Frommer's "Each room and suite in the oceanfront hotel is a nod to the stately colonial rooms of yesteryear blended with the modern aesthetic of South Beach." Full review
Concierge "Situated on the quieter northern end of South Beach's raucous Ocean Drive, the Betsy Hotel is, in many ways, a fish out of water—picture a Southern belle surrounded by Art Deco divas."

"This clean, modern, extremely low-key, 24-room hotel is on a quiet residential street just south of the South Beach action." Full review
DK Eyewitness "In a trendy area, Hotel St. Augustine is part hotel, part spa, and wholly a refuge from other boutique hotels which mask themselves as lounges."
Gayot "Located near the Third Street Beach, this 1937 Art Deco hotel offers 24 elegantly furnished guest rooms."
BlackBook "Located in SoFi (South of Fifth), this in-the-thick-of-it-all boutique hotel feels blessedly out of the way. Well, out of the traffic and snarl of rookies anyway."
Zagat "Spa-like amenities fill each of the 24 guestrooms in this boutique hotel -- multijet showers that convert into steam cabins (with speakers), aromatherapy oils and skin treatments."
