We only stayed for one night before driving down to the keys for my birthday but we really enjoyed our stay at The Local House. All of the staff were incredibly kind and they even blew up balloons and decorated our room for my birthday. Considering how busy the area was, the rooms were incredibly quiet and the bed was super comfortable. The only complaint we would have is that the bathrooms are slightly outdated in comparison to the bedrooms but other than that, we really enjoyed our stay and would recommend The Local House to anyone looking to stay in South Beach.

Very nice location. Hotel is rigid with check-in and didn’t stick to their own timeline. Couldn’t check in even a second early unless requested in advance (and approved). They made up for their delay nicely, but the rigidity around the check-in is noteworthy for those visiting from out of town with kids or baggage or both. Despite being late to have our room ready, our room was not in optimal shape. The bathroom could have used more TLC and there was trash in the closet still. The pool area was nice, although not in tip-top shape. Restaurant/Bar staff was nice and friendly, but not particularly attentive. The room overall was very nice, shower was good, bed was in good shape. Plenty of towels, nice balcony, and comfy pillows. Staff were amicable.

Nice little hotel close to the beach and restaurants, the only issue the pool is 2-3 feet deep

close to the port.

Our favorites were the beach access , roof top pool, and the smell as you enter the lobby! We need to know how to get that scent! The location was also very quiet and walkable to several nearby restaurants. We were sad to leave.

Amazing little hotel. Staff went above and beyond and were super organised. Lovely restaurant, beautiful room and ideal location for Miami Beach

Great place - close to the action without being right in the craziness of south beach. We liked taking walks down to the southern tip of Miami Beach near Smith & Wollensky’s - it’s a lot quieter there. We enjoyed brunch at the Local House two days in a row; our room was clean and spacious; and the rooftop pool was a nice getaway. I would stay here again.

Great location, walkable to beach and lots of restaurants. Friendly staff.

All of the staff was amazing! Very professional and knowledgeable. The housekeepers were right on target! Anything we needed they made sure we received it in a timely manner. I will definitely utilize this hotel again. Awesome hotel to stay at! Best, Pamela E.

Staying at The Local House Hotel felt like discovering one of Miami Beach’s best‑kept secrets. This boutique gem blends coastal charm with modern elegance, creating an atmosphere that’s both effortlessly stylish and wonderfully relaxing. From the moment I arrived, the staff made me feel genuinely welcomed—warm smiles, personalized touches, and a level of attentiveness that never felt forced. The rooms are bright, airy, and beautifully designed, with a calming beach‑house vibe that instantly puts you in vacation mode. Thoughtful details—plush bedding, spacious layouts, and serene color palettes—make it easy to unwind after a day in the sun. Many big hotels in Miami feel busy and loud, but The Local House offers something rare: peace. The rooftop pool is a standout. It’s intimate, quiet, and offers a perfect escape from the bustle of South Beach. Whether you’re lounging with a book or enjoying the skyline views, it feels like your own private oasis. And the restaurant—wow. The food is fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Breakfast here is a must; the kind of meal that sets the tone for a perfect day. The cocktails are equally impressive, crafted with care and ideal for sipping on the terrace. Best of all, the location couldn’t be better. Steps from the beach, close to great dining and nightlife, yet tucked away enough to feel secluded. It’s the perfect balance.
