"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."

Time Out

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

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

"The hammam and sauna provide sybaritic pleasure, even if swimsuits dampen the vibe somewhat: Ask the attendant to run a bath for you in one of the steel soaking tubs in the main room."
Fodor's
"An extension of André Balazs's trendy and hip yet budget-conscious hotel chain, the shabby-chic Standard is a mile from South Beach on an island just over the Venetian Causeway." Full review

"The blissfully remote, adults-only (14 ) Standard is about a mile from the beach, but it's still passionately hip." Full review
Time Out
"Combining blond wood walls and white linens, the cabin-like spaces are simply and classy, some with outdoor clawfoot tubs." Full review
Star Service
"This trendy spa hotel from Andres Balazs is operating at full steam." Full review
Gayot
"Taking over the old Lido Spa, this property aspires to revive (and redefine) bathhouse culture."
BlackBook
"Riding on the global "bathhouse" trend, tucked away from the cramped center of South Beach."
Frommer's
"The quintessential spa resort, the Standard... is housed in Miami Beach's legendary Lido Spa spot, a place that was swinging back in the days when women still wore bathing caps." Full review
Afar Magazine
"The Miami outpost of a hotel brand better known for its Los Angeles and New York properties, the Standard eschews the social scene and party vibe, instead focusing on wellness and health." Full review

"Not your grandma's bingo, but you might lose bowel control."
