A Look Inside The Elser Hotel Miami

See all photos →

Location: Downtown Bayfront vs Mid‑Beach sand

The Elser Hotel Miami – Location

The Elser sits on the downtown waterfront at 398 NE 5th Street, right across from Bayfront Park and a short walk to Bayside Marketplace.

  • Steps from Bayfront Park, Bayside Marketplace and Metromover stations (about 300 meters to nearby stops).
  • Walkable to Kaseya Center and many downtown museums and attractions.
  • Partner beach club access on Miami Beach included with the amenity fee (beach is a drive/rideshare away).

Choose The Elser for immediate access to downtown attractions and easy transit connections.

The Miami Beach EDITION – Location

The Miami Beach EDITION sits on Collins Avenue in Mid‑Beach with immediate access to the sand and Miami Beach Boardwalk.

  • Direct beachfront location with the beach and boardwalk steps away.
  • Close to Mid‑Beach and South Beach dining, shops and nightlife along Collins Avenue and nearby Lincoln Road within a short drive or rideshare.
  • Preferred airport: Miami Intl. Airport (MIA).

Choose the EDITION if you want to be on the sand and near Mid‑Beach nightlife and beachwalk access.

Rooms: Suites and kitchens vs hotel rooms

The Elser Hotel Miami – Rooms

The Elser offers residential-style suites designed for longer stays and groups.

  • Full kitchens (fridge, oven, stovetop/microwave) and in-suite washer/dryer in every suite.
  • Multiple suite layouts including one- to three-bedroom options and large suites that sleep up to 8 guests.
  • Many suites have floor-to-ceiling windows and private balconies with city or bay views.

The Elser is the practical choice for families or groups who want apartment comforts in Miami.

The Miami Beach EDITION – Rooms

The Miami Beach EDITION provides luxury hotel rooms and suites tailored to resort stays.

  • 294 air-conditioned rooms with minibars and LCD televisions (room-type breakdown not published in supplier list).
  • Down comforters and designer toiletries in private bathrooms; room details vary by category.
  • Room-service and 24-hour front desk services available.

The EDITION is organized like a traditional luxury beachfront resort rather than apartment-style living.

Dining & drinks: Local Italian aperitivo vs a multi-venue resort

The Elser Hotel Miami – Dining & drinks

The Elser centers its food-and-drink program around ViceVersa and a guest-only rooftop terrace.

  • ViceVersa is a Michelin-recognized Italian aperitivo bar serving cocktails, small plates and wood-fired pizzas (open evenings).
  • Bayview Terrace (rooftop) offers breakfast, lunch, dinner and sunset views; rooftop venues are guest/resident-exclusive.
  • Lobby Market (The Pantry) for snacks and essentials; reservations recommended for peak evenings at ViceVersa.

The Elser focuses on a smaller, curated dining program with standout Italian aperitivo and rooftop options for guests.

The Miami Beach EDITION – Dining & drinks

The Miami Beach EDITION has a larger on-site dining footprint with multiple restaurants and bars.

  • Five restaurants including Matador Room (Latin American cuisine) and 1 coffee shop/cafe.
  • 24-hour room service and poolside snack options; multiple bars/lounges and a poolside bar.
  • Breakfast available for a fee; some venues and services may have surcharges (e.g., cabanas).

The EDITION suits travelers who want a variety of on-site dining and bar choices without leaving the property.

Pools & beach: Rooftop downtown pool vs multiple outdoor pools + beach

The Elser Hotel Miami – Pools & beach

The Elser’s signature water feature is its large rooftop pool and swim-spa hot tub.

  • 132-foot wraparound rooftop pool with gradient entry and a shallow end designed for families.
  • 16-person swim-spa hot tub and a 16-foot poolside LED screen on the rooftop deck.
  • Guests get partner beach club access on Miami Beach as part of the amenity fee (beach club south of 5th Street).

The Elser’s rooftop pool is a defining on-site amenity; beach access is via the partner beach club rather than the hotel’s own beach.

The Miami Beach EDITION – Pools & beach

The EDITION combines resort pools with immediate beachfront access.

  • Two outdoor pools on property plus direct access to the beach and boardwalk.
  • Beach cabanas available for a surcharge and a poolside bar for drinks and snacks.
  • Pool and beach programming often tied to the hotel’s nightlife and events calendar.

The EDITION is a better pick if being on the sand and having multiple pool options on site matters most.

Wellness & nightlife: Fitness and classes vs spa and a nightclub

The Elser Hotel Miami – Wellness & nightlife

The Elser emphasizes fitness and active programming alongside its social rooftop scene.

  • Two-story, ~10,000 sq ft 24-hour fitness complex with cardio/weight equipment and a fitness studio.
  • Daily complimentary yoga and fitness classes included in the amenity fee.
  • Rooftop bar and evening programming create a social atmosphere without a large on-site nightclub.

The Elser suits guests who prioritize fitness facilities and daytime wellness classes with a social rooftop in the evenings.

The Miami Beach EDITION – Wellness & nightlife

The Miami Beach EDITION pairs a full-service spa with evening nightlife options.

  • On-site full-service spa offering massages, body treatments and facials (spa name not required to be published).
  • 24-hour fitness center and scheduled fitness classes available.
  • An on-site nightclub and programming that emphasize nightlife and late-evening social scenes.

Choose the EDITION if you want a resort spa plus nightlife programming steps from the beach.
