"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

"New York hipster Jonathan Morr felt that Miami Beach had lost touch with the bons vivants who gave the city its original cachet, so he decided to take matters into his own hands." Full review
"The 67 minimalist rooms may be small, but they've been impeccably designed by India Mahdavi with comfy white beds and chocolate-colored sofas."
"You’d think the Townhouse was designed by the guy who styled the iPod." Full review
Mid-Range
"Located right on the beach, the Townhouse offers bright, stylish rooms, but little else." Full review
"A shabby chic hotel that is more chic than shabby, the Townhouse is quirky with exercise equipment in the hallways, free L-shaped couches for guests, and clean, simple decor."

"The upscale beach house decor by New York interior designer India Mahdavi emphasizes modern white furnishings accented by striking red decor... and signature curvy couches."
"In the boutique division of hotels, handy to the lavish Shore Club, is the very modern and very red-and-white Townhouse."
