The Betsy, located on South Beach’s iconic Ocean Drive, is considered one of the country's premier independent boutique hotels. Family owned and operated, it is steps from the beach and in the heart of the most exciting neighborhood in America. Its ownership family works actively with all the members of the extended Betsy team to curate every aspect of the hotel and guest experience, and The Betsy’s CEOs (Canine Executive Officers), golden retrievers Betsy and Rosa, welcome every guest.

Beyond its 130 elegant guest rooms and suites, the property boasts multiple restaurants by acclaimed Chef Laurent Tourondel as well as a spectacular array of common spaces: the Piano Bar with exceptional live jazz nine times a week, roof decks and terraces with panoramic ocean and skyline views (including a rooftop pool and bar suspended in mid-air), a coffee bar and gallery space home to just some of the hotel’s permanent and rotating art exhibitions, a library open 24/7, and a beach-facing front terrace with the best outdoor dining setup in greater Miami.

The Betsy’s Writers’ Room, just one example of the ownership family's commitment to the arts, has hosted over 1,000 writers-in-residence. Above all, The Betsy is a haven for discerning travelers seeking luxury of experience and transcendent service.

We’re looking for the best and brightest in every field related to who we are and what we do. If you have a passion for any element of The Betsy’s DNA — whether commitment to excellent service, great food, creative arts, music, or simply an appreciation of The Betsy’s unique brand of understated, experiential luxury hospitality — we want to hear from you.
