We spent 3 nights in Winterhaven and enjoyed it. Service was great and the room was a bit bigger than in your average ocean drive hotel. Although the room was a bit old, windows didn't really work or had any sound proofing, we still liked the atmosphere at the hotel. more

Art Deco hotel on Ocean Drive, right in front of the beach. Informal and convenient, with great staff. Breakfast is a bit basic, but we particularly enjoyed the free deck chairs that each guest can bring directly to the beach opposite the hotel more

We loved the Winterhaven! We are big Art Deco fans and this one is a great example, with most of the original features intact. In fact, our tour guide on the Art Deco Walking Tour (a must for Deco fans) described it as his favourite. One tip, don't always use the lift, walk down the stairs sometimes and enjoy the... more

I booked a room here for February 2010. I booked on their website and received confirmation from secure-res.com. They charged the first night as a deposit to my credit card. Due to a change in travel plans, I had to call back and cancel this reservation. I called the reservations line and waited on hold for over an hour. I... more

Traveling to Miami during the coldest January on record did put a bit of a damper on my stay at the Winterhaven. If the weather had been better, I would imagine that this hotel would be perfect, directly across the street from the beach, in the center of the Art Deco District and clean and friendly. The room was a... more

We stayed at this hotel for one night before boarding a cruise the next day. It is a really unique hotel that is in a great location in South Beach. Right across from the beach and within walking distance of everything in South Beach. It has breakfast in the morning that has a little bit for everyone's taste (you pay... more

Christmas shopping trip to Miami we stayed at an old fav of mine, The Winter Haven. There are many,many hotels along South Beach, some very expensive ones but I always have to come back here. The Winter Haven is your typical Art Deco hotel, built right on Ocean Drive and easy access to everywhere. The beach is just across the... more

Stayed here Dec. 21-24. Miami was pretty deserted at this time, so I'm glad we decided to stay on Ocean Drive. Collins and Washington looked like everything was closed or under renovations. Ocean Dr. still had all of it's sidewalk restaurants open and was more lively. Overall, the Winterhaven is an average hotel in a great location. It's near the... more

Stayed for one night, pre-cruise - very close to Port and taxi drivers very helpful. Hotel location is perfect, just at one end of the strip and a very pleasant stroll along all the pavement cafes and restaurants. This is smack bang in the middle of the Art Deco district and the architecture is fabulous. Beach is right opposite, fabulous... more
