Concierge "Since emerging from a three-year, $1 billion (yes, billion) makeover in late 2008, Fontainebleau remains an It spot in a town that absolutely loves to be looked at."

Be sure to stay on the ocean side of the resort, where you'll feel as if you're at sea on a yacht, thanks to sweeping Atlantic views from your curved balcony.
Fodor's "There's so much going on in and around the hotel that you can easily forget about the downy sands directly behind the property." Full review

"After its $1 billion facelift in 2008, the Fontainebleau's 1,504 new rooms, nine pools, phenomenal spa and gorgeous design are hard to top." Full review
DK Eyewitness "Fabulously retro, the Fontainebleu a flamboyant Las Vegas-style with Art Deco grandeur. Rooms have been renovated and the hotel is expanding into a condo-hotel."

Gayot "This 37-story all-suites property, adjacent to the original historic Fontainebleau hotel, overlooks the Atlantic Ocean, the Intracoastal Waterway and downtown Miami."
BlackBook "Much of the old design was recreated/restored: the black and white bow-tie floors and grand columns in the lobby, gradiose chandeliers, famous "staircase to nowhere"."

Frommer's "Part spa, part hotel, and part haven for hipsters seeking refuge from the more mainstream boutique hotel-cum-hangouts." Full review
Lonely Planet Top Choice
"Wood that’s blonder than Barbie and a crisp-and-clean deco theme combine to create one of SoFi’s most elegant yet stunningly modern sleeps." Full review
OysterBudget
"This clean, modern, extremely low-key, 24-room hotel is on a quiet residential street just south of the South Beach action." Full review
DK Eyewitness "In a trendy area, Hotel St. Augustine is part hotel, part spa, and wholly a refuge from other boutique hotels which mask themselves as lounges."
Gayot "Located near the Third Street Beach, this 1937 Art Deco hotel offers 24 elegantly furnished guest rooms."
BlackBook "Located in SoFi (South of Fifth), this in-the-thick-of-it-all boutique hotel feels blessedly out of the way. Well, out of the traffic and snarl of rookies anyway."
Zagat "Spa-like amenities fill each of the 24 guestrooms in this boutique hotel -- multijet showers that convert into steam cabins (with speakers), aromatherapy oils and skin treatments."
The Telegraph6.0
"A tranquil hideaway located in SoFi (South Beach’s South of Fifth district), the Hotel St. Augustine offers 24 loft-style, spa-inspired guestrooms." Full review
National Geographic "Art Deco landmark with 24 loft-style rooms two blocks off Ocean Drive in the South of Fifth district; bathrooms sport "spa bars" stocked with essential oils, candles, and incense." Full review
