Other amenities include private beach service, a 24-hour fitness center with Peloton bikes, the Lobby Bar and Rooftop Pool Bar, The Betsy Library, and the Carlton Room, a working lounge complete with a coffee shop. Thoughtfully designed public spaces welcome guests to lounge and enjoy cultural programming year-round which includes nightly live jazz, poetry readings, and chamber music performances.

Like the rest of South Beach, Lincoln Road is fun, colorful, and offers plenty to do. But unlike the fabulous stretches of Washington Avenue, Ocean Drive, and Collins Avenue, this miles-long road is completely pedestrian-friendly, which means not a single car, bus, trolley or motorcycle will distract you from the shops, restaurants, galleries, and shows all worth heading to. From morning to night, Lincoln Road vibrantly welcomes both tourists and locals alike to enjoy a leisurely stroll past the gawk-worthy window displays, personable street performers, and outdoor dining areas designed for people watching. A day well spent on Lincoln Road may include an early brunch, afternoon shopping, evening drinks and an outdoor movie.

South Beach is home to the famed “Art Deco District’, with the world's largest collection of over 800 art-deco buildings from the 1930s and 40s, and is listed in the National Register of Historic Places. As you stroll down Ocean Drive, you’ll recognize Art Deco buildings by their gentle pastel colors, which contrast with architecture that is rigid and cubistic. Enjoy the unique ornaments and decorations too that include nautical motifs, neon lines, and terrazzo floors. (Betsy too has a Terrazzo Floor; while the hotel underwent a complete restoration in 2009, it lobby floor is the original.) To get acquainted with this dazzling collection, visit The Art Deco Welcome Center, located at 10th and Ocean where guided and self-guided tours are on offer year round.

Venture out on Espanola Way where you’ll find a charming enclave of boutiques and restaurants, with the distinct feel of a quaint Spanish village. Our location around the corner from Espanola Way reinforces that notion, in so many ways. Espanola Way is less than a five- minute walk away, and something 'not to miss' while you're visiting South Beach.Espanola Way is a short and narrow pedestrian alley in the heart of South Beach – with low-rise buildings in pastel colors (pink predominantly) which used to be an artists’ district. It really has the feeling of an old and traditional Spanish village, though it is not – as it was designed by the very American Robert Taylor in 1925. Espanola Way is full of art galleries, bars, restaurants, and quaint shops. While it comes to life in the mid-afternoon, you can also enjoy a quiet cup of coffee and a pastry there in the morning. And you will often find the party going until the wee hours of the morning.
