The Marlin Hotel Hotel

The hotel is steps away from Ocean Drive, the well known strip where all things happen. Great restaurants. Great entertainment. It is also a stone throw from the white sand beaches where fun in the sun can be had. Collins drive is the street that the hotel is on which is awesome for anyone that loves shopping (like I do) this is a shoppers dream. Some history about this hotel (taken from their website) The building was developed in 1939 by L. Murray Dixon, a principal architect who defined Decoration South Beach design. Nestled in the heart of the city's celebrated Art Decoration District, The Marlin Hotel remains a signature South Beach landmark. In the 1990's, the hotel was transposed into a tropical retreat for some of the world's most renowned recording artists and performers. Music legends like Jay-Z, Mariah Carey, Kanye West, Gwen Stefani and many more have made their way to The Marlin to stay, play and produce their music at property's in-house recording studio. Definitely highly recommended. I will definitely book here again should I have the opportunity to return.

The rooms are extremely spacious and immaculately clean with all you would need for a stay. Housekeeping were great in making sure we had everything we needed. A lovely bar and restaurant. Check in was seamless and a massive thank you to the guy that checked us in when we arrived. He stood out by far as an excellent member of staff who not only was friendly but offered suggestions of bars and restaurants to visit. Nothing was too much trouble and he should be highly commended for his customer care. By far the best customer service I have experienced to date. Thanks for a great stay we plan to visit again.

Like pretty much all hotels in South Beach, there is a restaurant in the front. The difference is that this restaurant is somewhere you can go for a romantic date. The smell as soon as you walk through the doors is amazing. The hallways were gorgeous and decorated with replica gold and platinum albums from different music artists. There was nothing to hate about the room except there was no iron. But I was able to get one for the duration of my stay from housekeeping. The shower was AMAZING! I didn't want to get out. So much room and who doesn't love a rainfall shower. The bed was really comfy. There was also a mini bar and a huge TV with just about every channel you can think of, even pay-per-view. The only con was that there wasn't a pool. But you can easily fix that by walking to another hotel. The Marlin is in walking distance from everything. The only time I had to get into a car was because of the rain. You will not regret staying here.
