Ask for an upper-floor room for superlative views of the pool.

"There's nothing luxurious about all-vintage, authentically nicked furniture (except maybe the price)." Full review
Travel + Leisure "A 1940 Art Deco masterpiece that served as a backdrop for many Esther Williams films, this hotel delivers the grace and pure fantasy of old-line Miami." Full review
DK Eyewitness "The Raleigh is now a happening celebrity magnet, with a restaurant and 20sstyle bar that remains true to the hotel’s Art Deco origins."

"The French-inflected Raleigh is like France itself: effortlessly chic, impossibly seductive, and occasionally vexing." Full review
Time Out "It now boasts all mod cons, down to bedside buttons controlling everything from lights to room temperature." Full review
Star Service "Located at 18th Street, on the golden fringes of South Beach, on the quieter north end of hotel row...this place is a stylish underdog with a notable glam-factor." Full review
Gayot "Despite its rich history, the 1940s, beachfront Raleigh Hotel feels fated for the 21st century."

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
i
It is technically a hostel, so you can choose from shared rooms for four or eight or private rooms for two.
