"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."

"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

Concierge "Now that it's strictly Schrager-free, the legendarily beautiful but snooty staffers have retained their model-good looks but lost most of the attitude."
Travel + Leisure "Today, it's a throwback to a time when a vacation didn't involve self-improvement or saving the planet." Full review
DK Eyewitness "At the photogenic wading pool, with priceless views, you may be sitting next to a Hollywood producer, starlet, music mogul, or royalty."
Michelin Guide "South Beach's minimalist trend started with Philippe Starck's redo of New York hotelier lan Schrager's 1947 beachside oasis named for Franklin Delano Roosevelt."
Gayot "At the forefront of South Beach's Deco hotel revival, the Delano continues to be one of the premier South Beach destinations for celebrities and those who want to mingle with them."
BlackBook "The lovechild of Ian Schrager and Phillippe Starck is very pretty, a world of fabulousity onto itself."
Afar Magazine "Nearly hidden behind a tall row of hedges is Delano South Beach, a landmarked hotel built in 1947 and renovated by Ian Schrager and Philippe Starck in 1995." Full review
Not For Tourists "Philippe Starck cool on the beach. Swank."
