friendly staff! Only.....the room was far too small for a couple with full luggage. Nevertheless, we enjoyed our stay in Miami and at SLS South Beach Hotel.

Staying here currently. Pros: Nice location Comfy bed Great shower Cons: If you want a relaxing/noise free time by the pool forget it at this resort for the next few months. The hotel next door across the road has constant construction noise. Drilling/ sawing. Even though pool music turned up LOUD, couldn't drown out the incessant and obtrusive noise from neighboring property. Poor service- from the moment we checked in staff were clueless/ignorant of basic facts about the hotel. Conflicting information about advertised free shuttle car around Miami beach. Hyde beach- even if a guest there's a minimum spend to use the sun loungers (we were informed at check in only, no where on website). Beach- arrived to be informed 5 min wait for towels to be used on beach. 20 mins later of sitting on beach loungers, no towels. Saw some arriving 5 mins later. All 6 given to one person and informed it'll be another 20 minute wait. I walked back to hotel (10 min walk) no towels by pool. Front desk couldn't help. Personally walked sup 19 stories to find a rag tag of towels we could use by beach. All this may sound inconsequential and "Karen"ish, but there are plenty of hotels at this (high) price point in Miami and we chose this one believing we would get good value for what we paid. In reality the soft skills here are really poor and it's all style over substance. Spend you hard earned cash elsewhere. Read less

Room is crazy small. Main lobby area is nice but smells like cigarette. Pool is beautiful but very noisy on Saturdays and sun doesn’t hit the pool. Beach service is nice with the chance to get a sunbed. Bar restaurant was good. Katsuya sushi restaurant was average.
