Vintro Hotel South Beach

When I arrived at check-​in, Jeremy made me feel very welcome and was very accommodating. This continued throughout my time there, so I would most definitely return.
The hotel room and premises was very clean though it looks as if there is room for improvement regarding the hotel sheets. Customer service was so impeccable that didn’t even matter.
The sofa and desk in the room was very functional, the design very beautiful modern, and chic. However, it was quite a shocker when I realized that the shower was see-​through into the room because I hadn’t realized that from the pictures online. Maybe a panel of curtains to cover so you can decide if you want to be seen showering would be nice. Fortunately, the toilet area has a frosted over panel so you do have privacy there. The design is pretty cool nonetheless, and I loved the pressure and size of the shower head. There were a lot of options for lighting in the room too. So many nice fashion references such as the beautiful wallpaper design in the elevator, the artistic large rendering of the woman on top of the bar, the massive book of classic photography in the lobby.
It was very helpful to have toiletries provided and great options to hang out at the hotel, such as Vintro Kitchen, the outside patio, and definitely the rooftop hammocks, pool and lounge beds. I don’t drink, but the bar is another spot if you’re into that kinda thing. Refreshments are provided by the pool and I liked that there’s two bathrooms on the rooftop, and one of them has a shower and lockers. Thoughtful toiletries were provided such as sunblock, aloe gel, soap, conditioner, etc.
It was pretty quiet and peaceful and incredibly conducive to work, and zonking out to finally get some much needed rest. It’s pretty awesome that bikes, beach towels, and chairs for the beach are provided too. A really great place!

Was a little concerned after reading some of the most recent reviews. I came into town early in the morning and asked for an early checkin; I did have to wait a couple of hours, but I lounged on the upstairs terrace sand had breakfast in the restaurant, so the time passed fairly quickly, and by 10:30am was taken to my room (normal checkin is at 3pm). So things started off well!
We had 3 people in a 1 bedroom suite on the third floor – lots of windows with natural light streaming in! Bathroom doesn’t have much counter space, and you can see into the shower if you’re in the bedroom through the glass wall, which is fine for couples but not 3 adults.
I found the service to be stellar – everyone from the valet to the front desk to the housekeeping staff to be really friendly and helpful!
You do have to pay a one night fee if you leave early, but this is pretty standard especially on a holiday weekend.
Great place, especially for 20 somethings.

If you’re looking for a boutique hotel in Miami, Vintro is a good option. It’s located a bit away from the main hustle and bustle of South Beach (about a 20 minute walk to Lincoln Road), and so a bit quieter and calmer. There was also a lot of construction going on around the area, so it’s probably not the best option for walking around a lot, but only a few blocks to the beach.
Things I liked:
+ the hotel staff was really friendly and efficient; they even held our bags for us when we went to the beach after checkout
+ our room on the 4^th floor had a separate (small) bedroom and huge living/​lounging space
+ beautiful rooftop deck and (very small) pool that was perfect for sunbathing
+ quiet and clean
+ beautiful design and decorations
Things that were weird:
+ as a design feature, the shower in our bathroom had a glass wall that looked out directly into the bedroom with no privacy. This was fine since we were a couple sharing the bedroom, but may pose an issue for others. You also had 0 privacy when using the bathroom (you could see directly into the bathroom from the glass wall), and could easily wake your partner up with the lights when using the bathroom in the middle of the night.
+ we had the continental breakfast included in our stay, but it was truly awful. It was a weird selection of poached eggs in cups, cold cuts, cheese cubes, juice, coffee, cereal, and pastries. This sounds extensive, but nothing was good. The coffee tasted like murky water, the eggs were rock hard, the cheese I picked up was moldy, and some of the pastries were stale. I felt like they just reused food from previous days, and I definitely would not pay for this again.
Besides these two points, Vintro was perfectly fine for a 2 night stay. It’s a cute hotel, quiet (during off season at least), and perfect for a quick getaway. Just avoid the breakfast!

Really upset with my experience BUT I can recognize that this may not always be the case.
Upon arrival
–Broken elevator
–Couldn’t check in my room two hours early but hotel was seemingly empty
–Walked up to the rooftop «pool» to discover it was the size of a family’s jacuzzi. I don’t mind if you have that, just don’t charge me a resort fee.
Later:
–Got takeout and needed a fork and knife. I asked kitchen staff and they gave me a fork only after pleading that I BRING it back after use
–Construction noises 2.5 days I was there
–Called and asked the front desk about it and answer was «I’m the only person on staff here I’m sorry»
–Couldn’t shower my 2^nd and 3^rd days because it was cold. Not lukewarm. Cold. Got on a flight smelling like rotting ocean lol.
–Housekeeping hadn’t cleaned my room until 5:30 PM even though I had the sign requesting it since 8AM (I had to call front desk and request) — to housekeeping credit they did an amazing job
–Vintro gave me free breakfast and took 1 Night off of my bill as a concession. I didn’t even have to complain cause they knew this bad review was probably coming
Needless to say I won’t be back. The hotel is very cute and it seems like the front desk wants to do their job properly, but I just don’t think they have it all together over there (they’re prepping to be part of Hilton). If you have to make the choice between this and one of the other hundreds of hotels on Miami Beach I think I would go with something else. Just so you can avoid the kinks. If you’re someone who appreciates a refund in exchange for a bad experience this is for you. Me, I like things done right the first time. I was actually surprised how this all went down!

Vintro is located away from the «hot spots» of Miami Beach. Considering the expensive price, I would have rather booked a hotel closer to the beach or a better area. The room was very small (again, considering the price, I expected at least a sofa in the room!) and although they tried very hard to make the hotel/​room «chic,» they didn’t take the time to wash the sheets/​pillow cases properly. I am not a neat-​freak, but it makes me imagine what was happening on the bed if I see red-​brownish stains on the sheets/​covers. They have bikes free of rental, but they have limited number of bikes, so you will not be able to use this amenity (like us) if the bikes are already taken. Total waste of $ 20 mandatory resort fee per day. I wasn’t able to try the restaurant in the hotel, but I dont think I was missing out on much.
I would not recommend this hotel to anyone who would like to experience Miami Beach to the fullest.

The rooms are very nice and pretty cool Decour. Buffett breakfast for $ 28 after tax and tip
I feel that’s a lot to pay for some cold cuts, toast, muffin and a cup of coffee. But that’s just me
Also the hotel charges a $ 20 resort fee which is mandatory. And never mentioned to me when I booked this place. Sign outside says $ 20 for valet
But my bill at checkout was$ 35.
person at front desk said well that’s just for people to visit hotel … NOT for hotel guests
I don’t enjoy petty stuff like that !!!

The Vintro hotel is very welcoming. The staff is friendly and helpful. The room is great I love the fact that they have cable and a wide range of channels because the weather wasn’t at its best out here but spending time in the room wasn’t bad at all. They are located in a great spot and from what I hear compared to many other hotels on «the strip» the Vintro is pretty clean and kept together. There are a bunch of visually stimulating pieces in this hotel even the elevator is fun to be in. I wish there was someone working at the bar more often but other than that I have no complaints here. Rating wise though I’d give it a high 3, low 4 star rating.

This hotel is beautiful. The grounds are nice. The rooms aren’t huge but their just big enough. We have full cable and the lighting is great. The third floor has a nice hang out area. I was only disappoint that the pool is soo small. It literally can only fit about 4 people and its tucked at the side of the roof top. But it is warm soo I guess that a plus. They have hammocks which I love! The front desk and staff are very acclimating and friendly. They offer free bikes for the day time hours and free shuttle from 9 – 9. All the major areas are close by, Collins Ave, Washington Ave, etc. I stayed at a hotel on the Miami beach strip before and honestly it was horrible ! This is about 7 min drive away, 12 min walk and completely worth the distance in quality!
The reason I give it 4 is because of the small pool and also I wish there was a bartender available at all time but I can’t recall really seeing one there until Saturday night.
Tip: I would definitely try and find them thru Expedia or groupon or something because the stay is very price. About 250 $ a night plus resort fees but thru Expedia it was only 500 $ for the flight from NY plus a 2 night wkend stay.

This place is pretty nice. The staff is very friendly, the hotel offers a rooftop lounging area, and the rooms are clean and very couple-​friendly.
However, the hotel has a thief employed under their management. Some items were stolen from my room, and the room service manager and hotel director ensured that they protected their employees.
A friend of mine vomited in the room on one of the nights I stayed there, and the hotel manager was able to use that as an excuse to persuade me to «forget» about the stolen items.
«We would charge you $ 250 for the vomit, but since you’re missing items, we will gladly remove that fee for you in exchange.»
Again, it would have been a complete and wonderful stay had one of their staff did not steal things from my room and played that «we would’ve charge you a fee anyway» card. Crooks.

Vintro Kitchen, a cozy Gem in SOBE!
Tucked away inside the Vintro Hotel, the Vintro Kitchen in another Gem that has grazed the over the top tourist trap restaurants that have been taking over South Beach. The intimate friendly relaxed aura will invite you in from the moment you enter the lobby area, greeted by a smiling bartender proud of mixing the ultimate cocktails made with fresh fruit juices and other concoctions they have to offer.
The restaurants itself is an open area with high ceilings, rustic yet contemporary décor that complements the Mediterranean and Latin influences in the menu. We were immediately greeted by Julie, our server who has recently join the Vintro team, her warm genuine smile and her eagerness to serve was a key point from the beginning that this would be a great dining experience. The restaurant also has an outdoor area overlooking the canal; it was too hot that evening so we chose to dine inside.
We started with cocktails, I tried the Fat Tail, grey goose with fresh passion fruit, I cannot remember the other ingredients but it was yummy! And my friend had an Elvira, careful with this sweet drinks, went straight to my head.
Here are some of the items we tried;
Artisanal Bread and house marinated olives
Croquettes: goat cheese, prosciutto, vegetable
Lamb Meatballs with chimichurri and red pepper
Seared Sea Scallops
Grilled Octopus
No-​bake cheesecake
Chocolate pudding
All items in the menu are meant to be shared, and to our surprise, Chef Luis Antezana himself came out to greet us and make sure that everything was up to our standards. Excellent service, delicious food and uncomplicated surroundings make Vintro Kitchen a perfect place for a date, business meeting or a night out with friends.

Executive Chef: Luis Antezana

Stayed here for a week in September while on business in Miami. I like the hotel and décor a lot and the rates were good for the location. The Vintro’s staff were great and very helpful. I took a star off only because it can get noisy there. I was on the second floor with a room that faced toward the restaurant below, which could get noisy from open till close. There was also a lot of foot traffic going by the door with staff and housekeeping activities that could make things noisy at certain times of day.

My friend and I had a little getaway to Miami to escape the Chicago winter in March. We stayed at the Vintro based on price and reviews. The hotel was clean and the staff were extremely friendly — especially Anastasia! The room was small, but tidy and the staff were attentive to a small issue we had with water leaking from the shower. The pool is tiny, but the rooftop is really relaxing. This hotel is a nice option if you want to get away from the big resort style Miami hotels.

We are big fans of smaller boutique Hotels. This one stole our heart. We booked three nights. When we arrived in mid Dec. glasses of chilled champagne were poured for us. I mean like how friendly is that? Fernando is there to take care of you at the front desk no matter how large or small your emergency. The rooms are wonderful comfy beds super clean complementary espresso machine in each room. The décor is ultra hip and modern, but still maintains comfort. The artwork though out the place is truly amazing. Stuff you will not see anywhere else .We ate in the restaurant more than once and it was always wonderful. The morning buffet is a work of art. But make sure you stop at the bar for a cocktail Both bartenders Nick and Brook are super talented and a wonderful wealth of information on the area for whats hot and whats not. The one thing we noticed is that everyone here wanted to be here you never got the feeling you were in the way. you really felt like someones guest. We loved this place so much that after our cruise we came back for another unplanned 3 day stay. now that is saying loving it. Cant wait to see you again this spring.

This place is very cute and Intimate. Perfect for dates, drinks are delicious! Food outstanding. Just one thing, it took about 10 minutes for my drinks every time I ordered. The hotel is small but beautiful everyone has a smile. Really looking forward to my next time.

The Vintro is classy, fun and gorgeous. My friends and I stayed here for two nights and had a wonderful experience. The owner is very friendly and welcomed us with champagne upon our arrival. The rooms were very clean and modern. We also ate at the restaurant and were impressed with the menu. I would definitely recommend this hotel to a group or a couple.

This hotel was gorgeous and we had a wonderful stay. My boyfriend and I unknowingly booked online during their opening weekend. As with any new business, they had some minor setbacks (I.e. No hot water) but the water was warm enough to take a shower and as a thank you for being understanding they gave us the room half price along with complimentary breakfast, valet, bike rentals and shuttle. The rooms, food and all the amenities were spectacular. I loved my stay at this hotel and definitely would come back in the future even at the full priced rate.
