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
Oyster Upper-middle-range
"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."
BlackBook "Stylish enough and big with the business crowd or those who want to be smack in the middle of downtown Miami."

Concierge "The hammam and sauna provide sybaritic pleasure, even if swimsuits dampen the vibe somewhat: Ask the attendant to run a bath for you in one of the steel soaking tubs in the main room."
Fodor's "An extension of André Balazs's trendy and hip yet budget-conscious hotel chain, the shabby-chic Standard is a mile from South Beach on an island just over the Venetian Causeway." Full review

"The blissfully remote, adults-only (14 ) Standard is about a mile from the beach, but it's still passionately hip." Full review
Time Out "Combining blond wood walls and white linens, the cabin-like spaces are simply and classy, some with outdoor clawfoot tubs." Full review
Star Service "This trendy spa hotel from Andres Balazs is operating at full steam." Full review
Gayot "Taking over the old Lido Spa, this property aspires to revive (and redefine) bathhouse culture."
BlackBook "Riding on the global "bathhouse" trend, tucked away from the cramped center of South Beach."
Frommer's "The quintessential spa resort, the Standard... is housed in Miami Beach's legendary Lido Spa spot, a place that was swinging back in the days when women still wore bathing caps." Full review
Afar Magazine "The Miami outpost of a hotel brand better known for its Los Angeles and New York properties, the Standard eschews the social scene and party vibe, instead focusing on wellness and health." Full review
Not For Tourists "Not your grandma's bingo, but you might lose bowel control."
