Overall Rating: 6 Location [8] • Room [6] • Service [10] • Value [6] Stayed with my wife at the Essex hotel on the last night of our trip to Florida and we were pretty surprised the hotel was not up to above average standards. The rooms smelt of smoke heavily and the bed spread had iron marks on it. Then the next day they were doing lots of construction in the hallway, so it made it quite noisy in the morning. Overall, I felt the hotel to be very average. There is ... [more]convenient parking located near by the hotel, which is good if you have a car. [less]

Overall Rating: 10 Location [10] • Room [8] • Service [8] • Value [10] I have stayed here many times over the years and the staff always remebers me when I come back. Thce servie is wonderful and the location couldn't be better. Though not right on the ocean they do feature ma small quaint pool and it is only 1 block away from the hottest part of the Miami strip(restaurants/clubs/shopping). Not to mention only a few blocks away from my favorite place to eat The N... [more]ews Cafe.
The regular rooms are small BUT ask for one of the suites(not much more $)and you will find yourself in a beautiful suite with a huge bathroom(including 2 person jacuzzi tub and a tv) and a spacious sitting area with a wet bar that faces a small court yard. [less]

View All User Reviews for Essex House Hotel [6] Built in l938 just a block from the white sand beaches, the Essex House Hotel is a landmark amid the hot and hopping South Beach clubs, cafes and designer boutiques synonymous with Miami Beach glitz and glitter and sensuality. Beach shops will outfit beachgoers from the Essex with Jet Skis, volleyballs, and chairs. Flamingo Park, three blocks away on the beach, features tennis and basketball courts. Golf aficionados will delight that they are so close to Miami Beach and Haulover Beach Park golf clubs. Back at the hotel, the intimate lobby is stylized with Art Deco furniture, carpet and tile, and people watchers can loll in an outdoor verandah with ceiling fans. To pamper guests, the hotel offers in room massage and spa services, outdoor jetted splash pool surrounded by a garden courtyard with bubbling fountain, and complimentary continental breakfasts and happy hours. Guestrooms are festooned with custom Deco styled furnishings with russet upholstered chairs, oval mahogany entertainment units and matching mahogany desks. The rooms include complimentary premium channels, refrigerators, minibars, marble baths, pedestal sinks, bathrobes, and fancy Gilchrist and Soames toiletries. With advanced notice as early in the day as possible, staff members at the front desk, who are walking encyclopedias of everything South Beach, can arrange VIP access for Essex House patrons to popular area clubs, such as Prive, Pearl and Crobar, especially in the September March peak season. So guests should be nice to them. Otherwise, they stand about as much of a chance as a snowball's chance on the beach of getting into the clubs on their own.
