Quick Verdict: Novotel Miami Brickell vs The Betsy South Beach

When Novotel Miami Brickell wins: pick Novotel for families or groups who want a 24-hour fitness center, a large modern hotel with straightforward meeting and wedding spaces, a rooftop infinity pool and a rooftop bar with skyline and Biscayne Bay views, and easy access to Brickell’s shops and the free Metromover.

When The Betsy South Beach wins: pick The Betsy for a quieter, boutique beachfront experience on Ocean Drive, an intimate chef-driven restaurant (LT Steak and Seafood on the beachfront), an art-forward property with on-site programming, and direct access to Miami Beach and the Boardwalk.
