    The Leslie hotel is an Art deco treasure located right on Ocean drive. What is art deco? Most of the Art Deco buildings in Miami were built during the 1930s and 1940s and are considered to be part of the second wave of Art Deco known as Streamline Moderne. With our tropical, seaside influences, Miami's Art Deco buildings are sometimes distinguished as Tropical Deco, characterized with pastel colors, floral and aquatic embellishments, and nautical designs reminiscent of ocean liners. The leslie offers 35 Rooms and is classed as an Art Deco Boutique Hotel. It features a Restaurant, a bar, A lounge, business center, media and game room, gym and a rooftop terrace and pool.

    If I could give this hotel zero stars I would, the worst customer service ever. DO NOT STAY HERE! I repeat, do not stay here. They get your money and then treat you like you aren't a paying guest. They racially profiled my friends and I during our girls trip in Miami'. We walked in and they assumed we weren't guest and immediately began to be rude and nonchalant towards us. We had no issue giving them our room number and ID's but they continued to badger us and when we asked for management information, they wouldn't even tell us the managements information to complain. Wendy and Octavio need to be fired. I will be spreading the word that this hotel is not worth the money or time. I am requesting that management get in contact with me about my experience ASAP. The employee's in these photos need to be fired . We made them aware of our issue and not alone did Wendy ignore us in our face but she also refused to give us the contact information of the property manager or anyone else for that matter. She did not care if the situation was rectified or not. I'll be filing a complaint with the better business bureau as well. I have video footage of the full exchange that took place on Friday, July 22nd.

    The location is impeccable and the service was very good, so the checkin was a breeze. The room was very nicely decorated and spacious. I loved the rooftop pool area, although it does need some attention. Some of the cabana couch areas are missing their roof and the lounge chairs by the jacuzzi are missing their pads, so it's difficult to sit on. I was very surprised that there wasn't a bar or food here anymore. There aren't any tables out front or breakfast option. Based on previous reviews, it seems like it must have been removed.

    This hotel gets a lot of things wrong, and not much right. The bad: It's expected to have a poor view - but this view of the alley was terrible. And added to non stop noise issues. Included the 8:30am garbage truck pick up. In addition, anytime someone walked across their room upstairs you could hear it. There was an overwhelming smell in the room upon arrival - like someone sprayed a scent to cover something up. We finally discovered a glade plug-in. Removing it helped that. The hotel offers "beach chairs and towels". You are better renting a chair at the beach. The front desk refused an additional towel for our party and also told us we couldn't take one from the room. (Where do you want me to get an extra beach towel?). This was the theme of service from the front desk. The bar publishes that they have a bar when they do not. Want a drink from next door? $30 for a margarita. Middle of the road: TV was broken. It was quickly fixed by a hotel rep but the solution was letting the cable box hang below the TV. The ok: The pool is a nice escape and gets great sun. Some of the other guests were not respectful with their smoking or music in the pool and the attendant did nothing to correct it. If you want a cocktail - be prepared to bring your own. We thought we might be having a unique experience - but after visiting with other couples at the hotel it was clear we were not alone. We confirmed that other guests had done what we had done - taken a loss on their rooms for a few evenings and ventured out to other parts of Florida to salvage their vacation. I would advise staying blocks away from South Beach. If you must stay there - pick a different hotel.

    We loved this exquisite boutique hotel so much we came back in February! Located in the heart of the Art Deco district in Miami's South Beach, it is steps away from almost everything you would want for a fun get away. The staff is extremely helpful and attentive to all your needs and have suggestions for activities too. The cherry on top is Daryl the night manager, not only is he one of the nicest people we have met, he is also the best dressed man in South Beach and on Ocean Drive!Be sure to say Hi to him when there...he has lots of suggestions for unique hidden gems in all of Miami. It's fun to sit on the porch in the evenings and people watch too!

    Right in the middle of all the action, is this hotel. Conveniently located right in the heart of Ocean Dr. You don't have to really go anywhere, the view is amazing. People watching is very entertaining from the front porch. Staff was extremely accommodating. Lilly went above and beyond to make our stay memorable. The rest of the staff was just as pleasant. If I ever come back, this is the place I would stay. They have the rooftop pool area and many restaurants in walking distance.

    The business decides to respond 3 months after my review: USELESS. The business's response contained a generic apology for the inconvenience but never a follow up directly to the customer for the actual incidents considering I gave very specific examples as to why they sucked: USELESS. Just because you responded doesn't mean you resolved it. Let's make that clear. Your aim to high standards is a complete phony considering you can't even respond and resolve in a timely manner, and that by responding, you think that it closes out the issues presented. If you care for your customers, try harder than what you did here.

    This hotel is located right on ocean drive in south beach. It looks pretty much like any other Art Deco hotel on the strip. Outside seating with music that's not too much, we sat in the corner away from the speakers. Outside visitors bathrooms are gross, it's like pool ones and not maintained. Inside the lobby is simple and clean. Prices during Art Basel are extremely high. For some reason the receptionist kept charging 2 nights even it was only 1 night and kept being repeated. We got charged for 2 nights at the Art Basel rate that's ridiculous. There's 1 elevator. It took us to the second floor where our rooms were. Rooms are very pretty, romantic with the drapes. Bathroom has a modern rain shower. The samples to use are basic (no body lotion, shower cap, etc. but only bare necessities provided). There's a mini fridge and safe which are a big plus!! Beds were comfortable and I slept good. Except for the noise from room service non stop all morning intentionally to get you out. Like chit chatting out in the hallway. The roof top is gorgeous and best part of this hotel! Pool, hot tub and beautiful seating booths. There's handicap elevator. The complimentary breakfast was terrible. You better of with Mc donalds all day breakfast than eating here. Besides the fruit salad nothing was appetizing to me personally. But it's included in the very expensive room. The hotel phone number listed on google and their website does not work.

    Review is based of the food. But the hotel is in a prime location right on Colin's. Service - Workers here and all up and down the strip are a bit pushy trying to sell you on the deals. Aside that the service was good, had to wave down people once for a refill on our drinks. Food / Price - Small portions with okay taste and flavor but for the price can't beat it. Deals - They offer a buy one get one free on drinks thats a really good deal. Breakfast deals are great also. Views - Amazing as you can sit and enjoy food and drinks, while seating down looking at people cruise and walk down Colins. Would come back.

My gf and I stopped through here on our way out before boarding our flights later in the afternoon. If you're toting your luggage and not a hotel guest, you will have to find another hotel to store your luggage while enjoying this most decadent brunch experience. Luckily we arrived early enough to our reservations to sort that out. Reservations are a must if you don't want to wait. The restaurant is gorgeous with various spaces designed differently but keeps to the exotic Asian theme. Dining in the atrium near the water feature in the middle with stage for the musicians is where we had our experience. Olga was our server. She brought us our special beverages not available at the bar: Bloody Mary's and endless bubbly in our glasses The offerings here are more than I can name, but there is something to satisfy every craving. The favorite for me is the caviar bar. It comes with all the proper fixings on a blini with Crème fraîche. Do you need a vodka shot to go with? Yes, that's also available also at the caviar station. Fresh raw oysters, clams or shrimp cocktail is available in abundance with everything else here. The ceviche was great. I passed on all the various noodles but had to have some lamb curry and basmati rice- delicious! I had some Peking Duck and leg of lamb at the meat station. The filet mignon and lamb chops was ordered and brought to the table. The leg of lamb and filet were slightly dry but still good. The lamb chops with chimichurri sauce was amazing- nuances of vibrant flavors. Assorted fresh fruits were a colorful collection of enticements. I saw some papaya and enjoyed its fresh, sweet juiciness. I am not a dessert person but had to try the key like pie. Then of course, the matcha dessert is a sitting temptation next to the pie. So, my dessert spoils were more than intended. What the hell right? Lol That was the sweet ending to my Setai brunch. There was so much more such as bread, fried stuff, eggs, bagel station, toast etc. One can only eat so much. I stuck to enjoying my favorites. The experience is pricey but so worth it. It is truly the best brunch experience I've ever had. - better than Vegas and a cruise ship!! I always have to experience a Setai brunch whenever in Miami!

    I love this hotel, the pool, the beach, the restaurants and the valmont spa. We had a great time…read more Please note that the spa reception is on the first floor across from the hotel check-in. You must walk through the lobby and across the outside area. The sauna and the one person steam shower is located here. You Check-in then you get changed into the robe and walk across the lobby check-in area to the elevators. You are walking through the area with all the guests and their luggage in your super large robe that doesn't close very well. I did not enjoy this. Some disappointing things which was not their fault is the parking garage construction noise even on Sundays. The noise took away from my spa experience. They did nothing for the noise control. Also, the SPA requests you must arrive 30 minutes before your treatment time. I got my parking validated BUT we stayed for brunch who also validated our parking but we went over the 4 hours so we got no discount for parking and we were charged the full $35 fee plus tip for the valet. The valet staff was quite nasty telling me we were there too long for the discount BUT each one of those alone qualified for a discounted valet. You can not do both in the 4 hour window.

The walk around the area is pleasant, and the overall atmosphere feels fun and relaxed.

The eggs were nicely cooked, potatoes had great flavor but were a bit cold and very fresh but I imagine freshly made are very solid. The toast was not bad. Avocado was fresh.

It also has some benefits to be a Marriott Bonvoy member which gave us some minor perks with bonus points on spend, complimentary wi-fi, mobile check in along with some property credits which we used for the spa and happy hour at the bar.

    Very disappointed with my stay at the Marriott Stanton South Beach. I had written approval for a…read morelate checkout, yet an employee named Chas called and aggressively demanded I leave by 1 PM or be charged another night. His tone was rude and completely unprofessional, even after I explained I had authorization. This kind of behavior is unacceptable and far below Marriott's standards. It ruined what should have been an enjoyable stay.

    Soooo...overall a pleasant stay in spite of my two stars. But here's the thing...if we paid $200 a…read morenight I would rate this a four star. However since we paid tripple that price I have to be way more critical. The staff makes it extra special. They were all friendly and had the "I can do it for you attitude." Kudos to the staff. Our "up-graded" room facing half ocean/city was tiny, a tad worn, had a very nice view, and non impressive toiletrees. The worst part of our room was the side of the hotel we were on. Our room was on the industrial exhaust fans side and it was extremely noisy. Had to keep our balcony door closed to drown out the noise. The location of the hotel, as others mentioned is ideal. Now here is the scary part...we got stuck on the elevator two times. It wasn't a long time but enough to scare me especially since I am very claustrophobic. I ended up taking the stairs to the 9th floor the rest of our stay. They did fix the elevator but this happened to quite a few guests and they didn't shut the elevator. Our complimentary breakfast (free with my Marriott status) was not the best. Breakfast is served in the attached Mexican restaurant which is not owned by Marriott. It is not a buffet. Small menu with the basics. Food was fair. We enjoyed the pool and the short walk to the beach. The pool restaurant has the best hotdogs! And we also enjoyed the quinoa salad.

    Old school Miami Hotel that appears to have been retro'd NYC style. Next to busy road, but bay…read moreview. The rooms have been thoughtfully re-designed, but still have that cold Miami cinder block feel. In other words you won't do more than sleep in them. The pool area is fantastic with a bay view and plenty of chairs. Lido Grill, the main restaurant, is nicely done and people / pet friendly. Service was good, once you got their attention, which was on you, not them...we had the lobster, fairly priced at $39, but was like rubber and inedible. Sides were a throw away. Drinks were very good. Other points, nice mini bar in room, however NO coffee in room and coffee shop doesn't open until 7 AM. A regular room, facing back away from bay, dinner for 2, minor mini bar invasion (2 drinks) valet, was over $1100. Not worth the cost.

Today I attended a private brunch for work and I wanted to check two small bags at the front desk because I didn't want to take them into the brunch. I was told it would be five dollars for outside guests to check a bag. This is news to me. Never before have I been charged for this in the over 13 years that I've been going to this property. That isn't a luxurious experience nor is it up to standard, hotel guest or not. Service was polite outside of the charge. Food was average at best. A few hours later I attended another lunch at Bellini at the Mr. C hotel. I asked to check the same bags at their front desk. No charge. When I picked up my bags, they asked me how lunch was and if it was my first time at the property. Would I like some water to go (complimentary)? It was not my first time at Mr. C but this service is what I come to expect at a property of this nature. Not to be nickel and dimed for a basic service. This new experience paired with the fact that I was overcharged for drinks on my last visit to the standard (November) to which I called to rectify after realizing once I was home, I was told they would call me back and they never did. I'm soured on the whole property.

    Fontainebleau Miami isn't just a hotel -- it's a full‑scale Miami moment. The kind of place where…read moreyou walk into the lobby and instantly feel like you've stepped into a glossy magazine spread. High ceilings, marble everywhere, and a buzz that tells you you're in the right place. What impressed me most? There's genuinely plenty to do for all ages, which is not something you can say about every Miami resort. Whether you're traveling with kids, teens, adults, or a multigenerational crew, everyone finds their lane here. The pool scene is the heartbeat of the property. Multiple pools, each with its own personality -- family-friendly areas with space to splash, quieter corners for lounging, and the high-energy spots where the music and cocktails flow. Service was dialed in across the board: fast, friendly, and always one step ahead. Rooms were spotless and stylish, with balconies that make you want to order room service just to soak in the view a little longer. Housekeeping kept everything crisp, and every request was met with that effortless "of course" attitude. Dining is another standout. From quick bites to full-on fine dining, everything was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Even the grab-and-go spots felt elevated. And if nightlife is your thing, you don't need to leave the property -- the energy here after dark is pure Miami. But if you're traveling with kids or just want a low-key night, the resort still feels comfortable and accessible. Fontainebleau nails that rare balance of iconic luxury and all-ages fun. It's bold, glamorous, and buzzing in all the right ways, yet still manages to be welcoming and easy to enjoy no matter who you're traveling with. A true Miami classic that continues to deliver. Enjoy

    Haven't been to the Fontainebleau in quite some time and I'm honestly shocked at how far downhill…read moreit has gone. We didn't even stay at the hotel, we simply had a Mother's Day brunch reservation at Hakkasan and dessert at Chez Bon Bon. What should have been a nice family outing turned into an absolute nightmare. When we went to valet to retrieve our car, the lobby was filled with angry guests sitting around waiting HOURS for their vehicles. People were openly saying they had been waiting 1-3 HOURS and some had even missed flights because valet couldn't deliver their cars. Seeing at least 50 frustrated people stranded there was complete chaos. At that point I started panicking. I had my 3 children with me, my elderly parents, and all of my baby's formula and diapers locked inside the car with no idea when we would ever get it back. Completely unacceptable for a luxury hotel that charges premium prices. It was also $58 to valet! Thank God I drive a Tesla because I opened the live camera and location tracking and immediately saw my car had been sitting in the exact same spot where I dropped it off over 2.5 hours earlier. When we walked to the vehicle ourselves, we found the inside completely ransacked. Items from my center console were thrown everywhere and the driver and passenger seats were covered in sweat. Clearly multiple employees had been sitting inside our vehicle. When my husband confronted them, they claimed they had "misplaced the key card" and were searching for it. Then when asked why the inside of the car was trashed, they actually tried to say it was already like that. Absolutely insulting. This completely destroyed any trust I had in the Fontainebleau. I don't care if valet is a "separate department" it is still YOUR property, YOUR staff, and YOUR responsibility. Guests should not have to fear waiting 1-3 hours for their cars, missing flights, or having employees rummage through their personal belongings because the hotel can't manage basic operations. I understand it was Mother's Day and maybe they were understaffed, but the complete lack of communication, organization, accountability, or even basic customer service was disgraceful. Not once did anyone proactively update guests, apologize properly, offer compensation, or even waive valet charges. For a place that markets itself as luxury, this experience was beyond embarrassing.
