Quick Verdict: 1 Hotel South Beach vs The Ritz-Carlton, South Beach

When 1 Hotel South Beach wins: choose 1 Hotel if you prioritize a contemporary, sustainability-minded property with multiple pool options (including a large adults-only rooftop pool), a strong wellness program (Bamford Spa and group fitness), and varied, trend-forward dining.

When The Ritz-Carlton, South Beach wins: pick The Ritz-Carlton for a more classic, formal luxury stay — consistent Ritz-Carlton service, a single main pool and hot tub, an on-site spa, and a central location steps from Lincoln Road and the Boardwalk.

Bottom line: both are five-star beachfront hotels on Miami Beach. 1 Hotel skews modern, wellness-oriented, and social; The Ritz-Carlton skews traditional, polished, and conference- and service-focused. Your choice depends on whether you want an eco-wellness vibe or a conventional luxury resort experience.
