Hotel Review: The Hall South Beach, Miami Beach, Florida @TheHallsobe

We have stayed in a number of luxurious resorts and spas in Miami and these hotels have always exceeded our expectations. So when it was time to check out other places to stay, we have already elevated our standards. Question now is, did The Hall made it to one of our favorites?

Welcome Drink and a fruit platter!

Hotel Review: The Hall Miami, Miami Beach, FloridaThe Hall is a boutique hotel in South Beach Miami or SoBe, which is a 1940’s Art Deco transformed into this beautiful bohemian – inspired property perfect for artsy tourists, like us! It is strategically located just one block from the ocean, few steps away from the famous shopping/ dining district, Lincoln Road and, the Ocean Drive. If you want accessibility, then this could the perfect choice. Almost everything is minutes away.

PEOPLE

We all know Miami can get pretty hot! And that sometimes erases the smile from our faces. However, the people from The Hall seems not to feel the heat of the sun as they always greet you with the largest smiles on their faces. Indeed, it brightened up our stay. Their kindness is pretty much consistent from the day they gave us our welcome cocktails, to the day we checked out. I really commend the services the staff has given us. Thumbs up!

ACCOMMODATION

All rooms will remind you of the Caribbean given the colors of the walls. And of course, the beach – inspired art pieces inside the rooms will constantly remind you to hit the beach instantly. But what I really like is their hardwood floors which reminds us of the old and simple architecture back then. It’s a mixture of classic and contemporary design. I would like to think it matches our personality, don’t you think? You can choose from the Deluxe King, Premier Queen, Pool View King, Deluxe Queen and Pool View Suite. Here’s what to expect from each room.

FOOD

Ah, my favorite part.

If you want an exquisite beach – inspired food, then Sunny’s will fulfill that craving of yours. Spike Mendelsohn, the restaurant’s chef, does not make his creations by the book, but he was able to create impeccable dishes from his actual travel experiences. Trust us, his food will take you to different continents. It is absolutely good in so many levels.

  • They have breakfast, brunch, dessert, juices and of course, an all-day menu depending on your taste palate. You can even ask them to deliver your food in your room.
    Catch the breakfast at 7AM – 12PM, Mondays to Fridays and 7AM – 1PM on Weekends

TIPS

Get a room with a pool view so you can enjoy further your morning newspaper or hot beverage. It is always peaceful to see calm waters before you. Just because you can’t have a full view of the beach, doesn’t mean you can’t get that same feeling of tranquility.
