"This venerable Deco hotel has gone through an identity crisis over the past few years, but we think it may be over." Full review
Insight Guides
"Understated stylishness is the hallmark of this trendy Art Deco hotel. Bedrooms - mostly suites - and their wall-to-wall marble bathrooms come in muted creams and beiges."
Travel + Leisure
"This Art Deco hotel in South Beach is just two blocks from the famed Ocean Drive and the beach." Full review
DK Eyewitness
"Chic, comfortable Asto offers small, yet soothing, rooms with Frette linens, mood lighting, and snug mattresses."
Time Out
"The intimate lobby is softly illuminated and decorated in sandy hues, while the elegant bedrooms boast European king-size beds, imported cotton sheets and fleecy robes in the marble bathrooms." Full review
Star Service
"This hotel is one the neighborhood's showplaces for travelers in search of understated South Beach elegance." Full review
Gayot
"Built in 1936, this 40-room hotel was completely refurbished in 2002. It has retained many of its original Art Deco elements such as terrazzo floors and aluminum fixtures."
BlackBook
"Deco standout that's chic and cozy at the same time. The lighting is very flattering as are the rooms with Frette linens and towels that are hard not to throw in your knock-off Birkin bag."

Jetsetter
"A vintage-inspired 1930s retreat near the heart of South Beach, with beach towels and loaner bikes." Full review

"The Catalina is a rock 'n' roll mod fantasy: There's red shag carpeting everywhere, curvy white furniture, and thumping music in the lobbies and out by the pool."

Upper-middle-range
"Designed for randy 20-somethings who can rage until 4 a.m., the Catalina can be a godsend." Full review
Travel + Leisure
"The Catalina takes the value-added approach to South Beach nightlife and succeeds without feeling cheap or cheesy." Full review
Time Out
"The flagship boutique of the South Beach Group, the Catalina is fun, trendy and affordable, if a bit rough around the edges." Full review

Ask for a quiet room if you don't like a party.
Star Service
"The location here, across the beach from the Marseilles and kitty-corner from the Delano and SLS, is about as close to the heat as you can get without having your hand in the fire." Full review
Gayot
"It is actually, as its budget prices suggest, across Collins Avenue from this uptown Sobe strip's ultra-upscale oceanfront hotels."
BlackBook
"Here is where you stay if you want to do all the chic hotel bar-hopping at the Delano, Shore Club, et. al, but would rather not pay to stay there."
Fodor's
"The Catalina is the budget party spot in the heart of South Beach's hottest block and attracts plenty of 20somethings with its free nightly drink hour." Full review
Not For Tourists
"Tendy hipster art deco hotel without the trendy hipster prices."
Afar Magazine
"As for the cost, it’s the perks that make the Catalina worth the price tag, which is reasonable compared to its oceanfront neighbors." Full review
