"Once a stuffy hotel of Miami Vice-era fame, this place is now a swank member of the exclusive Kimpton Group."
Star Service
"This property has one of the best locations in Coconut Grove, but its record of good—not great—maintenance, and its proximity to nightlife...puts it firmly in the midrange category.

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.

"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.
