Liberty Park Hotel (Formerly South Beach Hotel)

Liberty Park Hotel is the current name for the former South Beach Hotel at 236 21st Street in Miami Beach. The 1939 Collins Park property has been refreshed with a coastal, Art Deco-minded look, but its practical appeal is still the same: it sits one block from the sand, across from the Bass area, and within an easy walk of Collins Avenue and Lincoln Road.

For travelers who know the former name, this is the same hotel now operating as Liberty Park Hotel. It suits visitors who want a smaller South Beach base with beach time, a pool option, and a quieter Collins Park setting rather than an Ocean Drive nightlife address.

Why Liberty Park Hotel stands out in Collins Park

The location is the deciding feature. Collins Park puts guests close to the beach and the Bass while remaining north of the busiest Ocean Drive blocks. The hotel also keeps the historic scale of a 1939 property designed by Henry Hohauser, with newly renovated rooms and common spaces that lean into a lighter, contemporary coastal look.

Rooms: choose for beds, view, or extra living space

The room lineup includes Standard King and Standard Double Queen options, Deluxe Park View King and Double rooms, and Junior Suites with park views or extra seating. The junior-suite layouts are the practical choice for travelers who value a sofa and more room to spread out, while the double-queen and double-room categories better fit friends or families sharing a stay. Accessible Standard King and Double Queen rooms are also available.

Across the range, the hotel lists free Wi-Fi, a minibar, work desk, coffee setup, in-room safe, air conditioning, non-smoking rooms, and private bathrooms. Some room categories also list robes and rain showers. Confirm the exact room configuration during booking, especially when bed count or a park view matters to your trip.

Beach access, rooftop pool, and fitness

Liberty Park’s reserved beach area is one block away between The W and The Setai. Each reservation includes two beach chairs and towels, and the hotel provides golf-cart transport to and from the sand. That makes a beach morning straightforward without carrying your own setup through the neighborhood.

For pool time, guests use the rooftop pool and bar deck shared with the adjacent Boulan South Beach property. The fitness center is also at Boulan, with free weights, a treadmill, and a stationary bike. These shared facilities are useful additions, but travelers who want every amenity inside the same building should factor that setup into the booking decision.

Dining and the easy parts of the day

Dining options around the hotel include Bella, the Italian restaurant at Liberty Park Hotel, plus Orange Blossom, Blue Ribbon Sushi Bar & Grill, and Seasons Cafe nearby. Orange Blossom lists breakfast from 8 to 11 AM, lunch from 11 AM to 3 PM, happy hour Sunday through Thursday from 4 to 6 PM, and dinner until 10 PM. Seasons Cafe is a convenient coffee, sandwich, and snack stop before the beach.

Before you book

Plan around a 4 PM check-in and 11 AM checkout. Liberty Park Hotel’s reservations team can confirm the current room rate, parking arrangements, accessible-room availability, beach-service details, and any package terms before you finalize. Use the current Liberty Park Hotel contact details rather than the former South Beach Hotel information.

Bottom line

Liberty Park Hotel is a solid fit for guests who want an updated boutique stay near Collins Park with beach chairs, a rooftop-pool option, and a broad room mix. It is especially useful for travelers searching the former South Beach Hotel name who want to confirm where the property went and what the current stay includes.
