SLS South Beach is a beautiful, fun, luxurious, and hip boutique hotel located just steps from the beach, with great walking distance to South Beach nightlife, Lincoln Road, and Art Deco architecture. The hotel itself is immaculate with beautifully designed interiors. Guests describe a seamless check-in experience and very nice staff who go above and beyond, offering personal service and making them feel welcomed. Rooms are clean and comfortable, featuring pillow-top mattresses, rainfall showers, Lavazza espresso makers, robes, and complimentary slippers. Some rooms are spacious with ocean views, while others are noted as small but well-equipped. Higher floors are recommended for better views. The pool area is a highlight, described as pure bliss with a picturesque setting, crystal clear water, comfortable loungers, and umbrellas. It offers both a serene, relaxed atmosphere on weekdays and a super party atmosphere at the Hyde Beach poolside on weekends. Poolside service is prompt and friendly. The hotel boasts several restaurants, including Katsuya for Japanese dining and Bar Central. Food quality is outstanding with creative dishes, though some note breakfast can be inconsistent and there is sticker shock on prices, which are comparable for the area. The gym is small and unremarkable. A resort fee applies, but the convenience of included beach chairs, umbrellas, and towels is appreciated. The location is exceptionally convenient for both pool and beach access, making for a wonderful stay that guests highly recommend and look forward to returning to.

Very loud when I was there. I'm not sure they have any more than 5 floors, stayed 3 times, floors 2,3 and 5 only because I asked. To expensive for the basement.
