"A clean, lively beachside resort in sleepy Miami Beach, the Palms takes style lessons from the hip boutiques." Full review
Travel + Leisure "With its lush gardens, oceanfront pool, and full-service Aveda spa, The Palms Hotel & Spa Miami enjoys esteemed status on chic South Beach." Full review
DK Eyewitness "A short distance from South Beach proper, the Palms is a great choice for an inexpensive beach hotel that does not look like it stepped out of a travel magazine."
Time Out "Combining old-school Havana, Deep South sultriness and a touch of glam, this boutique hotel is a romantic alternative to the South Beach brigade." Full review
Star Service "In a gray and white high-rise dating from 1945, this hotel remains one of the most attractive, straightforward, midrange contemporary resorts in Miami Beach." Full review
Gayot "The clean lines, soothing ivory tones and lavish amounts of open space at this hotel will make you feel as if you're in a Caribbean hideaway."
BlackBook "This recent addition to sky-high beachfront luxury is technically north of what's South Beach, but it is nonetheless close enough to count itself in among the action."

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.
