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."
Zagat4.3
"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."

Frommer's "The Zen-like, Asian-inspired Setai is truly for that 1% of society who can afford it." Full review
Concierge "The place is stunning... it's a hotel for grownups, people who aren't interested in parading around the pool or having a party in the lobby."
Travel + Leisure "With some 40 floors, the Setai rises over South Beach like an opulent obelisk, serving as a playground for damn-the-expense visitors." Full review
DK Eyewitness "This South Beach hotel opened in 2005 on the site of the former Vanderbilt Hotel. It is pricey but has every luxury, with 50 rooms and 75 suites."
Rough Guide "Condo-tower-cum-hotel that’s known for its celeb-heavy clientele... as much as for its pricey, vaguely Asian-themed rooms."
Time Out "In a case of Orient excess, the Setai boasts a four-bedroom penthouse with a $30,000 rack rate and the starriest clientele in town." Full review
Star Service "At 21st Street, on the edge of SoBe, this hotel occupies a sparkling white and reflective glass complex that faces the beach like a giant's tuning fork." Full review

Those who choose to brave the looks and lenses on the beach are well taken care of, with umbrellas, beach chairs and day beds at the ready, and a full staff on hand to quell thirsts and hungers.
Gayot "It is elite and divine."
BlackBook "Once among most stunning lux hotels on the Beach, but now showing its age and getting stale."
Zagat4.2
"Asian touches (antique jade, teak accents) throughout this "very sophisticated" property yield a "peaceful" ambiance that extends to the "spacious", "sexy" art deco rooms."
