Frommer's "Each room and suite in the oceanfront hotel is a nod to the stately colonial rooms of yesteryear blended with the modern aesthetic of South Beach." Full review
Concierge "Situated on the quieter northern end of South Beach's raucous Ocean Drive, the Betsy Hotel is, in many ways, a fish out of water—picture a Southern belle surrounded by Art Deco divas."

"After a $40 million overhaul, the Betsy reopened in 2009 with a beautiful rooftop spa and solarium, a renowned restaurant (BLT steak), and bright, charming rooms." Full review
Rough Guide Star
"Leisure meets luxury at The Betsy, a 61-room beachfront beauty located on a quiet stretch of Ocean Drive."
Star Service "Fashionable, understated and wholly in charge of this end of Ocean Drive, The Betsy curtsies elegantly alongside its peers The Tides and Victor." Full review
Gayot "Following a complete renovation, this Ocean Drive landmark with its impressive colonial facade has become one of the freshest faces in Miami Beach."

Frommer's "The Miami version of the famous Arizona and Lenox, Massachusetts, spa and wellness hotel is located directly on the beach." Full review
Fodor's "Even with its glamour-puss all-stars, this hotel still maintains a casual vibe, catering to its core members—those who work in the arts." Full review
Condé Nast Traveler "The 50-room hotel is in what’s been dubbed “Mid-Beach,” and attracts Miami’s media and music heavy hitters, plus a considerable Brit contingent." Full review
Star Service "At around 400 sq ft, the smallest units are large and inviting. The remainder of the accommodations measure in at around 500-800 sq ft, and all have sitting areas." Full review
Gayot "Located on the site of the historic Sovereign Hotel, this property now enjoys status as a private members club with a hotel and Cowshed Spa outpost for anyone willing to pay the high-end rates."
BlackBook "Membership has its privileges. Located on the site of the historic Sovereign hotel, swank tower exudes Miami nice while adding elements of urban cool the beach has always lacked."
Afar Magazine "Tucked away on a bend in the road on the northern part of Collins Avenue, the Soho Beach House feels surprisingly removed from the Miami Beach bustle." Full review
Travel + Leisure "Not only do they curate an all-natural product line and enforce full moon yoga on the beach, they’ve also got therapists with 20-plus years of experience, so you know you’re in good hands.
