Fodor's Expert Review The Palms Hotel & Spa
3025 Collins Ave., Miami Beach, Florida, 33140, United States See on Map
If you're seeking an elegant, relaxed property away from the noise but close to both Mid-beach and South Beach nightlife, you'll find an exceptional beach, an easy pace, and beautiful gardens with soaring palm trees and inviting hammocks here, with rooms as fabulous as the grounds. The hotel also has a 5,000-square-foot Aveda spa and a signature farm-to-table restaurant, Essensia. The property combines excellent service, laid-back sophistication, and oceanfront serenity into a destination where wellness and environmental awareness are high priorities.
room
Rooms offer either a city view, garden view, or ocean view and all are decorated in browns and beige with hints of tropical orange. All rooms offer a Sealy Posturepedic pillow top mattress, coffee maker, safe, and free cable.
bathroom
Bathrooms are spa-like and come furnished with Aveda bath products.
lobby
An expansive lobby, filled with ceiling fans, palm trees, and French doors is a cool, inviting place reminiscent of a Caribbean mansion by the sea. From the lobby, take a walk through the extensive property that features an edible garden, walking paths, and many places to get away from the world.
spa
An Aveda spa features an array of services for men, women, and kids including massage and rituals influenced by ancient Ayurvedic holistic philosophy.
Check into the couples suite for romantic side by side treatments.
gym
A fitness room is open 24 hours a day. In addition, there's beach yoga, zen days, and even a family beach cleanup activity.
dining
Essensia Restaurant offers sustainably-sourced and local ingredients. Much of the restaurant's herbs and produce comes from the property's edible garden. The restaurant holds a "Slow Foods of Miami Snail of Approval" distinction.
LOCATION
Getting Around
The Palms is located Mid Beach, so many of Miami and Miami Beach's attractions are a short drive away. A free Miami Beach trolley connects Mid Beach to South Beach.
Restaurants
27 Restaurant and Bar (10-minute walk) offers a mashup of Israeli, Latin American, and American cuisine in a vintage Miami Beach house. Los Fuegos (10-minute walk) serves meats and seafood by South American grillmaster Francis Mallmann.
WHY WE LIKE IT
Lush grounds, inviting rooms, and a restaurant that offers farm-to-table dining make the Palms a great choice for people who like to commune with nature in an elegant setting.
