The hype
Travelers are obsessed with the design overhaul and the friendly staff, calling it a massive upgrade from the old Shelborne.
The Shelborne By Proper
$250-450/ noć
Rezervirajte ovaj smeštaj ako You want the newest, sexiest design hotel in South Beach and don't mind being sandwiched between construction cranes for the sake of a seed-oil-free seafood tower.
Zašto Ljudima Sviđa
- The $100M renovation is stunning—Art Deco bones with a lush, modern 'Proper' skin
- Pauline's seed-oil-free menu and the Little Torch speakeasy are actual culinary draws, not just hotel filler
- The pool deck with its mint-green tiles and historic diving board is the ultimate Instagram trap
Brzi pregled: A gorgeous, newly polished gem that is currently enduring a noise siege from massive construction projects on both its north and south flanks.
Pregledano od @LanderSnchez9045793: I checked into The Shelborne and honestly, the vibe is unmatched. From the retro pool deck to the insanely comfy beds, it’s the perfect Miami escape. I loved being able to hit the gym and then immediately relax by the ocean. Highly recommend for a stylish recharge.

Pre nego što rezervirate
Korisno znati
- The 'seed-oil-free' cooking at Pauline is a legit health flex unique to this property.
- Beach chairs are included in the resort fee, but umbrellas often cost extra ($25+).
- The historic diving board at the pool is decorative only—don't try to jump off it.
Šta pakovati
- Noise-canceling headphones (non-negotiable for pool/balcony relaxation)
- Reef-safe sunscreen (Miami Beach bans certain chemicals)
- Dressy-casual outfits for Little Torch (no flip-flops at night)
Genie za sobe
Najbolji izbor
- Oceanfront King Balcony Suite (worth the splurge for the dual-aspect views)
- Townhouse Suites (multi-level, feels like a private apartment)
- High-floor City View (safest bet to minimize construction noise impact)
Sobe koje treba izbegavati
- North-facing rooms on lower floors (direct view/sound of Shore Club construction)
- South-facing rooms on lower floors (direct view/sound of Raleigh construction)
- Rooms directly above the pool bar if you sleep before 11pm
Genie za zahteve za sobe – kopiraj i lepak
“I am staying for a special occasion and am aware of the neighboring construction. Please assign a room on a high floor, as centrally located in the building as possible (away from the north/south edges), to minimize construction noise. An Oceanfront view is preferred if available.”
Česta pitanja i skriveni saveti
Sve što zaista trebate da znate pre nego što rezervirate.
Is the construction really that bad?
Yes. As of early 2026, you are between two major high-rise developments. Weekdays 8am-5pm are loud.
Is the pool heated?
Yes, the pool is heated year-round, which is crucial for those breezy winter mornings.
Can I bring my dog?
Yes, up to 2 dogs (max 45 lbs each) for a $100 non-refundable fee. They get treats and beds.
Is there a resort fee?
Yes, expect to pay around $75-$85 per night, covering beach chairs, wifi, and fitness classes.
What is the 'Little Torch'?
It's the hotel's speakeasy-style cocktail lounge. Pink grout, surrealist decor, and tableside martini service.
Is breakfast included?
Typically no. You can grab coffee/pastries at The Café or a sit-down meal at Pauline.
Insajderski saveti
- ✨
The 'Ube Latte' at The Café in the lobby is TikTok famous for a reason—get it iced.
- ✨
Little Torch has a 'clarified punch' menu that is smoother than any cocktail on Ocean Drive.
- ✨
Walk 2 blocks to the boardwalk for a run; the hotel gym is great, but the ocean breeze is better.
5 stvari koje trebate znati prije nego što krenete
💡The 'historic' diving board is strictly for looking, not diving.
💡The 'City View' rooms actually have a pretty cool skyline view at sunset, often quieter than oceanfront.
💡You can hear the bass from the pool underwater (sometimes).
💡The elevators can be slow during peak check-out times (11am).
💡The 'resort fee' includes bike rentals—use them to ride up the boardwalk to 40th St for quieter beaches.
