"Deciding between the hyperluxe Mandarin Oriental and the equally luxe, albeit somewhat museumlike, Four Seasons is almost like trying to tell the difference between Ava and Zsa Zsa Gabor." Full review

"Attractions inside the 70-story glass-and-granite tower include an 80-foot wall of water, two-acre terrace with three swimming pools and the 40,000-square-foot The Sports Club/LA."
BlackBook
"Soaring 70 stories above Biscayne Bay, it's the tallest building south of Atlanta. Exterior is über minimalist. Interior is five-star opulence."
