Rough Guide Star
"Guestroom light switches at this imaginative hotspot turn on everything from the floral mirror by the vanity to the blue low-lights by the bed."
Star Service "An excellent choice indeed, aimed at design-deprived individuals and small groups in search of proximity to the action, excellent on-site dining (celebrity room service!), a cool rooftop pool." Full review
Gayot "Located right on Collins Avenue in South Beach, this serene hotel offers a trendy vibe in a sophisticated fashion."
BlackBook "Dreamy blue interiors make for romantic rooms, complete with mood lighting for your personal desires."
Fodor's "Dream is idyllic for ventures in hedonism: tanning on the beach (with quick access), making new friends (over sun-kissed libations on the roof), and late-night debauchery." Full review
Jetsetter "SoBe dreams do come true at this hotspot in an Art Deco icon near the beach and next to the Versace Mansion." Full review

Time Out "Art deco glamor meets French Moroccan style, courtesy of designer Michael Czysz, with a result that somehow looks a bit space age." Full review

There’s also a guest kitchen, which is open from 7 a.m. until 10 p.m. Just make sure you remembered to bring your own food and don’t try to steal someone else’s.
Time Out "Small, intimate and quirky, the Freehand has more character than many of its South Beach competitors." Full review

It is technically a hostel, so you can choose from shared rooms for four or eight or private rooms for two.
