Book here.
Pros:

Room was lovely, the artwork was beautiful, posed Barbies...that were doing activities, very original. We ate in the restaurant and the food and service were excellent. The valet parked my truck and had it ready when we left, the overall experience 5 star. I'm glad I booked there.

Just as Described: Lovely
Pros:

Exactly as presented. At the end of the “hotel strip”, it is quiet and has a slower feel. Clean, comfortable with a welcoming staff. (Abner on evenings).Tastefully decorated, the bathroom could use some safety updates in the glass shower with the very slick floor. Room 17 has small balcony with palms on the street and a view if one looks for it. We were very pleased.

Highly enjoyable
Pros:

The Local House, located at 400 Ocean Drive in Miami Beach’s South of Fifth district, offers an excellent boutique stay. Its prime position is steps from the beach and Lummus Park, with easy access to Ocean Drive’s vibrant scene.
The rooms are spacious, spotlessly clean, and well-equipped with strong air conditioning, comfortable bedding, and attractive bathrooms. Many feature private balconies overlooking Ocean Drive and partial ocean views. The rooftop pool and bar provide a serene, stylish retreat with impressive city skyline vistas, complemented by a superb restaurant serving fresh, eclectic cuisine.

The staff are notably friendly and welcoming, contributing to a smooth and enjoyable experience.

Overall, The Local House delivers outstanding comfort, cleanliness, and location, making it a highly recommended choice for Miami Beach.

Cons:

One minor drawback is the bathroom privacy glass, which transmits significant light into the sleeping area—especially on its automatic timer during nighttime use—potentially disturbing light sleepers.

Super schönes Hotel in top Lage!
Pros:

Habe mich sehr wohl gefühlt, das Personal ist außerordentlich freundlich und kompetent. Die Lage des Hotels ist absolut top, hatte seitlichen Meerblick, was wunderschön war.

Cons:

Mir persönlich waren die Steckdosen zu wenig. Die im Bad funktionierten nicht und es gab neben dem Bett keine bzw. man hätte wohl die Nachttischlampen ausstecken müssen. Aber ansonsten war alles super!
