"If we had a choice between Eden Roc and Fontainebleau, we'd choose the Eden Roc, hands down, for the seamless service and for a more relaxed, much less Las Vegasy vibe than its neighbor." Full review

"High-up in Miami Beach -- $20 taxi to the South Beach action -- the only real draw to the location is the pricey wining and dining at the snazzy Fontainebleau resort next door." Full review
DK Eyewitness
"A throwback to the golden age of Miami Beach, the Eden Roc is a Morris Lapidus-designed landmark that blends ostentatious retro with contemporary design."
Rough Guide
"A Miami Beach landmark since the 1950s, Eden Roc was given a huge makeover in 2008 – expect infinity pools, tropical fountains, a stunning 1950s lobby and rooms equipped with iPod docks."
Star Service
"A popular commercial address, it serves individuals, romantics and even families, with well-rounded facilities and a great staff. Weddings have become popular, too. " 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.
