Sherman's Expert Review

The 1930s Art Deco heyday of Miami Beach lives on at The Park Central, a lavender, blue, and mint-green confection where a Humphrey Bogart figure (designed by Cuban artists) sits at the wheel of a vintage car out front and historic black-and-white seashore-themed photos grace the hallways. The 125 roomsmore and suites, many of which have stunning ocean views, transport guests to another time with custom-made period furniture, ceiling fans, and relaxed, island-style décor, while plasma TVs, free WiFi, and iPod docking stations keep them connected to the modern day. The heated swimming pool, a rooftop sundeck, complimentary beach chairs, and ocean-side location provide for ultimate down time. Sidewalk and terrace seating at the hotel’s Casablanca Café and fine dining restaurant Quinn’s are primed for beach views and Ocean Drive people-watching.

OK so I understand that they are preserving this art deco of this Hotel and yes it does feel like a B&B, in fact the there is a B&B right next door. I was a bit bummed at how small the rooms were and that they do not have a kitchenette. I was told... more

"Terrific location. Charming and historic hotel."

Terrific location on South Beach with full cabana service. Nice rooftop views with that. Luxuriant old Art Deco hotel, well maintained with a rich architectural flair. The price was competitive and made for a good value. Talk about rich history, I... more

It was love at first sight with me and the Park Central. I went here for spring break and the rates were so reasonable for the room we had. I loved the art deco interior of the lobby, and actually prefer it to the more pricier hotels in the area. Bc... more

"Wonderful Time"

My wife and I stayed for a week. Loved the place. The 40's atmosphere was perfect. Staff was alway friendly and attentive, especially

Perfect location in the middle of everything on Ocean Avenue. It's a classy establishment with great service. The room overlooked the Atlantic and Ocean Avenue and was without a nightclub (read good for sleeping).  The room was a bit old (I thought... more

I was really impressed with the Park Central. It was such a nice hotel with lovely large rooms, stylish little bathrooms, which had great showers. I found the staff helpful and polite. Sometimes i'm not sure what people expect because reading some... more

Caveat:  The Park Central gets a five-star rating for being great at what it is.  I'm not saying it's on par with a Ritz Carlton.  But it IS right on Ocean Ave. in a prime beach spot, and has a friendly staff (great concierge as mentioned),... more

"Great stay at The Park Central"

My wife and I stayed at the Park Central for a short two night anniversary trip. The staff was great. They were very helpful and kind

Daniela described this hotel quite well...We were there for quite a while and were very impressed with the hotel. It's definitely old (typical Art Deco hotel) but they've fixed it up nicely. For example, the bed is new and clean and big, but the... more

"A calm introduction to South Beach"

It is very important to realise that this hotel is to some degree for the type of people it was first created for, ie cost concious but needing a little style as well and wanting to be as close to the action without being actually among the... more
