Enjoying a stay at Hotel Astor in Miami Beach
One of my favorite hotel experiences would be to stay in a totally unique and one of a kind boutique hotel and the renovated Art Deco style Hotel Astor really fits the bill in terms of the type of place I enjoy staying in. A relatively small hotel centrally located in the Miami’s South Beach area, this hotel is nicely updated with modern conveniences in each room while maintaining many of the Art Deco details throughout the building.
Checking into Hotel Astor
Upon entering the main lobby, you are transported back comfortably back to the Art Deco era with a tropical South Beach vibe that welcomes you to hang out in the lobby like it was your own living room. Check in service is quick and pleasant and the front desk generously offered an early check in even though I arrived in the later morning time frame. Just off the lobby area is a bar and breakfast service, there is also a larger downstairs bar and hangout area for any larger gatherings. I loved spending most of my time outdoors in the spacious patio area. Even though there is no pool, the seating area is just perfect for spending some time outdoors in a quiet and colorful garden space filled with tropical flowers and comfortable seating areas.

The big surprise were the extra large bedroom suites with a large king size bed and a complete living room area adjacent to the bed. With a nice office desk fronting two large windows, you get a lot of light in each of the bedrooms and I loved all the modern and colorful furnishings and details in the bedroom. The bathroom is also large with modern fixtures, amenities and super plush towels. It’s easy to spread out your personal belongings all around the room and bathroom and the staff will leave everything in place while doing a complete daily change service.

Fun things to do around South Beach
Hotel Astor loans out free bike cruisers all day for guests and I quickly took advantage of this by exploring the area and famous Ocean Drive in South Beach. I even woke up early the next morning to participate in the sunrise Yoga classes offered on the beach which is a fun and popular thing to do on the beach. Hanging out on at South beach, doing morning yoga and a nice morning walk a great way to start the day on one of the best US beaches in Florida.

Beach time at South Beach
After an active morning of Yoga, biking around the South Beach area, it was nice to finally find a nice spot on the beach to relax and even take a dip in the warm Atlantic ocean. You can bring hotel towels with you and the bike has a nice handy basket to carry towels and other provisions to bring along with you for a day at the beach or exploring the rest of South Beach.

This is my kind of hotel! Beautiful post and pictures, thank you for sharing! I’ve love to visit Miami Beach sometime soon.
I’d love to be able to do some sunrise beach yoga!! I can only imagine how peaceful and energizing it would be!
I love how the decorations are so homey. The morning yoga sounds like it’s right up my alley!
Miami beaches look like a dream and the hotel looks pretty nice too! Looks like you had a great time 🙂
I love how the rooms have a retro feel! I like the decor for sure. I’ll definitely check this one out when I visit South Beach in the future.
Did you do yoga as the sun rose? The sunrise looked gorgeous! I really like how the interior of the hotel doesn’t look like what I would expect from miami beach- looks lovely. 🙂
I just love a hotel room with a sitting area/living room. It really adds such a nice touch. Hotel Astor looks great! Oh, how I’d try to wake up for the sunrise yoga classes. That looks like such a peaceful way to start the day!
If I’m ever in Miami I’ll check out Hotel Astor. Your photos are great man! Great info on fun things to do around South Beach as well!
I really like the retro details like the vintage phone next to the bed. Biking to the beach sounds great, though biking your way back I am not so sure haha.
I’ve heard great things about Hotel Astor and it just looks gorgeous. I’ll have to check it out. Thanks for sharing!
I love hotels like Hotel Astor, and I will remember it should I get to South Beach someday. Although when I find myself in great boutique hotels, I find it even more difficult to get out for early morning yoga.
I just happen to be looking for places to stay before and after my Fathom cruise in June. Hotel Astor will be researched!
