Frommer's "This hotel presents a serious catch-22: It's got a front-row view of all of Miami Beach, Biscayne Bay, the Miami River, and the Atlantic Ocean, but it is also located in downtown Miami." Full review
Oyster Upper-middle-range
"This huge 641-room downtown tower has been regularly renovated -- the lobby was redone in 2008, and guestrooms were refreshed in 2012." Full review
Star Service "This is the queen of the second tier, a colorful and superbly located hotel that has been checking off all the important boxes since it opened in the early 1980s." Full review

Avoid the older units if at all possible.

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
The Telegraph7.0
"Located in the heart of South Beach, the Dream South Beach occupies a historic Art Deco building on bustling Collins Avenue." 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
Lonely Planet "It feels like a cross between the interior of an Indian palace, an electric-blue tube of toothpaste and one of those hip European ice hotels." Full review
