Originally built in 1936- the Hotel Nash reopened in late December 1999 with an emphasis on superb comfort- elegant style- and attentive personal service. The Nashs 52 guest rooms are havens of soothing sage-green and ivory- custom furnished with shield-shaped armoires- and lounge beds. Beautiful studies of local flora adorn the rooms walls. Spacious green-tiled bathrooms are equipped with Calcutta-marble vanities- and rainforest showerheads. Our three soothing spa pools provide an added balm to the senses. Modeling the civilized luxury of the South of France in the 1940s- the Nashs self-contained garden evokes a romantic and aromatic Eden- replete with blooming jasmine- star anise- cypresses- bougainvillea- and soaring Norfolk Island Pines. Each season in the garden yields a different- captivating fragrance. The Hotel Nash ranks at 4 Stars. The Nashs lobby-level restaurant- Marks South Beach- offers world-class cuisine in an intimate dining room that opens onto the garden and pool area. Ideally located in the heart of Miami Beaches landmark Art Deco district- the Nash is one block from the beach- and within strolling distance of some of the best shops- restaurants- and cultural attractions in town- including the galleries and boutiques of nearby Lincoln Road.We have got a great team- a superb location- and a beautiful hotel; all the ingredients necessary for a perfect visit to South Beach.

Used to be great, now it ain't

Mediocre
This used to be a great hotel at a great price. We stayed here for years. Every year it got a little worse. But now, with new management, it's totally lost it.
1) They now have a $10 "resort fee" that they add to all bills....
63 year old male with a moderate budget, traveling for leisure
It is with disappointment that I feel compelled to write of our recent experience at the Nash Hotel which was not a pleasant one.
We met up with friends from the England and Belgium for a few days on South Beach before a New Year cruise. Our booking had been made in September after viewing the hotel on the web and discussing and agreeing on the rooms and rates with the manager who confirmed this in writing.
On arriving at the hotel we found that one of our rooms The Penthouse Suite, was not as seen and discussed, when we queried this we were given one of two options, 'Take it' or 'Leave it'. After a long flight and with eleven pieces of luggage between us we did not fancy trailing Collins Street looking for alternate accommodation so made the unfortunate decision to 'Take it'.
The Penthouse had virtually no storage space, a small wardrobe with no full hanging facility, even jackets trailed on the floor, no other cupboards or drawers and the bathroom had neither a shelf or unit for our toiletries. For four days we lived out of suitcases with our clothes hanging from every available door. The Terrace was also a disappointment as it had no table or chairs, when it is described on the web as 'being beautifully furnished and being perfect for outside lounging, entertaining and dining'. When we asked the management for chairs so that we could sit out and enjoy the sun we were informed that the furniture had not arrived, had there ever been any? The rooms also had a continuing problem with the air conditioning which was overheating.
So, ok not so good so far, but worse was to come when the general manager who had originally taken our booking, informed us that for the last night of our stay the rate for the Penthouse Suite was being increased by over 100% as we were moving into 'High Season'! As we had not been prudent enough to take a copy of our confirmation with us which clearly stated the rate we should be paying, he was totally intransigent and left us once again with the same two options, he also told us that we would probably find that most of the other smaller hotels in the area would be fully booked as it was New Year weekend. This time we took the other option and did in fact find a smaller boutique hotel a couple of blocks away at a third of the price and incidentally with great storage space, air conditioning that worked and management and staff that did not have an attitude problem. Incidentally we also met a couple who were leaving the hotel at the same time as us who had experienced the same problem with the general manager who had tried to double the room rate for their last night's stay.
As if the experience that I describe here was not enough, the hotel charged to my credit card additional $378.55 dollars that I did not approve or was not in my printed invoice. Not good business practice
Our stay at the Nash did not show the American hospitality or honesty at it's best to us or our friends from overseas. The arrogance of the general manager was beyond belief, especially as collectively we had spent a great deal of money at the hotel.
I am not likely
to return to the Hotel Nash.
I would not recommend it to friends.
The Hotel Nash was a major disappointment, as was South Beach. Both the city and hotel were dirty and disinviting. What a major waste of money! I will never go back to Miami, and I wouldn't recommend this hotel to my worst enemy. The hotel...
Hotel Nash is all about the Art Deco district of SoBe - helpful staff, retro design, friendly staff, fantastic location, and - oh yeah - great staff! From the valet to the maid there was nothing I would change. A block from the beach, but on...
What a People-Watching Place!

Okay
This is a great hotel for sitting on the front patio and watching the tourists walk by. But, in the winter, when it gets chilly (60 degrees) outside, it is HILARIOUS to watch the locals walk down the street to go to dinner in their gloves, scarves...
There's one important thing about staying in South Beach...LOCATION! Hotel Nash was in the perfect location, two short blocks away from the beach, not too far from the restaurants on Ocean Dr and a short taxi ride from some of the swankier...
Since the moment you walk in, the relaxation sets in...the smell of aromatherapy fills the lobby area and the all white decor just relaxes you into oblivion...do not be fooled by the fact that this is a small hotel...no detail is spared here...the...
I loved Hotel Nash! The hotel was very clean and the staff was extremely friendly. The location is great, it is just a block from the main strip, Ocean Drive. The room was a little small but very cozy. I would recommend getting the Garden view Queen ...

Good
Nice Hotel in heart of Art Deco district. Unfortunately, I was given 1 of 3 rooms next to elevator- the elevator shaft actually takes up part of rooms 101, 201, and 301, and is quite loud. Staff would not change room due to being "full"...
