SLS Hotel South Beach

South Beach, Miami

Virgin rating

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’.

The room was too small for a weeks stay. No where to put clothes, had to live out of suit case. Expected a kingsize bed instead of two 3/4 beds which took up too much room. Shower was good but prefer a bath aswell. Breakfast (and staff)was excellent . Pool and sun beds were dirty and dated.

Amazing location on Collins and off Lincoln. Beach access and amenities are perfect. Shower water pressure ***** A very chic and fun hotel. Very convenient to have a house car that brings you to lunch or dinner nearby. The staffs are great and the pool gets a lot of shades. The rooms are nice and quiet even though all the actions are super close… Read more

Very average. The location is great, on Collins Ave and close enough to walk to South Beach. My room was very small and the bathroom miniscule but had a beautiful sea view. The property itself is tired and dated, desperately in need of refurbishment. There are only 2 lifts and take forever to arrive. The pool area is in shade for 90% of the day… Read more
Very average. The location is great, on Collins Ave and close enough to walk to South Beach. My room was very small and the bathroom miniscule but had a beautiful sea view. The property itself is tired and dated, desperately in need of refurbishment. There are only 2 lifts and take forever to arrive. The pool area is in shade for 90% of the day which made it easy to procure a sunbed. There is a smaller shabbier pool at the end of the main pool, which is called the 'Hyde' for which the hotel charges a minimum of $500 to sit beside even when resident. All in all not horrendous but much pleasanter and better value options are available. I wouldn't return Read less

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
