Frommer's "Although you won't find ubiquitous Hilton heiresses Paris and Nicky at this business-oriented hotel... you will find luxury-lovers who have no interest in minimalism or celebrity spottings." Full review
Lonely Planet "Don’t be ashamed Conrad: you’re a credit to the genre, from the 25th-floor power-broker sky lobby to a location in the heart of Brickell’s flash and finance." Full review

"Taking up 17 floors of a 36-story downtown skyscraper, this Hilton luxury offshoot has some swanky touches." Full review
DK Eyewitness "Located within Miami’s business district, this luxurious high-end Hilton, a 36-floor skyscraper, mainly caters for business people."
Time Out "The Conrad, an iconic skyscraper, is certainly chic. The streamlined glass and steel architecture, by Bermello Ajamil, will please modernists." Full review

Frommer's "A victory for Ocean Drive, a street that hasn't seen such a swank stay since the Tides, Hotel Victor, managed by Hyatt, is a hyperluxe, 88-room boutique see-and-be-seen hotel." Full review

"With eccentric furniture, a jellyfish aquarium and a coed, clothing-optional hammam, the Victor packs sexy glamour into a small Ocean Drive boutique." Full review
Travel + Leisure "The L. Murray Dixon–built Hotel Victor has been restored in high sybaritic fashion by celebrated French designer Jacques Garcia." Full review
DK Eyewitness "The most fabulous thing to hit Ocean Drive since Versace, this Art Deco boutique hotel was designed by Jacques Garcia of Paris’s hip Hotel Costes fame."
Rough Guide "This lavish hotel designed by hotelier Jacques Garcia is in the style of a clubby, Ibiza-style spot, complete with in-residence DJs spinning weeknights until midnight."
Time Out "Adjacent to the Versace Mansion, the Victor is every bit as rich and opulent as the designer label itself." Full review
Star Service "Located in the heart of the action, across Ocean Drive from the beach, this unique hotel has a lot of truth in its name; since reopening in 2003, it has become a top pick in South Beach." Full review
Gayot "Adding to Miami's reputation as a hip hotel mecca, Hotel Victor blends South Beach Art Deco and Parisian styles."
BlackBook "When your neighbor is Versace's Casa Casuarina, you have to do something special to get attention."
