"New York hipster Jonathan Morr felt that Miami Beach had lost touch with the bons vivants who gave the city its original cachet, so he decided to take matters into his own hands." Full review

"From the small but beautifully designed white rooms to the chatty, cheerful staff and the relaxing roof deck filled with cushy chaise loungers, this boutique hotel aims to please."

"This small boutique hotel is a first-rate knock-off. It was opened in 2000 by Jonathan Morr, and the Starck-Schrager influence is obvious." 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.

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