Resort fee (typical of the area)
Casa Boutique Hotel is an affordable three-pearl option with a convenient and lively location in the heart of South Beach. There are few on-site features, but the hotel's resort fee does cover some rarities like a continental breakfast buffet and airport shuttle service. The 32 contemporary rooms feature natural elements and bath products, and guests can expect a squeaky-clean space with simple, neutral-tone decor. Although this small hotel is only two blocks from the beach, guests will have to walk 15 minutes in order to take advantage of the free beach chairs and umbrellas at the partner club. Some downsides include small rooms, no pool, and no gym. Travelers looking for more amenities, such as a pool or restaurant, may find the upscale Gale South Beach to be a better option, though breakfast isn't free.

Scene
Contemporary hotel in a historic building; popular with couples and friends
Casa Boutique Hotel was built in 2017 within the historic facade of the former Waldorf building. The hotel’s Spanish architecture -- with white walls and molding and orange roof tiles -- gives a nod to the Miami Beach of the 1950s. The interior of the hotel has a simple, contemporary style featuring tile floors, wood veneered furniture and walls, and lots of natural light. Patterned rugs, a large black-and-white photo, and a wall full of framed brunch-themed sayings add some personality, though the largely neutral-tone design and clean look can feel a bit underwhelming. Nevertheless, its excellent location in South Beach and included perks like continental breakfast and airport transportation make it a popular choice among couples and groups of friends.
Location
In the heart of South Beach, walking distance to the beach
Casa Boutique Hotel is located in the heart of South Beach off Washington Avenue. It’s a two-block walk to the action on Ocean Drive, which provides beach access through Lummus Park and has historic Art-Deco buildings lining the street. Espanola Way, a popular historic street with European flair, is just a five-minute walk from the hotel. This is a busy area in the thick of South Beach that is close to everything, so it can be noisy at night. Miami Airport is a 25-minute drive away, and Downtown Miami can be reached in 15 minutes by car. The hotel offers free airport transportation.
Rooms
Clean, contemporary rooms with a focus on natural materials
Casa Boutique has 32 rooms with contemporary decor in neutral tones, creating a clean albeit underwhelming look. Also note that rooms are on the small side. Details like hemp mattresses, organic sheets, and natural bath products emphasize natural elements. Guests can opt for either a Deluxe King or Deluxe Double, which has two queen-size beds and is a squeeze. Thirty-two-inch flat-screen TVs with cable channels, mini-fridges, rainfall showers, and ironing facilities are in every room, as are wardrobes and electronic safes. Additional features include in-mirror LED lighting and a triple-filtered water supply. Some guests have reported thin walls, and street noise is almost a given.
Features
Resort fee that covers breakfast, beach gear, and airport transportation, but no pool
Guests are required to pay a resort fee (typical for Miami), despite the fact that there are no resort features on-site -- the hotel lacks a pool and gym. However, this daily fee covers rarities like the continental breakfast buffet and roundtrip airport transportation. The hotel’s airport shuttle runs five times daily and must be reserved at least 24 hours in advance. The resort fee also covers Wi-Fi and beach towels, plus chairs and umbrellas at a beach club a 15-minute walk away. There is no hotel parking, and prices for the hotel’s valet service are high.
