Hyatt Centric South Beach Miami

If you're looking for a laid-back hotel and don't mind walking to the beach, you should consider staying at the Hyatt Centric South Beach Miami. One of the first locations to debut under Hyatt's new lifestyle Hyatt Centric brand, the property feels more like a boutique outpost than a chain, past guests said. Situated on Collins Avenue, the hotel is within a block of Ocean Drive and just a block west of South Beach's famous sand. Aside from the prime location, this Hyatt Centric outpost received praise from former lodgers for its rooms. Though reviewers did note that the rooms are on the small side, they compliment the modern amenities, which include 47-inch flat-screen TVs, comfy Hyatt Grand Beds, floor-to-ceiling windows and complimentary Wi-Fi access. Visitors also appreciated the free beach amenities (covered by the daily resort fee), which include use of two chaise lounge beach chairs, towels and the hotel's bicycles. If you need a break from the sand, you can also lounge by the rooftop pool. And though the hotel's central location makes it easy to enjoy the South Beach dining scene, lodgers recommend sampling a meal or two at the on-site DECK Sixteen restaurant, which serves up a menu of Spanish-Mediterranean dishes. Or, cut costs by taking advantage of the daily happy hour specials at the bar. Another way to make a stay here more affordable? By cashing in Hyatt rewards program points.
