Ocean View Three Bedroom Suite with / /

This suite is categorized as an Ocean View suite, and the residential-style rooms have floor-to-ceiling windows to take in the outlook. The Elser is a 49-story tower at 398 NE 5th Street in Downtown Miami, so the suite sits in the city rather than on the sand. The hotel's own rooftop pool deck sits 123 feet above Biscayne Bay.

The suite has three bedrooms and sleeps up to eight guests with 1 King Bed, 2 Queen Beds and 1 Double Sofa Bed. The bedrooms have Tempur-Pedic mattresses, hypo-allergenic bedding and blackout drapes. That suits two or three couples, or a family or group sharing.

There are three private bathrooms, so each bedroom has its own. Each has a rainfall showerhead and is stocked with shampoo, soap, a toothbrush and toothpaste, a hair dryer and slippers. Towels and bed sheets are changed every 3 days, and turndown service is provided.

Yes. At 1202 sq. ft., the suite is built like a residence, with a full kitchen (cookware, dishware and utensils, a dishwasher, a coffee/tea maker and an espresso maker) and a dining area with a table. An in-suite washer and dryer makes it practical for longer stays, and complimentary bottled water is provided.

It is well suited to families. Children of all ages are welcome, though guests aged 16 and over are charged as adults. A free crib is available on request, and the rooftop pool has a gradient-entry shallow end that the hotel describes as perfect for families. The guest who registers must be at least 21, and guests under 18 may only check in with a parent or legal guardian.

A daily amenity fee of $59 per night before taxes covers the rooftop pool and 16-person swim-spa hot tub, the two-story fitness complex, daily yoga and fitness classes and in-room Wi-Fi. It also covers local and 1-800 calls and complimentary access to a partner beach club south of 5th Street on Miami Beach, with lounge chairs, towels and an umbrella.

The hotel is in Downtown Miami, about 5 miles and a 15–20 minute drive from South Beach. Guests can use the partner beach club, which is a good base for a beach day. Metromover is free and has stops within about 300 meters of the hotel. It connects to Bayside Marketplace, Kaseya Center and Museum Park, and Bayfront Park is across the street.

ViceVersa is in the lobby. It is a Michelin-recognized Italian aperitivo bar and restaurant serving small plates, wood-fired neo-Neapolitan pizzas and cocktails, open daily from 5 PM to midnight. Reservations are recommended. The rooftop Bayview bar and kitchen on the pool deck serves breakfast, lunch and dinner and is exclusive to hotel guests and residents. The Lobby Market is a grab-and-go shop for snacks, coffee and essentials.

Check-in begins at 4:00 PM and check-out is at 11:00 AM. The booking credit card and a matching photo ID must be presented at check-in. A $200 daily incidental hold applies (capped at $1,000), or $250 a day for debit cards. Self-parking and valet are charged by tiered rates, and there is an EV charging station. Pets are welcome with a $125 non-refundable deposit, but they are not allowed on the Amenity Deck.
