Chesterfield Hotel, Suites and Day Spa

Description:

• A great hotel with little attitude, the Chesterfield is like a reasonably priced, high-fashion garment hidden on a rack full of overpriced threads. This charismatic sliver of a property has won the loyalty of fashion industrialists and romantics alike. The very central location (1 block from the ocean) is a plus, especially since the hotel lacks a pool. Most of the rooms are immaculate and reminiscent of a loft apartment; large bathrooms with big, deep tubs are especially enticing. However, some rooms are dark and have not had such upgrades (we have gotten complaints), and are to be avoided; do not hesitate to ask for a room change. We've also gotten complaints about the music coming from the hotel next door, but you have to realize that if you're staying on Collins or Washington avenues, you're going to hear noise: South Beach isn't known for its quiet, peaceful demeanor, but for R&R, try the hotel's new day spa!
