Historic Art Deco hotel in heart of South Beach facing the ocean. One night stay in March 2025. The hotel shows it's wear and tear. Clean and in heart of the action. Cool façade. An electrical circuit blew blew out while we were at dinner on Saturday night and knocked our the outlet where the the air conditioning and mini refrigerator was located. Maintenance could not locate circuit breaker and we spent night without AC. Limited staff and dining on premises.

I had a great stay at the colony hotel Monday after my cruise, the staff was very friendly. They accommodated me very well. We arrived a bit early due to getting off of our cruise ship at an early time and they were able to get us in a room before check in time thankfully! The colony had a very homey/ personal feeling or experience. Good deals at the restaurant in front of the hotel if you decide to dine there while staying here.

Hotel is in great location and while it’s an old building and the hallway was dimly light, the room was clean and comfortable and I had no issues. Elevator is a little scary based on age and style but it worked as designed. Parking is tough but the public garage on 7th ave is a short walk and half the price of valet.
