Wow, we were so pleasantly surprised by this place! It is beautiful from the outside - feels like you have been transported to Europe. We didn't get a chance to try it but the restaurant looks wonderful and gives such a warm, welcoming ambiance to the hotel, candlelit and romantic. There is still an old elevator in the historic building - which works perfectly well and efficiently - adding even more charm. The staff are genuine and so welcoming, Belinda in particular was fantastic and provided a personalised service. Our room was enormous by hotel standards, and felt more like our home than a hotel room, a unique layout, with great big windows and an incredibly comfortable bed - best night's sleep we've had in a while. Also parking was a breeze, which can be difficult in Miami - only $15 overnight in the secure lot across the street, and there is plenty to do within walking distance of the hotel. We searched all over Miami for a nice, convenient base to explore the city but wanted something with more charm than a generic chain and more reasonable than an overpriced resort (every other place of similar quality was charging more than double this rate), and in the end we chose to stay in Coral Gables simply because of this hotel. It's hard to find places like this anymore - all at once unique, historic, charming AND very clean, comfortable, modern AND absolutely incredible value.

The room was so lovely, well styled and modern beautiful bathroom. The building character is stunning including the old style lift The staff were lovely and we had the best stay The room was well cleaned The location was great, we lovely food stops around. It was easy to get to and from by taxi and a good distance to all parts of miami including mimai beach (30ish min), dolphin mall (30ish mins), the everglades (45 mins) and airport (15mins)

Under the bed could have been cleaned better but that's a small thing and only noticed when checking we left nothing behind

location and that it’s boutique

the poor information and service that we where given by 1 of the persons in reception. every time we asked something neither she knew that to say or had the intention or service attitude. for example we asked about the breakfast at the restaurant that it’s in the same building, her answered was “we are two completely different companies I have no idea”. As someone is in reception I would have expected for her to not know the answered but have the intention on helping us and that was not the vibe we got.

It was like a time WELL MAINTAINED AND UPDATED time capsule. A MANUAL elevator, actual keys, and windows that open!?!? It was really nice. The location is perfect to walk, scoot, run, eat, entertain. Close the public transportation. The restaurant downstairs is very luxurious. The building reminds me of a model scale of the Flat Iron building in NYC. Very comfortable bed and the room was spacious

The water pressure of the sink (the shower was fine) was almost non existent and the toilet sounded like it was running. Parking at $24 a night with in and out was quit convenient. But luckily I drive a MINI cooper becuase the parking lot and spaces are pretty tight

Loved the old manually controlled elevator attended by staff; the old historical photos lining the hallways. Liked the complimentary coffee and tea; the walkability to restaurants; the safety of the area; the reasonably priced parking next door.

Did not like the scent of the bathroom amenities (a mix of rose and baby powder). Would have appreciated a refrigerator and complimentary breakfast, and if not, some small selection of snacks. This hotel has the perfect ambience to offer guests a complimentary evening glass of wine with cheese, crackers, and grapes to connect with guests. It was so cosy, but the staff felt disconnected.

Beds were great. Shower was hot. Charming place. We had to pay for parking, but it was close by. Close to a lot a restaurants and near the Miracle Mile in Coral Gables. Tea and coffee all day in the entry.

There was no breakfast offered. I would have liked a coffee pot in the room. Another shelf in the bathroom would have been nice for personal toiletries. It was a little hard to find.

I loved everything.

It would be great to have the option of room service, but I made do with Uber Eats and the staff was great about bringing food and ice to me.

It was a cute hotel. Room was comfortable. Great location fir college drop off. The restaurant Zucca is wonderful, bar is amazing and the staff was great.

No pool

Lovely and historic-feeling hotel in a nice upscale area! Tons of restaurants around, especially on Giralda ave. The building is beautiful from outside and inside - the ivy is remarkable. Roughly a 10-min drive from Miami International. Room is excellent value for the price. Special thanks to Carmen at the front desk for her help and recommendations!

The walls are definitely on the thinner side, so every now and then I got paranoid that somebody was trying my room although the sound was from elsewhere in the hallway.

I have been staying at HSM for decades and return mainly due to location and staff. The on-site restaurant Zucca is among the best I've had - delicious Italian food, wines and service.

The rooms are big enough and clean, but they are not luxury rooms (some don't even have closets, but a hanging armoire or hanging racks, instead) - they are standard rooms with comfortable beds and great pillows. Bathrooms are small and outdated. During our stay, a water pipe burst and flowed down to the independent restaurant attached to the hotel. It was serviced quickly but not before many of the rooms experienced a back flow of toilets. Happens in older buildings.
