Hotels With Pools in South Beach Miami for Beachfront Stays

‍

South Beach runs from 1st Street to 23rd Street along Miami Beach, with hotels concentrated on Ocean Drive and Collins Avenue. Ocean Drive properties sit directly across from the beach and Lummus Park, while Collins Avenue hotels range from beachfront to one or two blocks back. The area is known for Art Deco architecture from the 1930s and 1940s, with many historic buildings restored as boutique hotels. South of Fifth (SoFi)—the area below 5th Street—offers a quieter atmosphere while maintaining walkability to the main South Beach scene.

Most South Beach hotels with pools restrict access to registered guests through room key cards, though some properties sell day passes or host weekend pool events.
