"Deciding between the hyperluxe Mandarin Oriental and the equally luxe, albeit somewhat museumlike, Four Seasons is almost like trying to tell the difference between Ava and Zsa Zsa Gabor." Full review

"Once you get upstairs to the real hotel entrance, you find an art lover's nirvana, particularly if you like the voluptuous statues of Fernando Botero."
Fodor's
"A favorite of business travelers visiting downtown's busy, business-centric Brickell Avenue, this plush sanctuary offers a respite from the nine-to-five mayhem." Full review
DK Eyewitness
"A skyscraper in the heart of the business district, this hotel is especially favored by jet-setters and celebs."

"There are over two hundred polished chambers at this skyline-defining business hotel perched beside the waters of Biscayne Bay."
Time Out
"A high-flyer (70 storeys) in the Downtown financial district, the Four Seasons could be mistaken for an office building. But beyond the façade and the utilitarian lower lobby, it's pure palatial chic." Full review
Star Service
"Superior and deluxe rooms face the city, and premier rooms overlook the bay. Corner suites feature outer connecting doors and an additional half-bath. Connecting rooms are available." Full review
Gayot
"Attractions inside the 70-story glass-and-granite tower include an 80-foot wall of water, two-acre terrace with three swimming pools and the 40,000-square-foot The Sports Club/LA."
BlackBook
"Soaring 70 stories above Biscayne Bay, it's the tallest building south of Atlanta. Exterior is über minimalist. Interior is five-star opulence."
