Star Service "The new SLS is a modern Shakespearean stage for today's Romeos, Juliets and Richard IIIs, whose narcissistic tendencies are exceeded only by their ability to spend cold hard cash." Full review
Gayot "The production and design team behind this property aimed to redefine contemporary hospitality through creativity, innovation and cooperative efforts with experts such as designer Philippe Starck."
BlackBook "The reigning princes of LA nightlife, sbe, expand their empire into the Magic City with the swish new SLS Hotel South Beach."
Zagat4.7
"Designer Philippe Starck's signature white decor includes a French twist in this beachfront boutique's guestrooms, where wall hangings evoke 18th-century carved headboards."
Fodor's "Smack in the center of South Beach, the SLS Hotel marks designer Philippe Starck's triumphant large-scale return to South Beach." Full review
Travel + Leisure "A 1939 Art Deco landmark has been reborn thanks to nightlife mogul Sam Nazarian and design ace Philippe Starck—the duo behind SLS’s sleek Beverly Hills flagship." Full review
Wallpaper "The reception is inspired by a retro-styled American 'sleep-away' camp... while the guest rooms have a traditional old world feel, echoing France's pre-Revolutionary royal court." Full review
The Telegraph8.0
"One of the trendiest spots for party people along South Beach’s glittering Collins Avenue, the SLS South Beach is home to Hyde Beach nightclub, The Bazaar by José Andrés and Katsuya restaurants." Full review
Jetsetter "A glitzy homage to South Beach decadence, complete with a celebrity pool scene and naughty touches like mirrored ceilings." Full review
Mr & Mrs Smith "SLS South Beach, Miami, is as much of a fusion dish as its surroundings." Full review

Frommer's "The Zen-like, Asian-inspired Setai is truly for that 1% of society who can afford it." Full review
Concierge "The place is stunning... it's a hotel for grownups, people who aren't interested in parading around the pool or having a party in the lobby."
Travel + Leisure "With some 40 floors, the Setai rises over South Beach like an opulent obelisk, serving as a playground for damn-the-expense visitors." Full review
DK Eyewitness "This South Beach hotel opened in 2005 on the site of the former Vanderbilt Hotel. It is pricey but has every luxury, with 50 rooms and 75 suites."
Rough Guide "Condo-tower-cum-hotel that’s known for its celeb-heavy clientele... as much as for its pricey, vaguely Asian-themed rooms."
Time Out "In a case of Orient excess, the Setai boasts a four-bedroom penthouse with a $30,000 rack rate and the starriest clientele in town." Full review
Star Service "At 21st Street, on the edge of SoBe, this hotel occupies a sparkling white and reflective glass complex that faces the beach like a giant's tuning fork." Full review

Those who choose to brave the looks and lenses on the beach are well taken care of, with umbrellas, beach chairs and day beds at the ready, and a full staff on hand to quell thirsts and hungers.
Gayot "It is elite and divine."
BlackBook "Once among most stunning lux hotels on the Beach, but now showing its age and getting stale."
Zagat4.2
"Asian touches (antique jade, teak accents) throughout this "very sophisticated" property yield a "peaceful" ambiance that extends to the "spacious", "sexy" art deco rooms."
