The Park Central Hotel  

Understatament, déco design restored in an unassuming way. Casual chic. Absolutely extra-comfortable beds, great terry-cloth robes, towels clean and abundant, toiletry soaps and shampoos just as you might expect from a +$150 per night hotel. Nice prints of the Twenties and Thirties in the corridors and in the rooms.

The only elevator is always busy with room service people; anonymous if not irritating, the quite disinterested attitude of the management. Concierge does not offer maps or the usual "Welcome to Miami" booklet, showing what is going on in town, or other local publications (folks, make a tour to the the nearby Pelican welcome desk and see how an hotel can assist his clients!). This results in a complete lack of infos about events (Bookfair, Nascar, upcoming art events preparing for the Basel- Miami art market...). Regarding the building and the rooms, the hotel gives you the feeling of a well preserved beginning of the century atmosphere, but lacks in elegance and details. The bathrooms are very small and old, even if you feel more the desire to maintain the original flavor of the past than the neglect of a failure to restructure.

The location.

The bed and pillows were very unfomfortable. The room was very dark.

We really liked the location of the hotel, we were across the road from the beach and a short walk up Ocean Drive to all the bars and shops. The hotel is also right near some nice bars and restaurants. The Park Central cafe closed at about 12.30 which was good as meant you could have a quiet night if you wanted to! The rooms are very spacious and has a nice bathroom, in the art deco style of the hotel.

The restaurant in the hotel is quite expensive, we didnt eat there but did look very nice as you passed it to get to the rooms. There were plenty of other options just outside, including the Park Central cafe which did a nice breakfast.

Concierge and other staff were readily available, friendly and helpful. Our room was clean and nicely appointed. We enjoyed the view from our room and the rooftop deck and pool, and also the black-and-white photos throughout the hotel.

Locationa and Staff

The hotel was in a convenient location by the beach. Loved the evening musc, and the staff was great.

My door opened towards the outside. I didn't really like that.

Staff was friendly! Great location! Very quiet! Enjoyable! I will definitely stay here again

central location

taking the small elevator

The location of the hotel is excellent, in the center of the art deco district of Miami Beach.

The personel could have been more helpful. In spite of the reasonable high price of the hotel room the breakfast was not included in the price.

Nearness to the beach and the Arc Deco hotels. Lots of restaurants within a few hundred yards.

The smallish room looked onto a service courtyard with the opposite wall a few yards away. This made the room very warm.

Location

Corridors a bit tired.
