Frommer's "This hotel presents a serious catch-22: It's got a front-row view of all of Miami Beach, Biscayne Bay, the Miami River, and the Atlantic Ocean, but it is also located in downtown Miami." Full review

"This huge 641-room downtown tower has been regularly renovated -- the lobby was redone in 2008, and guestrooms were refreshed in 2012." Full review
Star Service "This is the queen of the second tier, a colorful and superbly located hotel that has been checking off all the important boxes since it opened in the early 1980s." Full review

Avoid the older units if at all possible.
Gayot "This 34-story tall landmark hotel with 641 guest rooms and suites is located within walking distance of the international Bayside Marketplace and central to the city's business district."

Ask for an upper-floor room for superlative views of the pool.

"There's nothing luxurious about all-vintage, authentically nicked furniture (except maybe the price)." Full review
Travel + Leisure "A 1940 Art Deco masterpiece that served as a backdrop for many Esther Williams films, this hotel delivers the grace and pure fantasy of old-line Miami." Full review
DK Eyewitness "The Raleigh is now a happening celebrity magnet, with a restaurant and 20sstyle bar that remains true to the hotel’s Art Deco origins."

"The French-inflected Raleigh is like France itself: effortlessly chic, impossibly seductive, and occasionally vexing." Full review
Time Out "It now boasts all mod cons, down to bedside buttons controlling everything from lights to room temperature." Full review
Star Service "Located at 18th Street, on the golden fringes of South Beach, on the quieter north end of hotel row...this place is a stylish underdog with a notable glam-factor." Full review
Gayot "Despite its rich history, the 1940s, beachfront Raleigh Hotel feels fated for the 21st century."
