"Literally a one-minute walk from the beach, this trendy boutique hotel -- like many others in the area -- caters to young, hip partiers." Full review
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

Frommer's "Each room and suite in the oceanfront hotel is a nod to the stately colonial rooms of yesteryear blended with the modern aesthetic of South Beach." Full review
Concierge "Situated on the quieter northern end of South Beach's raucous Ocean Drive, the Betsy Hotel is, in many ways, a fish out of water—picture a Southern belle surrounded by Art Deco divas."

Rough Guide Star
"Leisure meets luxury at The Betsy, a 61-room beachfront beauty located on a quiet stretch of Ocean Drive."
Star Service "Fashionable, understated and wholly in charge of this end of Ocean Drive, The Betsy curtsies elegantly alongside its peers The Tides and Victor." Full review
Gayot "Following a complete renovation, this Ocean Drive landmark with its impressive colonial facade has become one of the freshest faces in Miami Beach."
BlackBook "Sixty-three rooms and suites decked out with wi-fi, iPod docks, huge flatscreens and TVs built into the mirrors in the louve."

"Classy The Betsy Hotel stands apart from the famed candy-coated, neon-lit strip on which it sits." Full review
Condé Nast Traveler88.9
"The fresh interior is more Savannah than SoBe, with chairs upholstered in striped fabric, curtains and bedspreads bordered in matching colors—lavender, mustard, green—and a neat pile of books." Full review
Jetsetter "SoBe’s demure Southern Belle is a standout in a sea of flamboyant Art Deco divas." Full review
