Miami boutique hotel on Washington Avenue with cabanas, VIP club access.

This 49-room boutique hotel packs in the amenities on the fashionable Washington Avenue. Guests can live like South Beach locals with complimentary passes to nightclubs, alfresco dining and private cabanas for people watching. Look for feng shui spaces with bamboo floors, soft lighting and floating Japanese-style furniture.

Highlights
  • Free shuttle from Miami International Airport to the hotel
  • Free cocktails between 7 p.m. and 8 p.m.
  • Two blocks from Ocean Drive and close to South Beach nightclubs
  • VIP passes to clubs
  • Free Wi-Fi throughout the property
Rooms

South Beach is a mix of Mediterranean, Miami modern and Art Deco styles, but the Chelsea Hotel opts for a different aesthetic. Rooms have an Asian quality, thanks to full-slate bathrooms, amber lighting, bamboo floors and platform beds. Black-and-white jacquard-printed drapes create more sex appeal.

Features

The hotel tends to the needs of guests, from VIPs to budget travelers. A shuttle runs every day from Miami International Airport to pick up visitors.

 

Every night, the lobby bar hosts a free happy hour between 7 p.m. and 8 p.m. Free VIP passes to area clubs allows for smooth entry past the velvet rope.

NOT BAD

Well i read the reviews on this hotel before i arrived and had some reservations but it turned out to be not so bad. There is a DJ that plays music every other night, which wasn't as bad as some of the reviews made it out to be. The hotels location was perfect with multiple places to eat and shop right outside and there is also a Bank Of America right next door. The room is small but i didnt need much. The only complaint i would have is the shower, Sometimes in their attempt to be "different" in their decor these hotels make decisions that aren't practical..the shower had glass that only covered 3/4 of the shower opening maybe....so there was that 1/4 left with no glass and no door to close so everytime you took a shower water splashed all over the bathroom floor..oh and the back of the shower was mirrored..which was kind of HOT..lol....Overall it was not bad....Staff was great..John at the front desk, great guy...

Comfy accomodations at the Chelsea

Need a room for a quick getaway without a need to rent a car. The hotel was within walking distance from decent restaurants on Ocean Drive and very nice beaches. The room was small but adequate and pleasant enough. For the price we thought it was good value and had a cute vibe.

jusy ok

It was just ok. The rooms are small but it was nice. Plenty of food options nearby and in the hotel itself was actually good. There is a drug store across the street that came in handy. Our only problem was the hot water on the shower faucet was stripped out and we had to do alott of work to get hot water

Chelsea Hotel

I liked the atmosphere and decor of the hotel, but there were people yelling outside our door all hours of the night. I didn't get much sleep. It was a good location - close to the beach, restaurants, and shops

Booked Chelsea stayed at Chesterfield

showed up at the hotel and they said they didn't have a room for me even though i got a confirmation from [...]. they said they had a sister hotel, the chesterfield, a block away and sent me walking. not a great first impression. but the sister hotel room was actually pretty nice. pleasantly surprised, good value.

Fine stay

Room was nice (small) the maid service was good. While I was sleeping the person I was staying with brought someone to our room and the next morning my phone was gone. South Beach is fun, loud, diverse and a non-stop party (if you want it). The bar manager was very up-tight and yelled at me for walking down into the lobby with a beer from my room.

Nightlife tip: Short walk from hotel

Don't walk alone at night. Don't let strangers - no matter how nice they may seem - in your room. There's a population of people who make a living off of preying on tourists.

good location

The hotel was small, and there was no wifi unless you had a room close to the lobby, which I requested. The hotel staff is nice, and I did enjoy my stay. The hotel is located in a good spot. It is right next to the beaches, clubs and shopping centers.

Every thing is in walking distance and parking is very expensive all over South Beach. Unless you are planning to leave South Beach on your vacation a car is not needed. Parking meters charge you more than a dollar an hour 9am to 3am every day even holidays.
