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.”

Will be back -
The nautilus is a classic. The location, the pool area, the lobby make it a good choice for the price. It is stylish and in my opinion one of the best in the area.
My only comment is that it used to look better and be fresher. The hotel is starting to be a bit run down, sadly. The lobby still smells nice and the pool area is still nice, but the vinyle elevator floors just don’t work. A few simply yet important cosmetic improvements and fixes are absolutely necessary. It is not what it used to be, but it could be easily. The staff used to wear stripes tshirts that made the whole hotel so iconic. It is a shame this is no longer happening. It was part of the aesthetic and style in my opinion.

Staff wasn’t so much helpful accept the receptionist on the check in. I Had to beg/ remind the room cleaning

Overall a nice facility, but the pricing policy should be changed. Construction works just nearby.
The location is super convenient - close to the restaurants and top hotels on the South Beach. Has its own beach and pool. Mike the bartender in the lobby bar is a pearl of the facility) real professional
Though the accommodation price seems fair, all extras are super expensive. That doesn’t feel right. The space around the pool was not sufficient for all guests. Especially during weekend.

Great spot, gorgeous pool area!
Great location, welcoming and friendly staff, beautiful pool area, conveniently located on the beach!
Rooms looked better online but overall happy with our stay

Had higher hopes but did the job
We evacuated Tampa last minute the night before hurricane Milton and needed a pet friendly hotel in Miami. Sonesta fit the bill and did the job at such short notice.
The AC was too loud in the room, the room entrance light was really hard to switch off (had a very unique switch). The white floors made the room feel very dirty very quickly, especially with a dog with us. Feels more like a 3 star than a 4 star hotel.

Decent stay but not value for money
Location and accessibility to the beach and Lincoln street
The floor lobby was very dark and didn’t have a vibe. Also the room floor was not at all clean and felt very oily and slippery
21 October 2024
The front desk staff were awesome and so kind. If they deep cleaned the whole place would say Id stay there again!
We couldnt use the beach bc of the weather but if we could have the beach is a very short walk from hotel!
Our room/ hallways/ lobby area/ lobby bathrooms/ pool area could definitely use a deep clean. The pool loungers need to be thrown out and replaced.

Building site next door. Expensive car parking. $50 per day.

Nice hospitality at Nautilus
Their staff was friendly and helpful.My friend was staying in a nearby 5 star hotel he didn't satifyied with the hotel services and came to Nautilus to have breakfast, coffee etc to enjoy service and environment. Daily complimentary bottled waters in the room and small coffee shop at lobby to buy snacks and sandwiches another plus.
Air condition in my room was noisy.I turned it of when I was slepping so didn't effect me.I hope they can manage this issue.

Friendly staff and great location to Miami boardwalk and all the shops and food. Hotel was clean.
Barely any rooms have a view of the water. A lot of noisy neighbors. The shape of the building and the one next to it cause a loud wind vortex between the buildings. A little over priced.

Good hotel ruined by a thirst for nickel and diming.
Good location and a nice pool. Decent lobby bar and staff friendly.
Charging guests for a seat on the beach. Not done by other hotels at this price. General sense that everything was an additional charge. I was even told I could not bring a coffee to the pool despite I bought it from the hotel lobby. They said it had to be purchased at the pool bar. Very poor focus on customers experience compared to its competitors I’ve stayed at on the south Beach.

The staff is really nice. The location is great walking distance to many shops and restaurants and only 20 minute Uber r
Staff was extremely nice and cocktails were really good and the location is awesome
There is nothing that I didn't like besides the constructions that were happening on both sides that was very disappointing and that's not their fault because it's not in their hotel but the constructions on the sides took away from the experience and it was really loud during the day while we are at the pool

Very good but expensive
Excellent location with plenty of bars, restaurants, and shops nearby. The beach right in front is great! The bed and pillows are very comfortable, and the shower is excellent. The front desk staff, parking, breakfast, and pool services were all good.
The listing says the hotel provides free bikes, but that's not true. They showed us two old, broken bikes, which was very disappointing. The breakfast was good, but I expected more options from a 5-star hotel. The room had poor lighting, which really bothered my girlfriend when she was doing her makeup. The beach service was okay, but a bit slow, and the umbrella rental was very expensive. The parking was also very expensive.

Fair except the security deposit
Clean Nice neighborhood
Security deposit is too high 300 USD just for two days and takes up to 30 days to be refunded . Parking is 45 USD /day

The location on the beach and the staff are great.
The room is just weird. The bed is in the middle of the room with huge desk attached to its back, with suitcases there is no place to move in the room. The bathroom is very small, the shower drain worked only whenever it wanted. The water pressure is a joke. The floor was very very very slippery and wasn't clean at all. We had dust on the bottom of our shoes. The breakfast buffet is only fine. Not good, not bad, just fine. No vegetables at all and overall there weren't too much options

Family friendly resort with really personable staff,
The friendly staff and thoughtful gestures was the biggest plus.
The room was small and not appealing. There was construction right next door which was our view. Not much can be done about that but having that view and small room with a sqeeky bed made it bit lackluster.

Very good
The location is great and right on the beach. It has a nice pool and beach access. The sunbeds on the beach are free (or included in your destination fee) but you have to pay for the umbrella. The hotel has F&B service on the beach so you can easily enjoy the whole day on the beach. The rooms are nice and simple decorated and there is no shortage of towels and beach / pool towels. Walking distance to South Beach and Lincoln road. If you book without breakfast, there is a little coffee and croissant place in the lobby where you can have a bite if you are not into a full breakfast but prefer just a coffee. Staff is very friendly and helpful!
The doors in the hallways of the rooms make lots of noise when closing so during the evening when one wants to sleep, it can be a little noisy. Also, there are hotel construction ongoing left and right of the hotel. However, there was not a lot of noise from it when we were there but it is not a nice view when you look out of your window.

Nice and pleasant
Nice property, well located, close to the beach and to restaurant. It is quite clean.
They are renovating some part of the hotel and there was a lot of noise coming from the works.

It was located quite nicely on the beach. The bar was quite nice and Lucas was one of the great bartenders to be around.
Firstly, the room was very crowded for our party. The bathroom was the smallest I have seen in our holiday. For a 5 star hotel, it was way overrated. There was no soundproofing, constant noise from some sort of machine, you could hear people from above, below, next door and hallway. The pool was small for the size of the hotel.
6 August 2024
Pretty good hotel, would return.
Very friendly, helpful staff. Comfy bed. Good location - walking distance to bars and restaurants etc. The beach is perfect.
The bedroom floors and pool weren't the cleanest. The bar/ poolside food is very average quality and overpriced.

Okay hotel with great location, but not good value for money.
The location of the hotel is great. It's very nice to have beachfront access and a nice pool area. The pool and beach chairs are included for guests, but note that beach umbrellas come at an extra cost of $25.
The room had a very odd layout - bed in the middle of the room and hardly any surfaces in the room or bathroom (not even end tables on the sides of the bed). Housekeeping forgot basic things - shower wasn't fully cleaned (saw sand and hair for the entirety of the stay), had to call to get our complimentary water, toilet paper, and bath towels as everything had run out or been removed and nothing put back in. The food at the beach/pool is expensive and portions are tiny ($25 for a shrimp cocktail that had 5 shrimp). Beach umbrellas come at an extra cost of $25. Had an unpleasant experience with on-site restaurant staff because we were sitting and having a snack in what we thought was outside the restaurant area - some couches outside, literally on the other side of the eating area dividers. We were told that "the owner was watching" instead of simply being politely asked to move or even offered a drink menu so we could continue hanging out there. Overall, the hotel looks like it could use some upkeep and remodeling. There is unfortunately construction happening on either side of the hotel, so it can get very loud by the pool with unpleasant noises.

Enjoyed the location of the hotel, beach, buffet breakfast. Staff was very helpfull. Rooms aren't very big but comfortable enough.
One elevater from the lobby wasn't working during our stay. Swimming pool wasn't really chilled. The hotel next door is being completely renovated therefore on some days we felt like on the construction site.

Decent hotel to stay for the first time in Miami. Would not recommend more than 2 days for the price and facilities.
The king suite room was big and spacious. Good location. Short walk from Lincoln road (8mins), Ocean drive(12 mins) and Miami beach (5mins). Pool was good. Towels were provided at pool area. Hotel manager who was an Indian was very kind and welcoming. Hotel bell boy was really helpful and friendly.
The lift took forever to come from any floor. The second lift was under repair for a long time. Most of the time spent waiting for the lift, which was annoying. No amenities provided in the bathroom. Anything called for in the room took sooo long.

The view and location are fantastic. Every member of the staff was very helpful. But we would like to highlight Isaac, from the beach club, Nina from the cleaning services and Paolla from de pool bar. They helped our stay to be very pleasant.
27 July 2024
Was fine but with all the construction going on I wouldn’t come back
The staff were great. Especially Issac on the beach and I think his name was Pro at front desk.
There was construction on either side of the property so all day there was hammering and drilling. It made the pool days terrible and not relaxing. I know it’s not the hotels fault but still paying $49 resort fees felt like a kick in the teeth. Also $12 for a Celcuis from the coffee cart is beyond disgusting. So expensive. Go elsewhere if you want to eat or drink.

Great beach access!!!
the beach access and chairs are amazing, the staff working on the beach is some of the best!! they came around every hour and adjusted our umbrella so i didn't get sunburnt, which as a pale person as so nice! the location is also ideal if you want a little bit of south beach but also want a calm experience!
the rooms are a bit sterile but its clean and we spent all day at the beach so it didn't matter. the elevator was broken so we took the stairs we were on the second floor so it wasn't a big deal. paying $25 for a mojito on the beach is pretty high but i think its the same everywhere

Very good
The rooms were spacious and clean, the beds were comfortable, and the staff friendly and helpful. The meal portions are big and the food is delicious. The hotel was properly cooled and well maintained.
One elevator out of order resulted in very long waiting times for the remaining elevator. The shower floors are dangerously slippery. There were no bicycles available, contrary to what was offered. Also, later in the day, there weren't any pool / swimming towels available. Slow service in the restaurant (in the evening) - supposedly due to a staff shortage - resulting in extremely long waiting time for drinks and service.

My stayI was thinking of buying a house in mimia or condo
The breakfast was a little too expense I bought food out me and my girlfriend
Some free breakfast

Overall, my stay was pretty good mainly because the staff went over and above with their service. They were always helpf
The pools and convenient 24 hr beach access. The two bars and the comfortable meeting areas
The halls were eerily dark and uninviting. The floors were not as clean with noticeable dirt and dust on the hard wood. One of the elevators never worked the entire stay, making the wait really long as more guests arrived for the weekend.
