I was weary of heading out to 6th and Washington for drinks with friends, but since it was a going away party I decided to check this place out. I was super surprised by the overall ambiance of the bar/lounge, and would definitely recommend this as a great place to gather a bunch of people for appetizers and drinks. They have couches along the walls, and you can order drinks and food from servers or at the bar- making bill-splitting a non-issue since everyone orders at their own pace. I love the historic feel inside the lounge which is created by architectural detailing and the lighting. I think they have an outside garden/patio area too. One downside was that my mojito was around $13, but I guess that's what you get on South Beach. Good thing I only had one.

Tip: There's a parking lot across the street off 7th and Collins. $1/hour- very reasonable!

As a local resident of South Beach, you tend to learn about hotels either by (a) renting a room for your parents because your apartment is too small for them to stay with you when they visit; or (b) spending the night with a tourist.  I recently paid a visit to The Anglers, and all I'm saying is, my parents weren't in town.  And I may have had a few drinks before I arrived at the hotel.  So it took me a little while to take in my surroundings and realize, hey, this hotel room is pretty nice.  I would put my parents here too.

The beds are huuuuuge, with a soft/firm combo that makes for the best sleep.  Bathroom: cavernous.  Living room furniture over there in the corner: tasteful.  Color scheme: sands and beiges, classy.

Art Deco hotels usually have miniscule rooms, so this one is a rare find.  Lots of the rooms are new wings built onto the hotel, they're not the original structure, and those have balconies that are nice; it takes away a little Art Deco romance with all the new construction, but it's no big deal.

The staff is friendly-ish.

The Anglers loses points for its lousy pool, completely surrounded by the aforementioned newly-constructed rooms.  There's, like, no sunlight.  But I guess that's what the beach is for, two blocks away.  And you want parking?  It's in the middle of South Beach, good luck finding a spot.

I stayed here last month and thoroughly enjoyed my visit.  I arrived at the hotel a few hours before check-in time, and they allowed me to change and took my luggage so I wouldn't have to lug it around Miami Beach.  I was called the instant my room was ready.  Check-in was done at the room, with my luggage waiting for me.  You can tell customer service is a tremendous priority for the hotel.  

The room itself was really nice - a living/sitting area, an electronics center with ipod dock, radio, DVD player, and a nice flat screen TV.  The ipod dock didn't work, but I didn't think it was a big deal, and I had to turn down their request to fix it three times.  One cool feature was that the sound came from speakers that were built into the ceiling, so you had surround sound no matter what function you wanted to use.

I did notice that you could rent DVDs for 99 cents from the front desk, or even rent a Wii for 30 bucks!  A fun tidbit of knowledge.  

I have heard some good things about their new restaurant, 660, but didn't notice anyone that ate there.

Good small pool - nice and heated, with pool-side service as well.  Really comfortable cushioned loungers with complimentary lime-and-lemon flavored water.

The location is on the quiet side of the 'strip', about a 15 minute walk to the hustle and bustle.  If you don't mind that, I'd highly recommend this place.

What a class act this hotel is!

My story is somewhat unbelievable. After arriving at the Angler's late on a Sunday night, my water broke 12 hours later at 29 weeks pregnant. I wound up in the hospital on bed rest for 6 weeks before delivering an ultimately  healthy baby.

In the meantime, my mother flew out to be with me, and she stayed at the Angler's that whole time instead of my husband and me. The fantastic staff here was so accommodating - reducing the rate by more than half , sending DVDs my way, continuing to provide my mom with free breakfast, delivering lunch the day of my scheduled delivery, and sending me the most beautiful floral arrangement when all was said and done.

This is customer service at its finest, and I will always remember them fondly in my great adventure. Do give this very charming, boutique hotel a shot. The rooms are nice (just watch out for the small, slippery, open shower), the location is great and the rest has already been told...

nice hotel overall, but I'm going to complain about "overly done" customer service. ever heard of that?
Well I experienced it for the first time at Angler's!
trust me, it gets annoying. These people would clean our room every 2 hours! So annoying! I spent 6 bucks on a glass water bottle that I planned on keeping as a souvenir cuz it said Miami on it and it was very pretty! THEY THREW AWAY MY BOTTLE because there was no water left in it!
Our personal possessions would all be moved around everytime we walked into our room. it got REALLY annoying.
the staff, although friendly, is sort of stalkerish. It seriously felt like no one else was staying at the hotel at the time.
Parking is a rip off: $24 a day "unlimited valet", and be ready to wait an average of 20-40 minutes for your car everytime you request it.
room is nice, shower is ok. my hair smelled like chicken from the "rosemary shampoo" lol so yeah take your own shampoo.. interior decor is great. restaurant has impressive food.
location is pretty central.
cheers

Chose this place for a Miami weekend getaway based upon rave reviews everywhere online.  Pictures of the facility looked just like the style I was looking for, and we were not disappointed.  We were greeted BY NAME right when our taxi pulled up to the front of the hotel.  The whole stay there was wonderful, and I have zero complaints.

The place is far enough away from Ocean Drive and all the clubs to avoid the crazy South Beach crowd, but close enough to walk to the beach in a few minutes.  We basically walked everywhere, even down to LIncoln Road.  We did take the bus once back from LIncoln Road just because we were tired and cranky from a long day.

Complimentary beach bag with towels and cold water really proved useful, and the staff was really accomodating.

I found my way to The Angler's for a baby shower. What a cute hotel. The staff is super friendly, the hotel is well-designed and the atmosphere is top-notch. The food is tasty, too. This is a great place to celebrate a small gathering for a birthday party, shower or little fete. If the rooms are as well-thought-out as the rest of the place, I'm sure it's a perfect stay.

This boutique hotel is perfect!  I wish I could capture with pictures how lovely this hotel was from the staff, to the service, to the location to the cleanliness it was all wonderful. Excellent location just 2 blocks off Ocean drive, with everything close by. The hotel was in a quiet area off the strip but close enough to walk to almost everywhere you wanted to be. There were cabs and buses readily accessible right in front of the hotel. The rooms are wonderful, spacious and perfect beds and offer everything you may need, including Ipod docking station, flat screen TV's etc. Yes the pool was small, but it was nice, it was like an oversized jacuzzi. It was definitely worth the extra money. Planning a trip soon to go back there again!

I loved the Anglers. I ended up staying twice, once for three days, and the second time for a week.

My first time, I stayed in one of the multilevel suites. Bottom floor was a plush livingroom/wet bar combo. Up the circular staircase was the bedroom and bathroom, and one floor up was a secluded rooftop deck. They need to put lounges and plants up on that deck, but the views were lovely.

The second time I got a 'studio' which was all of the amenities mentioned above, minus the roof deck. I far preferred the studio as lugging my furniture (not to mention my fat ass) up a circular staircase is a challenge!

Some sadistic prior tenant had programmed the TV to come on at 8am playing Sesame Street, but that is hardly the Angler's fault ;)

Each night, a sweet woman would come by for turndown service, fill up my ice bucket (a huge plus as I'm always forgetting to do that, and an ice-cold glass of water in the middle of the night is super refreshing), and leave behind a sheet of paper with the next day's weather forecast and two pieces of delicious cherry dark chocolate.

The bed was AMAZING both times. Pure fluffy joyous luxury... I really didn't want to get out of bed, but thanks to the Muppets, I was hoppin around right after 8am ;)

I told my company I didn't want to stay anywhere else. LOVED it.

Loved it! I visited shortly after it opened in Spring 2008. Ideally located near nightclubs and a 10 minute walk to the beach. The room was impressive - contemporary layout, and the courtesy bar was included in the price of the room!!!! The room also had an amazing AV system including surround for the TV. The restaurant on the 1st level is top shelf. The staff was extremely polite and helpful. I'm not a big fan of the resorts b/c you tend to get a watered down experience; at Angler's, I felt pampered but in a way that I could still enjoy the energy of the area.

Oh-so-close to five stars!

This is a lovely and nearly new boutique in Miami Beach.  The location is great, just at the edge of the action, so you can easily walk everywhere, but sleep in peace (with a caveat noted below).  You are just one block away from fabulous eats at Puerto Sagua.  The building itself is historic and stunningly gorgeous.  You look at it and go "woah, I am staying HERE?"

The service was fabulous, exceptionally personal.  The valet (there are no other easy choices for parking) was swift, and the bellman/registration guy grabbed our bags and immediately took us to our room--you check in at the room, not at a desk.  That was actually a nice touch.

The room itself was large, modern, full of soft, cozy furniture and incredible bedding.  Bathroom was all lovely marble, but just a shower, no tub, kind of a bummer.  Aveda bath products were great.  The room was well sound proofed--we were next to the elevator and could not hear a thing.  The front of the room faced the street, and the window coverings, when closed, shut all of this out.

The one issue is we were straight above the nightclub and restaurant.  Up until 10ish, we could hear a light noise, one which I disco napped through, no prob.  Being Miami, come 1030 pm, the party started, very loudly and with a horrible singer.  If you can't beat them, join them!  So we went down for our free (amazing) cocktail.  The food looked great, although we didn't try it, because they wouldn't serve it at the bar.  The scene was odd, though.  There was this mini fashion show of two models parading up and down the aisles, combined with a hip-hop belly dancer, who kept running in to the models.  This was just stupid.  I don't know when the chaos ended, but we left around 1130 pm, and when we returned at 1 am, the entire bar was closed, so issue over.

Overall, a sublime, memorable experience and worth return visits!  Viva Miami!

This is such a wonderful boutique hotel - I cannot say enough about it. In the past, I have stayed at the Ritz Carlton (which is also great - but big and more "resorty").  

A friend recommended the Anglers to me for a weekend trip with some girlfriends.  When we arrived, they checked us in at the room and we were greeted very warmly. The room we had was 2 double beds and a pull-out couch, a small balcony overlooking the pool and a nice seating area. Once we got the iPod player to work, it was nice to have our own music playing throughout the room and the soundproofing was great as our neighbors couldn't even hear it. We just had a shower stall and it would have been nice to have a tub too, but that's not a dealbreaker - and it would be nice to have more than one full-length mirror outside of the bathroom.  The staff was helpful and very friendly - it's a small staff so you end up being taken care of by the same people throughout the trip.  We had breakfast one morning and the kitchen was out of berries. We found out later that our waiter had gone to the market nearby to get berries because he knew how much I wanted them - very nice touch. The pool area is small but we didn't have a problem getting chairs - you do have to be cognizant of where you sit as part of it does get shaded later in the day. They offer a "beach bag" so you can go over to the beach just a couple of blocks away which we didn't take advantage of but would definitely do so next time.  We ate lunch and dinner one night and thought the food was great - tapas style and entrees.  I did bring my dog with me on the trip and it was perfectly pet friendly - a nice plus. And the other hotel guests were nice but definitely not a place for large families or those who are into being into a big scene like the Gansevoort or Shore Club.  

In summary - I highly recommend this to people who want to get away and stay somewhere comfortable and chill. It's in walking distance to the beach and great little restaurants and shops. Next time, I want to try a duplex for sure.
