Frommer's "Part spa, part hotel, and part haven for hipsters seeking refuge from the more mainstream boutique hotel-cum-hangouts." Full review
Lonely Planet Top Choice
"Wood that’s blonder than Barbie and a crisp-and-clean deco theme combine to create one of SoFi’s most elegant yet stunningly modern sleeps." Full review
OysterBudget
"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."

"The stunning 312-room W South Beach... blends cute comforts, intricate design (that spares no expense), and flawless service." Full review
Travel + Leisure "Miami's first W property is a major departure for the brand: all 408 spacious residences have a French bohemian aesthetic, and are done in various shades of white and gray." Full review
Star Service "It is part conference center, part nightclub, with everything but the gym and accommodations contributing to its dichotomous existence. " Full review
Gayot "Built on a colorful stretch of South Beach, this contemporary hotel has much to offer."
BlackBook "W brings successful brand of mega-boutiquery to South Beach, replacing usual chrome and dark finishes with de rigueur Miami blinding whites and big beachy views."
Zagat4.2
"A "sexy clientele" looking to "feel like a rock star" patronizes this "cool" "hot spot" with a "very flashy" SoBe atmosphere."
Afar Magazine "The hotel's common spaces include the lobby and the Living Room bar, featuring incredibly high ceilings, tall and wide walls, and a rotating selection of large-scale contemporary art pieces." Full review
Wallpaper "Bold slashes of white, including a handmade shag rug in the living room, mother of pearl wallpaper in the guest bathroom, and a glossy lacquered dining table flanked by white leather chairs." Full review
