The Savoy Hotel & Beach Club
A 1935 Art Deco hotel on the south end of Ocean Drive, with suites, a lobby of history murals and its own beach club.
Checked October 2026
Good for a South Beach stay with real Deco history and room to spread out, especially groups who want a two-bedroom suite. The trade-off: the hotel says little about its beach club beyond mood, so ask what's included.
Built in 1935
The building dates to 1935 and is on the historic register, which matters on a strip where plenty of Deco facades front brand-new interiors. The lobby is where the history shows: murals there walk through Miami's past, so give them a minute on your way in. At 425 Ocean Dr, you're between Fourth and Fifth streets, at the calmer southern end of the drive and a short walk from the sand. It holds a 4.7 from about 2,200 Google reviews, a strong number for this stretch.
Picking a room
Five room types are listed, and the balcony is the dividing line. The Queen Room and the One Bedroom Queen Suite are the simpler picks. The Junior King Suite adds a private balcony over the courtyard, the Grand One Bedroom King Suite gets a balcony with city views, and the Two Bedroom Queen Suite, also with a balcony, is the one for families or friends splitting a trip. None of the listings promise an ocean view from the room, so don't assume one. Rates aren't posted on the main page; check the booking screen.
The beach club
The Savoy runs its own Beach Club, which the hotel pitches as a throwback to old Miami rather than a party deck. That's about all the site says, so ask before you arrive what's covered: loungers, umbrellas, food service, hours. Google also lists the property as a restaurant and event venue, which makes it worth an inquiry for a small wedding or a group weekend. The front desk runs 24 hours, so a late check-in after a delayed flight isn't a problem.
Reservations
The two-bedroom suite is the hotel's pick for families and friend groups, so book it early for busy weekends.
Good to know
Only three of the five room types list a balcony, so pick the category carefully if you want outdoor space.
