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."

Concierge "The hammam and sauna provide sybaritic pleasure, even if swimsuits dampen the vibe somewhat: Ask the attendant to run a bath for you in one of the steel soaking tubs in the main room."
Fodor's "An extension of André Balazs's trendy and hip yet budget-conscious hotel chain, the shabby-chic Standard is a mile from South Beach on an island just over the Venetian Causeway." Full review
OysterUpscale
"The blissfully remote, adults-only (14 ) Standard is about a mile from the beach, but it's still passionately hip." Full review
Time Out "Combining blond wood walls and white linens, the cabin-like spaces are simply and classy, some with outdoor clawfoot tubs." Full review
Star Service "This trendy spa hotel from Andres Balazs is operating at full steam." Full review
Gayot "Taking over the old Lido Spa, this property aspires to revive (and redefine) bathhouse culture."
BlackBook "Riding on the global "bathhouse" trend, tucked away from the cramped center of South Beach."
Frommer's "The quintessential spa resort, the Standard... is housed in Miami Beach's legendary Lido Spa spot, a place that was swinging back in the days when women still wore bathing caps." Full review
Afar Magazine "The Miami outpost of a hotel brand better known for its Los Angeles and New York properties, the Standard eschews the social scene and party vibe, instead focusing on wellness and health." Full review
Not For Tourists "Not your grandma's bingo, but you might lose bowel control."
