Frommer's "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
Concierge "Once you get upstairs to the real hotel entrance, you find an art lover's nirvana, particularly if you like the voluptuous statues of Fernando Botero."
Fodor's "A favorite of business travelers visiting downtown's busy, business-centric Brickell Avenue, this plush sanctuary offers a respite from the nine-to-five mayhem." Full review
DK Eyewitness "A skyscraper in the heart of the business district, this hotel is especially favored by jet-setters and celebs."
Rough Guide "There are over two hundred polished chambers at this skyline-defining business hotel perched beside the waters of Biscayne Bay."
Time Out "A high-flyer (70 storeys) in the Downtown financial district, the Four Seasons could be mistaken for an office building. But beyond the façade and the utilitarian lower lobby, it's pure palatial chic." Full review
Star Service "Superior and deluxe rooms face the city, and premier rooms overlook the bay. Corner suites feature outer connecting doors and an additional half-bath. Connecting rooms are available." Full review
Gayot "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."

"Admirers claim guests "live like angels" at this "elegantly appointed" hotel in the "up-and-coming" Brickell area, citing "top-shelf" service provided by "supportive" staffers."

Jetsetter "A hip Miami Beach hostel with designer interiors and plenty of buzz from prestigious travel publications." Full review
The Telegraph8.0
"At once one of Miami’s trendiest and most affordable hotels. There is a lush, inviting courtyard and pool." Full review
Mr & Mrs Smith "Freehand Miami is a hip hostel-esque stay for sociable millennials." Full review
Condé Nast Traveler "The Freehand isn't your only choice of an inexpensive stay in South Beach, but it's absolutely the best one." 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.
