There are many events held at the restored Historic Hampton House. However, just being there walking the hallowed grounds where famous, and well to do African Americans called their vacation spot gives you a surreal feeling. It was during a time of segregation where entertainers and activists mingled, including the likes of Muhammad Ali, Aretha Franklin, Dr. King, Sammy Davis, Jr., and others, found refuge and fun in the South. It was here in this space where the magic happened. If you walk around and listen, you can almost hear their laughter, and their conversations in the silence. The Historic Hampton House is indeed a national treasure.

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.

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"

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…

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.
