Nautilus a Sixty Hotel, Miami Beach
Expert reviews
“The recently restored Nautilus, a Sixty Hotel, on Collins Avenue, was originally built in the 1950s by the neo-Baroque architect Morris Lapidus. Its contemporary lobby features nods to the era, with semicircular velvet sofas and gilded accents. Behind it is a saltwater pool with a garden leading straight to the beach.”
Featured in New York Times’ 36 Hours in Miami.
“Nautilus by Arlo, located in the heart of South Beach’s Art Deco district on Collins Avenue, flaunts plenty of retro appeal. It boasts a chic oceanfront pool with a walkway shaded by a canopy of bamboo trees, a breezy Mediterranean restaurant and white-washed rooms with mirrored walls and vintage trunks as minibars.”

Great location, but expected more based on price & reviews
Great location, saltwater pool and crossing the boardwalk, the hotel is right on the beach and your stay comes with 2 free beach beds.
The room was way below what we would have expected for a hotel (& price) like this and thought that espresso doesn’t come with breakfast, but costs $19,- for 2 is a bit pricey

Very good
The room was odd the way it was laid out, it was not a large size room, but big enough. The balcony was small but overlooked the pool and the ocean so that was nice. The pool was nice, it was cold, not heated, but the music was terrible, a lot of techno all the time, I mean better music would have gone a long way. The beach was close by and nice, the location was close to everything.
The room size, thought for the money it would be larger and better laid out. The pool although nice was like a lap pool, the water was cold, nice for summer only. The music at the pool was terrible, The hotel itself was nicely appointed and the location to the beach and to major attractions was good, lots of food choices nearby.

There was no breakfast buffet on the days that art Basel was over « because the hotel is too empty ». When I asked for a late check out (3pm instead of 12pm), even though the hotel is empty their best offer is 150€ which is the price of one room for one night !!! Absolutely crazy. The system to charge food on the rooms doesn’t work in the hotel restaurant so they insist to have us pay upfront at the restaurant each time even at breakfast. Service in the rooms : not great, mini bar was never replenished fully. When we arrived there were bottles of vodka that were empty in the bar and we had to pay for them. I’m very upset and will not be coming back.

Basel Art Miami
Service was good and staff very friendly. Checking in with Alexis was very smooth.
The dirty window took away from the beautiful view and was very annoying, since we paid almost $ 1000 a night. Room a bit small and bathroom tiny.

Good Hotel in Great Location
Service was fantastic, hotel was nice and location was great.
The hotel booked a private function on Saturday night so guests could not use poolside bar or the lobby bar.

Staff were friendly and inviting - great music played throughout that kept the energy upbeat and happy
Corridors too dark - one roll of toilet paper for family of 4 per day, no room should have less than 2 rolls.

Nautilus Sonesta hotel offers the true Miami Beach experience at a reasonable budget.
The hotel is in the nicest part of Miami Beach, close to the South Beach and the restaurants and yet far enought from it all.

Comfortable convenient and pleasant stay thank you
Hotel lobby decoration was good. Friendly staff, instant and helping staff each areas was very pretty
The corridor outside the lift walking towards the rooms was black, a different colour would be better

Nice Hotel
The hotel was beautiful inside specifically the bar area, the way to the restaurant and pool area. The staff at the lobby, restaurant and pool were gentle and kind. The food at the restaurant was delicious and we were given by courtesy 3 cocktails which was really cool. We were given a special attention when we checked in with a specific receptionist. The location of the hotel next to beach is fantastic and you can enjoy the service of beach chairs included with it. The hotel is pretty closed to the Ocean Drive by walking distance. My brother was allowed to bring his dog to the room without issues. We were allowed for a late check out up to 30 minutes later.
As we have 1 baby there was not a place where we could warm her food up - not even in the restaurant apparently. I think the size of the room was a bit small to have 2 double beds. The cleaning of the wrong was not good as one day they forgot to restore the toilet paper and it looks the floor had some dust and some things from the previous day without being removed. The water in the pool did not have the best temperature as I think it was a bit cold for our taste.

Location was great
I was extremely disappointed when we went to the beach cost of hiring an umbrella $25! Even worse, despite having a studio suite for 3 adults had to pay for a extra sunbed as only get 2 per room ???which seems so wrong 😕

Great location for Miami Beach Convention center and other Miami/South Beach attractions
Really liked the pool area and walk to the beach access, the hotel has very pretty grounds in the back. The rooms were spacious with very comfortable beds.
1 of the elevators was down the entirety of our stay and it was incredibly slow getting up and down to our room. The hotel could have done a better job of offering guests the stairs and keeping that option open, sometimes it was closed off since it was only reachable behind the lobby front desk.

Location was good
One of the staff members (lady on the beach) refused to speak to me in English but spoke to other guests in English. She was just being nasty.

I would stay again. The staff overall was really friendly. Great location.
The location was great! Loved being right on the beach. The area was busy but not overly crowded and not too noisy.
The room was small. The ice machine was broken. The front desk promised to bring ice up, it never came. This happened twice.

Just ok
Good location. Generally clean.
One elevator was broken. It took ages every time we’d like to go up or down. They tested the fire alarm EVERY DAY for hours. We booked a room for 3 and they only provided beach chairs for 2 and asked us to pay extra. When we complained, one of the managers, Jeremy, promised to refund the cost of the extra chair. Never happened. Other employees didn’t seem to find any notes.

Semi liked hotel
Hey guys, this is generally a great hotel but not fantastic. We came as a large group and actively swim in pools all over the world. The pool here needs better maintenance to handle all the sunblock used by patrons. All the kids got rashes. So parents beware. Sticking to the pool area, the facilities supervisor (red head female) was absolutely rude to our group when we requested an umbrella. Also check in the service/counter manager/supervisor was not kind at all to the assisted person travelling with us, and thus had us waiting an additional 30 mins, after traveling by plane to this location. There was no sense of being welcomed by this individual and we felt like we were bothering her. However you can tell here the vibe is off between management and the hard working team here. Beach access and location is 10 out of 10 here. This is a real review and not a bought one. ;)
The supervisors at the hotel.

This is the first time that I am visiting a hotel that, upon leaving the hotel (check out) , cannot issue an invoice or just to give a sheet to a person to see what his bill is.The deposit that he takes upon check-in has not yet been refunded to me, and it has been more than 10 working days.
