See all photos →

Location: Downtown convenience vs South Beach beachfront

The Elser Hotel Miami – Location

The Elser sits in Downtown Miami directly across Bayfront Park and a short walk to Bayside Marketplace and Kaseya Center.

  • Steps from Bayfront Park, Bayside Marketplace and several Metromover stations (about 300 m to nearby stations).
  • Easy walking access to live events at Kaseya Center and museums in Museum Park.
  • About a 15–20 minute drive to South Beach; partner beach club access is provided instead of onsite beachfront.

Pick The Elser if you want Downtown walkability and easy transit connections; it’s not on the beach but includes partner beach club access.

Delano Miami Beach – Location

Delano Miami Beach sits on Collins Avenue in South Beach with immediate access to the sand and to Lincoln Road shopping and dining.

  • Located at 1685 Collins Ave, within walking distance of Lincoln Road Mall and the Miami Beach Boardwalk.
  • Direct proximity to Miami Beach sand and oceanfront promenades.
  • Close to South Beach nightlife, galleries, and the historic Art Deco District.

Choose Delano for a true South Beach, beachfront stay with easy walking access to Collins Avenue and Lincoln Road.

Rooms: Suites and kitchens vs design-forward guestrooms

The Elser Hotel Miami – Rooms

The Elser offers residential-style suites, many with full kitchens, in-suite laundry, and multiple bedroom configurations.

  • 12 suite types including Bay View One Bedroom Suite, Ocean View Two Bedroom Suite, and three-bedroom options for up to 8 guests.
  • Full kitchens, in-suite washer/dryer, floor-to-ceiling windows and many private balconies.
  • Large inventory (646 units) that can accommodate families and groups.

The Elser is better if you need space, kitchens, or multi-bedroom suites for families or longer stays.

Delano Miami Beach – Rooms

Delano's guestrooms focus on design and South Beach style, with a range of city- and ocean-view rooms and suites.

  • Room types include City View, Partial Ocean View, Ocean View, Suites, and multi-bedroom ocean view suites.
  • The supplier listing shows 171 guestrooms with several ocean-view and penthouse options.
  • Rooms emphasize design-forward interiors consistent with the Delano brand.

Delano is for travelers after classic South Beach design and ocean views rather than large, kitchen-equipped suites.

Dining & drinks: Two notable in-house venues vs classic hotel dining

The Elser Hotel Miami – Dining & drinks

The Elser centers its dining around ViceVersa (Italian aperitivo bar) and its rooftop Bay Terrace with bay views.

  • ViceVersa serves Italian small plates, wood-fired pizzas, and aperitivo cocktails (open 5:00 PM–midnight).
  • The Elser Bay Terrace is a rooftop restaurant serving breakfast through dinner and is exclusive to guests/residents.
  • Lobby Market offers grab-and-go items; rooftop happy hours and an active bar program are part of the hotel offer.

Choose The Elser for an Italian aperitivo bar and rooftop dining with downtown bay views.

Delano Miami Beach – Dining & drinks

Delano lists two restaurants and multiple bars/lounges, plus 24-hour room service per the supplier listing.

  • Two on-site restaurants and at least two bars/lounges are listed on the supplier profile.
  • Poolside bar service is available, supporting the hotel's social scene.
  • Full breakfast is available for a fee; a coffee shop/cafe is on property.

Delano offers traditional hotel dining and bar spaces aligned with its South Beach social scene.

Pools & beach: Rooftop deck vs beachfront pools

The Elser Hotel Miami – Pools & beach

The Elser's headline amenity is a 132-foot wraparound rooftop pool with a gradient entry, private lounges, and a swim-spa hot tub.

  • Rooftop deck is roughly 19,000 sq ft and includes a 16-person swim-spa hot tub and a full poolside bar.
  • Access included through the hotel's amenity fee; day passes are sold for non-guests.
  • Rooftop pool hours vary by source (commonly listed morning–evening).

The Elser emphasizes its large rooftop pool and skyline/bay views rather than direct beach frontage.

Delano Miami Beach – Pools & beach

Delano offers two outdoor pools and poolside bars and sits directly on Miami Beach for immediate sand access.

  • Supplier listing notes two outdoor pools and poolside bar service.
  • Direct access to the beach and beach amenities is a core advantage of the location.
  • Beach umbrellas, sun loungers, and cabana options are common at South Beach properties (supplier lists beach umbrellas and cabanas surcharges).

Delano is the option for guests prioritizing beach access and poolside South Beach atmosphere.

Wellness & nightlife: Fitness-forward rooftop vs South Beach scene

The Elser Hotel Miami – Wellness & nightlife

The Elser emphasizes fitness with a two-story 24-hour health club and daily complimentary classes included via the amenity fee.

  • Approximately 10,000 sq ft two-story fitness complex with cardio, weights, studio classes, and personal training.
  • Daily yoga and fitness classes are included in the amenity package.
  • Rooftop pool programming and a large LED pool screen provide daytime and evening activities.

If fitness facilities and an active rooftop social space matter, The Elser is the stronger fit.

Delano Miami Beach – Wellness & nightlife

Delano's Miami Beach location and public spaces support a South Beach nightlife and pool scene.

  • Supplier listing notes 24-hour health club and pool bars—useful for active guests and evening socializing.
  • Close walking distance to Lincoln Road and Collins Avenue nightlife and restaurants.
  • Design-led public areas contribute to the hotel's evening atmosphere.

Delano is better for guests who want South Beach nightlife, beachfront pool time, and walkable evening options.
