Frommer's "Sceney it's not, but scenic? Absolutely. With its towering ceilings, sultry furnishings, and massive gilded mirrors, the elegant 1940s-style National is a Deco darling." Full review
Fodor's "The most spectacular feature is Miami Beach's longest pool, which stretches from the tower, past a series of comfy black-and-white-striped cabanas and poolside tables, to a duo of tropical tiki bars." Full review

This is a great choice for commercial travelers, but high-end folk best choose their accommodations carefully: Cabana rooms and suites.
BlackBook "Art Deco history meets modern amenities. Choose from historic tower or poolside cabana accommodation."
Not For Tourists "Beautiful art deco hotel with absolutely no nightlife whatsoever."
Condé Nast Traveler "Its beachfront location, two pools (one of them 203-feet long), and playfully decorated rooms in the main tower and 36 cabana suites, attract a young, stylish mix of guests." Full review
