Concierge "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."

"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

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

"The stunning 312-room W South Beach... blends cute comforts, intricate design (that spares no expense), and flawless service." Full review
Travel + Leisure "Miami's first W property is a major departure for the brand: all 408 spacious residences have a French bohemian aesthetic, and are done in various shades of white and gray." Full review
Star Service "It is part conference center, part nightclub, with everything but the gym and accommodations contributing to its dichotomous existence. " Full review
Gayot "Built on a colorful stretch of South Beach, this contemporary hotel has much to offer."
BlackBook "W brings successful brand of mega-boutiquery to South Beach, replacing usual chrome and dark finishes with de rigueur Miami blinding whites and big beachy views."
Zagat4.2
"A "sexy clientele" looking to "feel like a rock star" patronizes this "cool" "hot spot" with a "very flashy" SoBe atmosphere."
Afar Magazine "The hotel's common spaces include the lobby and the Living Room bar, featuring incredibly high ceilings, tall and wide walls, and a rotating selection of large-scale contemporary art pieces." Full review
Wallpaper "Bold slashes of white, including a handmade shag rug in the living room, mother of pearl wallpaper in the guest bathroom, and a glossy lacquered dining table flanked by white leather chairs." Full review
