Staying long-term: kitchens, laundry and apartment-style suites at The Elser
The Elser Hotel Miami is built for longer stays: every suite includes a full kitchen and an in‑suite washer/dryer, plus residential-style layouts like Bay View One Bedroom Suite and Bay View Studio that sleep multiple guests. On-site amenities that matter for extended stays include a two-story fitness complex, rooftop pool and swim-spa, partner beach club access via the amenity fee, and 24-hour in-room/property Wi‑Fi.

What to expect from a long-term stay
The Elser Hotel Miami advertises residential-style suites across a 49-story tower with full kitchens, in-suite washers and dryers, floor-to-ceiling windows, and many private balconies. Units are designed to support multi-night or multi-week visits rather than one- or two-night hotel stays.
The property pairs suite comforts with hotel services — daily amenity access, on-site restaurants, and front-desk support — so you can cook, do laundry, and still use fitness, pool, and concierge services during an extended stay.
- Full kitchens in every suite: fridge, oven, stovetop/microwave
- In-suite washer and dryer included in all suites
- Complimentary in-room and property-wide Wi‑Fi (included through the amenity fee)
- Many suites have private balconies and floor-to-ceiling windows
Kitchens and in-suite laundry — what’s actually in the rooms
According to the hotel’s room descriptions, each suite has a full kitchen with a refrigerator, oven, stovetop/microwave and standard fixtures suitable for cooking most meals. This lets you plan groceries and meals rather than eating out every day.
Every suite also includes an in-suite washer and dryer, which removes the need to find laundromats for longer visits and makes packing lighter.
- Full kitchen: fridge, oven, stovetop/microwave (appliance mix may vary by suite)
- In-suite washer and dryer included in all room types
- Lobby Market (grab-and-go) available for snacks, coffee, and essentials
Which suites work best for extended stays
The Elser lists multiple multi-bedroom and one‑bedroom layouts that suit longer visits by couples, families, or small groups. Choose a suite based on the number of sleepers and whether you want bay, ocean, or city views.
Room inventory includes studios, one‑bedroom suites, two‑ and three‑bedroom suites. Many suites are explicitly described with bed configurations and square footage on the hotel site, useful when planning space for work, living, and storage.
- Studio and Bay View Studio options for solo travelers or couples needing a kitchenette plus sofa bed
- Bay View One Bedroom Suite and Ocean View One Bedroom Suite for added living/dining separation
- Two‑ and Three‑Bedroom suites for families or groups who need separate bedrooms and larger living areas
| Suite type | Notable capacity (as published) |
|---|---|
| Bay View One Bedroom Suite | 4 Guests (1 King Bed and 1 Double Sofa Bed) |
| Bay View Studio | 3 Guests (1 King Bed and 1 Double Sofa Bed) |
| Bay View Two Bedroom Suite with / | 6 Guests (1 King Bed, 1 Queen Bed and 1 Double Sofa Bed) |
Amenities that help with long stays
A mandatory daily amenity fee covers access to the rooftop pool and 16-person swim-spa hot tub, the two-story fitness complex with daily yoga/fitness classes, partner beach club access on Miami Beach (chairs, towels, umbrella), and in-room Wi‑Fi. If you plan recurring fitness or beach days, that fee consolidates those costs into your stay.
The property also offers on-site dining (ViceVersa in the lobby and the Bayview Terrace rooftop) and a Lobby Market for quick groceries and staples, which can be handy between supermarket trips.
- Rooftop pool deck with 132-foot wraparound pool and poolside bar
- Two-story, roughly 10,000 sq ft fitness complex with classes included via the amenity fee
- Complimentary partner beach club access on Miami Beach (included through the amenity fee)
- Lobby Market for snacks, coffee, and grab-and-go items

For groceries and quick items, the Lobby Market (The Pantry) provides basics. For full grocery runs, downtown supermarkets and delivery services are available nearby; the hotel location puts you within easy access to downtown shopping and markets.
- ViceVersa: Italian aperitivo bar and wood-fired pizza (open evenings; kitchen hours vary)
