About the goodtime hotel, Miami Beach, a Tribute Portfolio Hotel
The Goodtime Hotel on Washington Ave is Miami Beach's most bookable celebration-focused property — easy to reserve, visually striking, staffed for energy rather than quiet luxury. The pool is the centrepiece, the Tribute Portfolio flag means Marriott Bonvoy points apply. Best for special occasions and social trips; less suited to business travel or those wanting subdued service.
Worth Booking? The Verdict
The Goodtime Hotel sits at 601 Washington Ave in Miami Beach's South of Fifth neighbourhood, close enough to the beach and the energy of Collins Avenue without being swallowed by it. If you want a hotel that reads as a celebration in itself — strong visual identity, a pool scene worth showing up for, staff who lean into the party rather than merely managing it — this is a credible choice. Booking is easy; you won't need to plan months out the way you would for Fisher Island Club or compete for limited inventory. That accessibility makes it a practical first call for a special occasion trip to Miami Beach.
What You're Getting
The Goodtime Hotel is a Tribute Portfolio property, which means it sits inside Marriott's soft brand collection, design-forward hotels with their own identity rather than a standardised playbook. Visually, the hotel leans hard into a retro-tropical aesthetic: bold colour, curved lines, a pool area designed to be seen and photographed. For a special occasion, that visual backdrop matters. The pool is the centrepiece and the social heart of the property, the staff energy here is notably more engaged than at the more subdued options on the strip, such as Lennox Miami Beach.
Human element is a genuine differentiator. Service at the Goodtime is styled to match the hotel's personality, upbeat, attentive, oriented toward making a stay feel like an event. That approach works well for couples celebrating something or friend groups who want the experience to feel curated rather than transactional. It is less suited to business travellers who need quiet and discretion.

Compared to nearby alternatives at different price points, the polished calm of COMO Metropolitan Miami Beach or the heritage credentials of Cadillac Hotel & Beach Club, the Goodtime trades on atmosphere and energy more than on service depth or room quality. If those priorities align with your trip, it delivers. If you want quieter luxury, look elsewhere in the Miami Beach hotel set.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which room category is best at the Goodtime Hotel, Miami Beach?
As a Tribute Portfolio property, the Goodtime Hotel sits in Marriott's design-forward soft brand tier, which typically means rooms that lean on aesthetics over square footage. Upper-floor rooms or suites are generally the stronger pick at this address — the South of Fifth neighbourhood at 601 Washington Ave rewards height for light and distance from street noise. If you're booking a standard room expecting spaciousness, temper expectations; the design rooms here trade on style.
How is the dining at the Goodtime Hotel, Miami Beach?
The Goodtime Hotel's food and beverage programming leans into the Miami Beach lifestyle format rather than destination dining. For serious meals, South of Fifth and nearby South Beach have better standalone options within walking distance of 601 Washington Ave. Treat the on-site dining as convenient rather than a reason to book — it fits the hotel's social, pool-centric identity.
Is the Goodtime Hotel, Miami Beach good for business travel?
Not the obvious call for pure business travel. The Goodtime Hotel's design-forward, lifestyle-oriented positioning at 601 Washington Ave, Miami Beach makes it better suited to leisure stays or bleisure trips than heads-down corporate visits. If you need conference facilities or a quiet, low-distraction environment, Miami Beach broadly underserves that need — and the Goodtime Hotel is no exception.
How is the pool and spa at the Goodtime Hotel, Miami Beach?
The pool setup is the main event at the Goodtime Hotel — it is the social and visual centrepiece of the property, consistent with what Tribute Portfolio hotels deliver in resort-adjacent markets. Expect a scene rather than a retreat; if you want a quiet, spa-focused pool experience, this is not the right fit. For wellness-first stays in Miami Beach, alternatives like the Carillon Miami Wellness Resort are built around that purpose.

How It Compares
Against the closest competition on the strip, the Goodtime Hotel occupies a clear middle lane: more personality and energy than the The Plymouth South Beach or Lennox Miami Beach, but without the brand firepower or room depth of Nobu Hotel Miami Beach. If the name recognition and dining programme at Nobu matter to your group, the Goodtime won't replicate that. But if you're prioritising a strong pool scene, a staff culture that matches the celebratory mood, straightforward booking, the Goodtime is the easier, more accessible call.
Carillon Miami Wellness Resort and Fisher Island Club serve a fundamentally different guest. Carillon is for wellness-focused stays with serious spa programming; Fisher Island requires a ferry crossing and targets a private-membership tier of guest. Neither is a direct substitute for what the Goodtime offers. For value-conscious travellers who still want a designed, experience-led stay, the Goodtime is the stronger choice over those two for a standard Miami Beach visit.
Within Marriott's own ecosystem, the Goodtime's Tribute Portfolio positioning gives it an edge in character over flagged properties like AC Hotel Miami Beach, which runs cleaner and quieter but lacks the Goodtime's social infrastructure. For a celebratory trip where the hotel itself is part of the experience, the Goodtime is the most straightforward recommendation in its price tier on the beach.
