Concierge "A showstopper resort that's a bold step away from the Federal-style-and-Oriental-rug look of its sister properties."

"A huge (though relaxed) beachfront resort with reliable service, a great pool, a top-notch spa, and a modern fitness center, the Ritz offers more for the money." Full review
DK Eyewitness "Just steps away from a surfeit of dining, shopping, and entertainment choices, this Ritz-Carlton is located directly on the beach."
Star Service "Located on a prized stretch of sand next to the stylized Sagamore, the Ritz-Carlton, South Beach remains the most interesting of Ritz-Carlton's contrasting Miami triumvirate." Full review
Gayot "In a neighborhood teeming with monuments to 1950s architecture, this new take on an old favorite surpasses its competitors when it comes to savvy style."
BlackBook "No other Ritz in the world has a tricked-out poolside DJ who looks as if he stepped straight out of Studio 54 circa 1978."
Zagat4.0

Frommer's "A victory for Ocean Drive, a street that hasn't seen such a swank stay since the Tides, Hotel Victor, managed by Hyatt, is a hyperluxe, 88-room boutique see-and-be-seen hotel." Full review
Concierge "If you want to stay on Ocean—and be just steps from the busiest slice of the beach—this is a good place to do it."
OysterUpscale
"With eccentric furniture, a jellyfish aquarium and a coed, clothing-optional hammam, the Victor packs sexy glamour into a small Ocean Drive boutique." Full review
Travel + Leisure "The L. Murray Dixon–built Hotel Victor has been restored in high sybaritic fashion by celebrated French designer Jacques Garcia." Full review
DK Eyewitness "The most fabulous thing to hit Ocean Drive since Versace, this Art Deco boutique hotel was designed by Jacques Garcia of Paris’s hip Hotel Costes fame."
Rough Guide "This lavish hotel designed by hotelier Jacques Garcia is in the style of a clubby, Ibiza-style spot, complete with in-residence DJs spinning weeknights until midnight."
Time Out "Adjacent to the Versace Mansion, the Victor is every bit as rich and opulent as the designer label itself." Full review
Star Service "Located in the heart of the action, across Ocean Drive from the beach, this unique hotel has a lot of truth in its name; since reopening in 2003, it has become a top pick in South Beach." Full review
Gayot "Adding to Miami's reputation as a hip hotel mecca, Hotel Victor blends South Beach Art Deco and Parisian styles."
BlackBook "When your neighbor is Versace's Casa Casuarina, you have to do something special to get attention."
