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.

Frommer's "The Miami version of the famous Arizona and Lenox, Massachusetts, spa and wellness hotel is located directly on the beach." Full review
Fodor's "Even with its glamour-puss all-stars, this hotel still maintains a casual vibe, catering to its core members—those who work in the arts." Full review
Condé Nast Traveler "The 50-room hotel is in what’s been dubbed “Mid-Beach,” and attracts Miami’s media and music heavy hitters, plus a considerable Brit contingent." Full review
Star Service "At around 400 sq ft, the smallest units are large and inviting. The remainder of the accommodations measure in at around 500-800 sq ft, and all have sitting areas." Full review
Gayot "Located on the site of the historic Sovereign Hotel, this property now enjoys status as a private members club with a hotel and Cowshed Spa outpost for anyone willing to pay the high-end rates."
BlackBook "Membership has its privileges. Located on the site of the historic Sovereign hotel, swank tower exudes Miami nice while adding elements of urban cool the beach has always lacked."
Afar Magazine "Tucked away on a bend in the road on the northern part of Collins Avenue, the Soho Beach House feels surprisingly removed from the Miami Beach bustle." Full review
Travel + Leisure "Not only do they curate an all-natural product line and enforce full moon yoga on the beach, they’ve also got therapists with 20-plus years of experience, so you know you’re in good hands.
