Other amenities include private beach service, a 24-hour fitness center with Peloton bikes, the Lobby Bar and Rooftop Pool Bar, The Betsy Library, and the Carlton Room, a working lounge complete with a coffee shop.

Lincoln Road
Shopping

Like the rest of South Beach, Lincoln Road is fun, colorful, and offers plenty to do. But unlike the fabulous stretches of Washington Avenue, Ocean Drive, and Collins Avenue, this miles-long road is completely pedestrian-friendly, which means not a single car, bus, trolley or motorcycle will distract you from the shops, restaurants, galleries, and shows all worth heading to. From morning to night, Lincoln Road vibrantly welcomes both tourists and locals alike to enjoy a leisurely stroll past the gawk-worthy window displays, personable street performers, and outdoor dining areas designed for people watching. A day well spent on Lincoln Road may include an early brunch, afternoon shopping, evening drinks and an outdoor movie.

Art Deco District
Historical landmark
0 mi
South Beach is home to the famed “Art Deco District’, with the world's largest collection of over 800 art-deco buildings from the 1930s and 40s, and is listed in the National Register of Historic Places. As you stroll down Ocean Drive, you’ll recognize Art Deco buildings by their gentle pastel colors, which contrast with architecture that is rigid and cubistic. Enjoy the unique ornaments and decorations too that include nautical motifs, neon lines, and terrazzo floors. (Betsy too has a Terrazzo Floor; while the hotel underwent a complete restoration in 2009, it lobby floor is the original.) To get acquainted with this dazzling collection, visit The Art Deco Welcome Center, located at 10th and Ocean where guided and self-guided tours are on offer year round.

Espanola Way
Shopping

Venture out on Espanola Way where you’ll find a charming enclave of boutiques and restaurants, with the distinct feel of a quaint Spanish village. Our location around the corner from Espanola Way reinforces that notion, in so many ways. Espanola Way is less than a five- minute walk away, and something 'not to miss' while you're visiting South Beach.Espanola Way is a short and narrow pedestrian alley in the heart of South Beach – with low-rise buildings in pastel colors (pink predominantly) which used to be an artists’ district. It really has the feeling of an old and traditional Spanish village, though it is not – as it was designed by the very American Robert Taylor in 1925. Espanola Way is full of art galleries, bars, restaurants, and quaint shops. While it comes to life in the mid-afternoon, you can also enjoy a quiet cup of coffee and a pastry there in the morning. And you will often find the party going until the wee hours of the morning.

Phuc yea
Phuc yea
multi-city
Who we are Undoubtedly tongue in cheek, the word "Phuc" actually means "blessings and prosperity." Not only is “Phuc” the best word in the UrbanDictionary, but it actually means something positive - Phuc Yea! In 2011, Phuc Yea opened in downtown Miami as the city's first pop-up concept. Fueled by old school hip hop, graffiti and a love for life, Zapata and Meinhold's rendition of Vietnamese cuisine is deeply inspired by family recipes as well as the flavors of the Mekong, but fused with their personal experiences and cooking styles. The food is distinctly 'theirs', vibrant, bold and layered. Half Colombian, half Viet, this is not your classic Viet spot. It’s next level Vietnamese; we have created our own style and flow. Phuc Yea’s culinary inspiration is a mash up of Meinhold’s ethnic heritage and Zapata’s culinary background. Ani, as Meinhold is known, is Vietnamese on her mother’s side and many of the classic recipes on the menu stem from family recipes and traditions. Leave your expectations at the door - no pho, no noodles, 100% conceptual. Today, Phuc Yea has matured and found its brick-and-mortar home in the heart of Miami's MiMo district, an historically designated neighborhood famous for its Art Deco architectural style. Built in the former Sir Williams Hotel, Phuc yea sprawls the first level of the building. The space is separated into three areas, a more sophisticated setting offers a lush lobby lounge anchored by a 15' raw bar just at the main entrance of the space perfectly set for oysters and cocktails, speakeasy-esque dining room with private and semi private dining zones are located in the mezzanine level, and the Lantern Garden during the cooler months is in the rear patio. Decor is a combination of mid-century modern sleekness, street art and traditional Asian accents.

A Fish Called Avalon
A Fish Called Avalon
multi-city
A Fish Called Avalon offers an elegant yet relaxed take on modern American seafood with tropical influences, right in the heart of South Beach. The food is widely praised for its freshness, generous portions, and creative preparations—favorites include the Macadamia-Crusted Snapper with spinach risotto, citrus chicken, and the signature orzo paella brimming with fresh seafood and lobster. Dishes like Bang Bang Shrimp and Burrata appetizers add a twist, and desserts like the award-winning Key Lime Pie and homemade gelato round things out impressively. Beyond the plate, the ambiance stands out: think stylish Art Deco atmosphere, floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking Ocean Drive, and often live Caribbean, Latin, or jazz music. Service is consistently noted as warm and professional, creating an inviting experience whether you’re dining indoors or alfresco on the patio. It’s a favorite spot for both special occasions and casual nights out, offering a perfect blend of fine dining and classic Miami Beach vibe.
