The hype
Guests love the massive rooms and perfect location but consistently complain about the tired decor and noise.
Sagamore South Beach
$150-430/ Nacht
Buchen Sie dieses Hotel, wenn You want direct beach access and spacious suites in the heart of South Beach without the velvet-rope pretension of the W or the 1 Hotel.
Warum Gäste es lieben
- All-suite layout means significantly more square footage than standard SoBe shoeboxes
- Legitimate art collection that rotates throughout the lobby and gardens
- Zero-entry pool that feels like a backyard oasis rather than a Vegas day club
Kurzfassung: A spacious, art-filled survivor of Old South Beach that's showing its age with scuffed furniture and construction noise next door.
Bewertet von @jeanpunz: I stayed in this duplex suite at the Sagamore and it was perfect for our family trip. The split-level layout gave us so much space, and having the bedroom upstairs felt like a true escape from the busy living area downstairs.
Was Gäste, die hier übernachtet haben, sagten
Reality check
You aren't paying for luxury finishes; you're paying for square footage and beach access. Don't expect the Ritz (even though it's next door).
- You need a separate living room for work or kids
- You appreciate art more than brand-new carpet
- You want to be walking distance to Lincoln Road but directly on the sand
Sauberkeit & Instandhaltung
7.8
- Housekeeping: Daily service is reliable, but they often miss dust on high shelves or under the sofa beds.
- Bathroom hygiene: Generally clean, but expect older grout and occasional slow drains. No black mold reports, but 'tired' is the word.
- Maintenance: The biggest weak point. Peeling paint, scuffed baseboards, and loose outlets are common complaints.
- Linens & towels: Standard hotel grade. Clean, but not plush. Towels can feel a bit thin.
- Odors & scents: Lobby smells like signature white tea scent; hallways can be musty/damp.

“I would appreciate a high-floor Oceanfront Suite away from the north side construction. If that is not available, a quiet Garden Bungalow would be preferred over a pool-facing unit.”
FAQ & Geheimtipps
Alles, was Sie vor der Buchung wirklich wissen möchten.
Is the pool heated?
Yes, the zero-entry pool is heated, making it swimmable year-round.
Can I walk to Ocean Drive?
Yes, it's a short 5-10 minute walk south to the Art Deco district and Ocean Drive madness.
Is breakfast included?
No, and it's pricey. You're better off walking to a local diner or bakery.
Do the rooms have balconies?
Most suites do, but some 'city view' rooms just have windows. Request a balcony specifically.
Is it kid-friendly?
Surprisingly yes, due to the large suites and separate living areas, but the pool scene is definitely adult-leaning on weekends.
How bad is the construction noise?
It's significant on weekdays starting at 8 AM. If you plan to sleep in, request a south-facing room.

5 Dinge, die Sie wissen sollten, bevor Sie losfahren
💡The elevators can be agonizingly slow during peak times.
💡The 'kitchenettes' in suites are often just a wet bar with a microwave—don't plan on cooking a feast.
💡Hallways can smell a bit musty due to the humidity and carpet age.
💡You might spot a photo shoot happening in the lobby (it's a popular backdrop).
💡The beach service stops promptly at 5 PM, so don't expect a sunset setup.
