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.

"The famed London private members’ club’s Miami Beach outpost is found just north of South Beach in lush oceanfront digs." Full review
Departures "49 rooms or five suites with Cuban-tiled floors and South American–inspired decor. Beachside 3 rooms in the Art Deco tower are a favorite." 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."
