"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
"The Catalina takes the value-added approach to South Beach nightlife and succeeds without feeling cheap or cheesy." Full review
"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.
"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
"It is actually, as its budget prices suggest, across Collins Avenue from this uptown Sobe strip's ultra-upscale oceanfront hotels."
"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."
"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
"Tendy hipster art deco hotel without the trendy hipster prices."
"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

"New York hipster Jonathan Morr felt that Miami Beach had lost touch with the bons vivants who gave the city its original cachet, so he decided to take matters into his own hands." Full review
"The 67 minimalist rooms may be small, but they've been impeccably designed by India Mahdavi with comfy white beds and chocolate-colored sofas."
"You’d think the Townhouse was designed by the guy who styled the iPod." Full review
Mid-Range
"Located right on the beach, the Townhouse offers bright, stylish rooms, but little else." Full review
"A shabby chic hotel that is more chic than shabby, the Townhouse is quirky with exercise equipment in the hallways, free L-shaped couches for guests, and clean, simple decor."
Star
"From the small but beautifully designed white rooms to the chatty, cheerful staff and the relaxing roof deck filled with cushy chaise loungers, this boutique hotel aims to please."
"This small boutique hotel is a first-rate knock-off. It was opened in 2000 by Jonathan Morr, and the Starck-Schrager influence is obvious." Full review
"The upscale beach house decor by New York interior designer India Mahdavi emphasizes modern white furnishings accented by striking red decor... and signature curvy couches."
"In the boutique division of hotels, handy to the lavish Shore Club, is the very modern and very red-and-white Townhouse."
7.0
"A laid-back retreat outfitted in stark white with pops of red." Full review
