The Local House Hotel Miami Beach Review

The Local House HOTEL Miami Beach Review

The Local House Hotel is perfect for any Miami getaway, regardless of how long you plan to visit. This South Beach (SoBe) quaint and charming hotel resides just a couple hundred feet away from Miami Beach and makes for an amazing tropical retreat.

This super laid-back, elegant and heavy beach-vibe hotel is perfect for small groups, girls trips or even a little staycation. It’s small enough for a more intimate experience, but offers an excellent atmosphere between the in-house restaurant, cozy rooms, private balconies and stunning rooftop views and pool. You really get the best of all worlds between the hotel accommodations, proximity to the beach and other hot-spots worth visiting. 

The Local House Hotel Miami Beach Review
JESSICA LITRAS

what to expect

location

Formal Address: 400 Ocean Dr, Miami Beach, FL 33139

Excellent location as it in the core of South Beach and within walking distance of all the restaurants, bars and beach (2 minutes). 

Hotel Details

” A cozy Miami Beach boutique hotel and restaurant located right across the beach.”

The 18 bright, airy rooms feature flat-screen TVs, minibars, designer toiletries and balconies with ocean views. One of the best parts includes their rooftop pool & lounge overlooking the beach and buildings of Miami. Their on-site restaurant located on the first floor is one of the most unique parts of the hotel as it offers both indoor & outdoor seating and is super popular for brunch dates and happy hour.

Price PER NIGHT

Average cost is $179 per night. Can also be booked on credit card points. 

Vibe Check

Moderate-luxury feel with a laid-back yet elegant beach-atmosphere. 

Comfort Level

On a scale of 1-5 (5 being the best), the comfort level is at a 3. The beds were spacious and comfortable with thick comforters which can make it a little hot for Miami, even with the air conditioning. Noises from outdoors and in the hotel are easily heard, but that greatly relies on the location. It’s a happening place!

Views to expect on Property

Most of the rooms are equipped with small private balconies that overlook the side-streets and or/ocean. The balconies are wide enough to allow 2-3 people and make for a great picture-taking spot. Some of the rooms come with partial ocean views, this is a great option to save money. The rooftop & pool offers one of the best views as you can see the skyline, ocean and the beautiful architecture that makes Miami what it is. Highly recommend spending time here to take in some of the best views.

Best Instagram Spots

The Local House bar top, aesthetic brunch food & drinks, the bushes and flowers to the left of the hotel if you are facing The Local House directly, the in-room private balcony & the rooftop.  

Accommodations & aMENITIES

Includes deluxe king beds with ocean & city views, 32″ LCD TV, fast & free Wi-Fi, an in-room mini bar, hair dryer, iron, travel essentials, Keurig coffee, bath robes, room service, beach supplies, a rooftop swimming pool, private balconies & yoga classes close-by.

special oFFERS

Special offers include free breakfast if you book directly through the website, 10% off when you reserve a non-refundable rate, a returning-guest special discount, a 25% discount when you book 2 nights, and the 4th night free when you book 3 nights.

Local Culture

An extremely laid-back, yet elegant, vibrant and lively culture with so many things to do both day and night. Flagship restaurants, exclusive night clubs, and Art Deco Architecture are the pieces that make South Beach one of the most famous beaches to visit in the United States. 

Best Season to visit

The best time to visit South Beach Miami is between March and May when temperatures are high 70s and low 80s. It is also considered “peak-time” for the area due to it’s ideal vacation weather climates. 

Things to do in the area

There’s endless things to do and see in South Beach Miami. The great thing about South Beach is that most attractions are within walking distance or at least a short Uber ride away.  

Here are a few suggestions for when you visit:

  • Have brunch or a seafood lunch at The Local House
  • Spend the day at the beach
  • Walk along the beautifully paved Miami boardwalk 
  • Observe the Art Deco Historic District 
  • Explore the historic architecture elements on Lincoln Road
  • Browse the buildings and outdoor restaurants on Ocean Drive
  • Have a meal on Espanola Way
  • Stop by Malibu Farm for amazing ocean views and delicious cocktails 
  • Grab a healthy & hearty lunch at Pura Vida 
  • Check out Moxy Rooftop for sunset views and cocktails

Welcome to @granitelinks & @crossing_nines ⛳️🏌️‍♀️  This place has been on my list forever, and it did not disappoint. The range was packed (first come, first serve!) but we hung out, ordered some cocktails and enjoyed the lively atmosphere.  Crossing Nines is such a fun restaurant with an expansive menu. We ordered some apps & lobster rolls  while taking in the views of the golf course and the Boston skyline. It was truly the perfect Sunday afternoon.  ✔️Save this for your adventures in Mass and send to someone you want to go with!  #quincyma #massachusettsoutdoors

Don’t sleep on the lobster rolls from Beach House Grill at @chathambarsinn 🦞👀  Hands down my favorite lobster roll I’ve had not just on the Cape, but all time. A New England summer isn’t complete without them! Paired with crispy French fries and a salted watermelon margarita, you truly cannot go wrong.  Not only is the food great, but the location and atmosphere is the epitome of summer on Cape Cod with quick access to the beach. It’s an absolute must-visit.  ✔️ Save this for your adventures on Cape Cod this summer!  #capecod #capecodma #capecodsummer #capecodlife #capecodinstagram #capecodvacation #capecodliving #lobsterroll
