    An incredible link to Miami history right here in Miami. The staff is so kind and knowledgable and accomodating, so be sure to say hello and ask questions and you'll definitely leave inspired and with new friends! I had the good fortune of visiting on a night when Zynzelay gave a soulful performance in her tribute to Abbey Lincoln. Not only was the music world class, but I'm now inspired to learn more about Abbey. The facility and its many exhibits will cause you to reflect a great deal on our social history and the meaning of life and make you want to contribute a great deal more to the social fabric of our nation. Thanks to all who hosted us and made a night of entertainment a great learning experience and renewed my faith in the power of hope and faith and friendship. #zynzelay

    This was one of the best experiences ever. They have done an amazing job keeping the property up. We got to see several rooms where Martin Luther King stayed as well as Muhammad Ali & Malcom X & many more! It was so very clean & well put together! You have to go see Ms. La Cris is Fowlkes… she’s so sweet and so very nice! Thank you so much h for your time and showing us around! It was definitely a honor! 🙏🏾♥️🙏🏾

    This place is wonderful. the tour guided by Edwin makes you feel as if you were there when this historic hotel was visited by all the who is who of black Hollywood... former guest include, Martin Luther King, Malcolm X , Mohammed Ali, just to name a few.. it is an essential part of black history that we all should experience.

    I almost cried 8 times as I walked the halls of this historic landmark! The rich history of that place permeates from the ground up. I could almost hear the sounds and conversations had here. This is a glimpse into what black Miami royalty looks like!

    Such an interesting place to visit. Hampton House, a former Green Book hotel where so many icons once stayed—from Aretha Franklin to Billie Holiday to MLK and Muhammed Ali. Go see the room where MLK stayed —outfitted with a side door in case he needed a quick escape. Haunting history getting preserved and examined afresh here…

    An important slice of Miami's history! Be sure to reserve a guided tour and try to catch the play that inspired the movie, "One Night in Miami"

    Love this place. Starting with the architecture and followed by the history of this Hotel / Motel of an era where black and white folks were legally separated. The best have stayed here. Malcom C, Muhammad Ali, James Brown or Mr. King. They have all been there and it’s worth visiting the “gimme shelter” exhibition. The only place that didn’t make the cut is the “theater “ part of the building. It has been renovated with a flair of a moser day train station. It’s a shame they couldn’t keep the original glamour of the place. It’s as cozy as an emergency room of a university hospital. Other than that. Go visit it in the morning when it’s lit up by the morning sun. It’s a really pretty sight.

    The weather was perfect. We had superior seats. Chaka Khan was fabulous. The outdoor decor was amazing. Everyone connected with the production from arrival to exiting was professional and extremely helpful. Not sure about dinner, definitely the worst rack of lamb ever. 5 out of 6 is not bad. I can't hold the HH responsible for visiting chefs. Glad I went, always wanted to see my home girl!

    An important piece of history, this is Miami’s only Greenbook hotel that’s still standing. Edwin was a wonderful and very knowledgeable tour guide.

    Amazing staff. They knew and shared lots of history and information. Photographs (that you can't find online or anywhere else) are amazing to see. Well worth the price of the tour.

    Celebrated my 50 year Golden Anniversary there on 6.19.21. It was fabulous! The only complaint is that the air conditioning could have been cooler. Great place to have functions!

    The Greatest Weekend at the Historic Hampton House was a huge success. The first act of the play by Keith Wade was previewed. Look for The Last Sun of the Hampton House in May.

  • 1/5 Cheryl C. 2 years ago on Google
    The sad part about this all is, the unprofessionalizm. Especially during a trying time as such, "My Sister's" Repast. From beginning to end. Sometimes...just Sometimes the apologies are not sufficient to accommodate the repeated mishaps. I try hard to support BLACK BUSINESSES, but I promise it is the very unprofessional, attitudes of the people trusted to care for our businesses and customers, where we seem to always fall short. I had two people inquire info. on the hall on Saturday for their own future events, I now have to respond informing both that this hall is definitely NOT a recommendation to anyone I am affiliated with due to the shame, discuss, and horrific experience my family has had to encounter here. So at this point, let me apologize for even deciding to use this facility. Cheryl Cosmey

    What a splendid experience at the Hampton House. I am deeply moved by the poignant history that really touches every viewer in its own unique way. The Museum has been saved from the wrecking balk and in its reformatted state represents a bridge between pre and post civil rights and society in America and abroad. Honored to experience this place and the exhibitions were fantastic and relevant. All of the community should experience this place as it belongs to all of us.
