Hotel St. Michel 162 Alcazar Avenue, Coral Gables, FL 33134

"Centrally located near miracle mile and several embassies this boutique hotel is a hidden gem. It is tiny, quite, and unique. I’m not sure if I would choose it with kids or if you have trouble with stairs as the elevator is an antique without full doors and you may at times find the stairs more convenient. There is a quite popular high end restaurant on the first floor, though I did not try it, it seems to be well loved. The staff was friendly, helpful and just an overall plus for the entire experience. The room I stayed in was spacious clean and well appointed. I would definitely stay there again and recommend it to anyone looking for an affordable option with unique character, outside of the chain hotel cookie cutter style."

"Place is clean enough and has good character. Outshined a bit by other new hotels but this one is acceptable if you are okay with fewer amenities and sketchy wifi."

"We came back to Miami for a final dress fitting for my boyfriend's sons wedding. We happened to find the Hotel St. Michel located 3 minutes from the dress shop. Growing up in Sarasota, Fl and living in Massachusetts for 17 years, we appreciated the "old" blended with the "new". The Hotel St. Michel is quirky, but FUN! From the manual elevator to using keys to unlock the door to the ornate door knobs, this boutique hotel brings back the nostalgia of the 1920s. Our room was clean, had soft towels, and a firm mattress. Unlike some reviews, we did have hot water. It took some practice getting the temperature right, but it was plentiful. If you like architecture, history, and old world style mixed with a modern twist, then this is the place for you."

"I had such high hopes for this hotel but was left completely disappointed. When I checked in I thought wow this is cool. Old elevator. Old school keys but that is where it ended. I was showed to my room which when I entered the handle on the door fell off. Then it had such a strong mildew smell that I had to open all the windows. Next the room was overlooking the alley and the dumpster which the noise from people throwing out bottles and trash woke me up on a few occasions. I was also woken up with stomping and chairs being moved from the room above because there are no carpets in the rooms. This was all topped off by there being no hot water to shower in the morning. When I brought that to the attention of the front desk clerk the explanation was there is only one boiler and kind of shrugged her shoulders as if saying sorry that’s just the way it is. Do not stay at this hotel unless you want a bad night sleep and a cold shower in the morning."

"The hotel is absolutely stunning. Looks like it is straight out of a movie. I recently had the pleasure of interacting with Xavier, at Hotel St. Michel, and I must say, his exceptional service and genuine kindness left a lasting impression. From the moment I reached out, Xavier displayed a remarkable level of professionalism and hospitality. He was prompt in his responses and providing detailed information. The Hotel St. Michel is a place where exceptional service and genuine kindness are the norm. I HIGHLY recommend. This is a beautiful area with a positive environment."
