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."

"A huge (though relaxed) beachfront resort with reliable service, a great pool, a top-notch spa, and a modern fitness center, the Ritz offers more for the money." Full review
DK Eyewitness "Just steps away from a surfeit of dining, shopping, and entertainment choices, this Ritz-Carlton is located directly on the beach."
Star Service "Located on a prized stretch of sand next to the stylized Sagamore, the Ritz-Carlton, South Beach remains the most interesting of Ritz-Carlton's contrasting Miami triumvirate." Full review
Gayot "In a neighborhood teeming with monuments to 1950s architecture, this new take on an old favorite surpasses its competitors when it comes to savvy style."
BlackBook "No other Ritz in the world has a tricked-out poolside DJ who looks as if he stepped straight out of Studio 54 circa 1978."
