The Bar/Lounge at The Betsy South Beach

"The Betsy boasts the South Florida installment of New York's BLT Steak restaurant by A-list chef Laurent Tourondel; a roof deck solarium with Zen garden for sunning, spa services, drinks, and light fare; a well-heeled lobby bar scene; and a private basement lounge that bills itself as the anti-celebrity bar, where guests enter by invitation only and reality stars are strictly prohibited as well they should be"

"The Betsy's demure facade makes it all the more fun to discover the B-Bar, an edgy nightclub in the hotel's basement with reflective ceilings and internationally acclaimed DJs on the turntables"

"Guests rave about the rooftop sundeck, scene-y lobby bar, and excellent BLT Steak restaurant"

"For guests who prefer a dip in the Atlantic, beach butlers are at the ready with lounge chairs, towels and umbrellas"

"Murray Dixon-designed landmark continues to distinguish itself with top-notch services and amenities, including an outpost of chef Laurent Tourondel's BLT Steak, a rooftop deck offering views of the Atlantic Ocean, a crafted cocktail lobby bar, and a tranquil outdoor spa and wellness garden"

"The rooftop deck, dotted with chaise loungers and bamboo fronds, offers stunning views of the cobalt ocean"

"Though the pool gets little sunshine because of its odd location in the hotel courtyard, the expansive rooftop sun lounge and sumptuous beach club across Ocean Drive make up for this shortcoming"

"If swimming’s not on your agenda but you still want to lounge in the sun, the Betsy’s rooftop lounge area, the Deck, is a great place to kick back"

"The rooftop spa, with its lovely little garden, four treatment rooms and lounge create another worthwhile getaway, and the views of the ocean are exceptional"

"The high-ceilinged, ground floor houses the open-plan reception, restaurant, and a lounge bar perfect for sofa-flopping and caipirinha-sipping"
