Quick Verdict: Hyatt Regency Miami vs The Betsy South Beach

When Hyatt Regency Miami wins: choose Hyatt when you need large meeting or event space, direct access to the James L. Knight Center and free Metromover, or when you want a roomy downtown hotel with a heated outdoor pool and 24-hour fitness.

When The Betsy South Beach wins: pick The Betsy for an Ocean Drive location, beachfront proximity, boutique rooms (about 130 individually decorated guestrooms), on-site spa services and two outdoor pools in a smaller, quieter setting focused on South Beach culture.
