The Tony Hotel South Beach

I had a great experience at The Tony Hotel South Beach — the location is perfect, the rooms are clean and comfortable. Huge shoutout to Jamie at the concierge desk for going above and beyond during my stay. He was incredibly helpful in setting up an Everglades alligator tour and gave great recommendations around the area. Thanks to him, everything went smoothly and made the trip even better. Highly recommend!

Incredible! Great hotel - great staff. Dominick, Jesus the bartender & masma at front desk make this place run perfectly. Hotel location, pool, rooms, patios, bar, proximity to Beach, shops, restaurants - all A plus! Hotel is clean spacious attractive awesome!!

Couldn’t be happier with our stay at the Tony! Jamie and carline made us feel so at home and helped us navigate our entire trip. South beach would have sucked without them! Will 1000% come back because of them!

The Tony is another lovely art deco period property in South Beach. Facing both Collins and Ocean Drive from the two buildings it occupies Both seemed well maintained throughout all the parts we used. With the bar and restaurant betwixt as well as the veranda and outdoor seating area. We stayed in the Ocean Drive part of the hotel with a door between the parts of the News Cafe. It was a nice area and although only the other end of the block I liked being able to walk straight out to Ocean drive and over to the beach, however it must add all of 60-120 second coming from the Collins end. We had a king Delux which was spacious with a bar area, a large room with desk and a set of drawers, wardrobes (with robes and umbrella etc) and a very large sofa bench type affair. We could see over to the ocean from the window despite being on the side which was nice to weather and sunrise check(as literally a couple of minutes over to the beach and watch the sun come up) Good attention to detail with the retro vibe and matching fabrics and the like throughout in vibrant orange. Little touches like lights in the wardrobe also and mosaic brass handles. Certainly wasn’t as issue to unpack with room to spare and to get the case out the way. The long bench built into the bed frame was a nice design touch also and a handy perch putting your shoes on, although having caught it with my calf when passing (cutting my leg to the point I had a one and half inch bleeding tear) I wish it had either corner bumpers, a taper or rounded edges. One to watch if you have children with you. Good blinds for day and night with blackout Roman and a sun filter and/or privacy blind for the day, and opening widows which are increasingly hard to find these days of air conditioned hermetically sealed boxes. Very welcome. Large bathroom with a massive shower with rainfall and seating. Very pleasant room overall - though the vintage vibe not might suit all, in which case the Collins rooms looked to be an entirely different affair to suit those. We liked the ocean drive side just fine though. Had a few issues with amenities not working, the team were super responsive sorting these which was great and five coffee machines later we had one that worked, the iron only took one attempt :) Housekeeping was friendly and timely and kept the room looking lovely and fresh. This is one area that could do with a little attention however (especially as the omitted consumables in room were all we used of the ‘resort fee’ forgoing beach chairs etc) - a check sheet or similar would perhaps be helpful as the replacement of consumables was highly variable e.g. no shower gel x3 days then some supplied, regular coffee and decaf some days, no decaf on others, sometimes enough cups left, sometimes not, maybe enough whitener to match the number of coffee, normally 2/3:4 ratio… etc. There wasn’t one day anything was replenished consistently. Likewise not sure but the two bottled water in room on arrival seemed to be it, no more appeared that was for sure. So not the best value from resort fee offerings truth be told…. …however atypically staying at the hotel also qualifies you for free entry to Wynwood Walls and discount in the shop, suffice to say a couple of hundred dollars was spent there I am sure that had we popped along the street to reception (as phone didn’t work), as with the other issues, it would have been promptly remedied. Although being on holiday I really can’t be bothered to constantly chase up on basics. So that slight wrinkle / area for improvement aside overall this was a lovely place to stay for a week and we enjoyed our stay in the round. We didn’t try the restaurant or the news cafe unusually (although you did get discount as a hotel guest)as we tended to stroll out down the road, as there is such a wide variety of places to eat in this particular part of south beach. We did try a drink at the bar and well made cocktail which was nice enough - though being on the side between the two buildings, and lacking very much ambience (and with music on at a couple of notches over the pleasant line) it sadly didn’t endear itself - contrasted to last year where we sat out on another hotels verandah which faced ocean drive for drinks and sometimes food each day. Also the bar area seats weren’t particularly comfortable or in with the aesthetic of the other part of the verandah, would have been nice to see the white and tropical theme continued throughout to give it a bit more of a ‘feel’ Again this is something of a matter of taste and being tucked away from the sun along the side for a few hours might suit some just perfectly. It’s a shame there wasn’t a lounge area for guests staying at the ocean drive side along the corner where the news cafe spans the front of this part of the hotel. Overall definitely somewhere to consider if you are staying in south beach - especially if you don’t want somewhere with an anodyne interior refit such you could be in a bland mainstream hotel chain anywhere. We would definitely stay there again (Ocean Drive side) simply for the clean spacious retro rooms and lovely location (though i will pack shin guards in case the bench goes for me again).
