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."

"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."

"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."
