What guests think

At Hotel St. Michel, guests highlight historic charm, friendly service, and a prime Coral Gables location, while noting compact rooms, a unique staff-operated vintage elevator, and off-site paid parking that can be inconvenient.

Rooms are comfortable and recently updated, with modern bathrooms and classic decor, though traffic or hallway noise affects some, especially near the alley or elevator. Cleanliness and upkeep receive frequent praise, and staff are often described as friendly, accommodating, and efficient at check-in. Zucca, the on-site Italian restaurant, is a recurring highlight, but breakfast is minimal or not provided. Expect a charming, boutique stay focused on location and service over amenities.

Amazing staff and comfortable hotel. The lift is traditional and can only be operated by staff, however they are very quick to respond when the lift is called/required.

Very nice little place with a lot of history. Rooms were excellent. No pool or jacuzzi, but you can't have everything in a historic building. I would definitely go back again

We LOVED our stay here! The staff were so kind and helpful. Room was clean and comfortable. It has vintage casement windows you can open to overlook the city, our shower even had one which I loved! My favorite part was the elevator (lol) it is a manual crank elevator built in the 1920s, super, super cool experience. A staff member does have to work the elevator so if you can’t find them at the front desk they may be doing that. Stairs are an option too if there’s a line. Overall had an amazing stay and definitely plan to return!

This is a nice little remodeled historic hotel. The elevator is manual, so the young lady checking me in had to take me to the 3rd floor. It was a great value and the attached restaurant is very nice. If you want a gym and pool this is not the place, but if you want a reasonable stay close to tons of restaurants this is it.

The parking is not convenient. It needs improvement. The only overnight parking is the parking garage across the street. Not having any on site parking is very strange and unheard of. There isn’t even any “loading and unloading area for luggage which I found inconvenient if having to make multiple trips. Plus the cost is $21 to park overnight! The hotel should reimburse this since you are already paying for a room!!

Hotel St. Michel is an old world charmer. Updated yet still maintaining the integrity of an elegant boutique hotel. Interesting feature - the city's oldest manual elevator. The Zucca Restaurant is outstanding dining. There are many more restaurants and plenty of shopping in walking distance. Staff is welcoming and helpful. Will stay here again!

It's in the heart of Coral Gables, with many restaurant options. It's about 20 minutes to the airport (that's with traffic). It's a 1920's circa hotel with it's own charm. The furniture definitely could use an upgrade. I was NOT happy with the house cleaning during our stay! They did not clean our room or empty our garbage.

I had stayed at this hotel about 2 years ago. Numerous times. I did not find it as nice as it was then…. Cleanliness fair. Bathroom needed cleaning. Hair dryer broken. Carpet in hallways old! We checked in and given a room right in front of the old noisy elevator! Very small room. Dark. Not at all like the rooms I had previously.

This is a nicely renovated old building a few blocks north of Miracle Mile. Plenty of restaurants are walking distance. It is also a short drive from the airport. The building features an extremely cool, very old elevator--one of those elevators you've seen in movies from the 1920s and 30s. Note that sound proofing in this hotel is a weakness and the noise from the hallway can be a nuisance.

Quoted a much cheaper price when I booked. No one at desk at check in - -- there was sign stating will be right back and if need assistance with phone number...I waited for ten minutes then called #, the phone rang on the unattended desk. Other customers came in and we waited--other customers got assistance from restaurant staff-whom rang bell a lot and loud. Girl finally came. I asked for elevator but she said she had to help with it but obviously wanted me to wait while she checked in the other customers. I just dragged my bag up stairs. Key for door wouldn't work--had to go down to desk and wait again as she was no longer there--another 10 min wait. She couldn't get key to work either --5 sets of keys later and on third different room, I got in. I could not lock my door when I left as it was difficult to open lock. By the time I got down to check out the restaurant, the kitchen was closed These accommodations are nice but definitely not worth cost or the frustration

Loved my stay at the Hotel St. Michel! The room and hotel were clean and very pretty. The staff was friendly (they let me check in a little earlier and even changed my room, so I had a better view). The location is great, with many shops and restaurants in walkable distance. The parking is a bit expensive; it was more cost effective to use valet, and they were very helpful. I would book here again!

This hotel offers a delightful and appealing experience. Its prime location provides convenient access to the Miracle Mile, various shopping destinations, and dining establishments. Zucca, an Italian restaurant, is conveniently situated at the hotel's entrance. The establishment maintains a high standard of cleanliness and tranquility. While on-site parking is unavailable, valet services are provided, along with nearby parking garage and street parking options. The staff consistently delivers exceptional and welcoming service. I anticipate returning for future stays.

I love old hotels! And while this one was almost 100 years old, it did not feel like it except in the original 1926 hand operated elevator. The staff was wonderful, fetching an umbrella when we were headed out in a terrible rain storm. And we were safe and comfortable. Zucca, the first floor restaurant, OMG, so amazing!

I Love that this hotel is very French. They have the old time elevator where you have to close the gate, the key for the room was an original brass key that you put in the old fashioned door lock and turn, the room was so clean, no carpeting just nice hardwood floors, the bed was so comfortable, the tub and shower were all marble and oversize, they gave you these cute robes, I had a wonderful stay! BTW I went to the Italian Restaurant Zucca down stairs to eat (it was packed with ppl), the food was good (but not great like I expected) and very overpriced.
